00:00 Hi, my name's Hayley, I'm owner at Rep Fitness Studio.

00:02 So we're holding a strongman competition today.

00:05 We've got a men's beginners category,

00:07 men's novice category, and also the same for female.

00:11 They're gonna be running through five different events.

00:13 So they've got log press, farmers carrying to a tire flip.

00:17 They've got deadlifts.

00:18 They've got a yoke, which is 25 meter carry.

00:22 And then they've also got a ball over yoke

00:24 or a stone over yoke, whichever they prefer.

00:27 So obviously all the weights are different

00:28 for each category.

00:29 We've had a really good turnout for this event.

00:31 It's the first one we've ever done.

00:33 We're gonna try and make it a yearly thing.

00:35 So it's something that people can sign up to every year

00:37 to get better and progress.

00:38 Yeah, we've had quite a lot of interest

00:41 from outside of the gym.

00:42 So there's quite a lot of members from other gyms

00:45 who have come to join in on today's event.

00:47 And I'm really, really pleased with the turnout.

00:48 It's gonna be a really good day.
