Mental Health Fundraiser for HelpU - All profits raised from the event will be donated to Help Cymru to ensure that support shown locally is returned to local mental health initiatives.
TIME FOR WALES TO SNATCH THE RECORD.
📍 Planet Fitness, Tredegar | 📅 Sunday 6 December 2026 | 🎟️ £30
This is where the Welsh strength community comes together to lift for something bigger.
Together We Lift Wales is a full day of coach-led strongman training, connection and purpose, raising funds for HelpU Cymru and helping to strengthen mental health support across Wales.
This is not a traditional strongman competition.
There are no expectations to arrive competition-ready and no pressure to prove yourself.
Athletes will be placed into ability-based groups, creating a supportive environment where experienced competitors, everyday gym members and people trying strongman movements for the first time can train alongside one another.
FOUR COACH-LED STATIONS
Every athlete will rotate through four coach-led strength stations:
LOG, FLOOR TO OVERHEAD
SANDBAG LOADING
YOKE FOR DISTANCE
TRADITIONAL DEADLIFT
HOW THE DAY WILL RUN
Athletes should arrive between 9am and 9:30am to register, collect their event T-shirt and wristband, meet their group and settle into the gym.
At 9:45am, we will hold the event briefing, introduce the event team, first aiders and Mental Health First Aiders, and explain what to expect throughout the day.
From 10am until approximately 2pm, groups will rotate around the four training stations. Each station will last around 40 minutes, with recovery time between rotations and an extended break around midday.
Once the station rotations are complete, HelpU Cymru will share more about the support they provide and how stronger local mental health connections can be created across Wales.
Then it is time for the finale.
THE TOGETHER WE LIFT TANDEM DEADLIFT
The legendary Together We Lift Tandem Deadlift Bar brings two people together for one shared lift.
The bar will run in a rising-weight format, with pairs choosing which weights they would like to attempt. Everyone can take part, whether the goal is to experience the bar for the first time or help chase down the 547kg mark set at Together We Lift Wales in Swansea.
It is the movement that captures everything this day stands for:
Communication. Trust. Connection.
YOUR £30 ENTRY INCLUDES
• A full day of coach-led strongman training
• Four ability-based event stations
• Access to the Together We Lift Tandem Deadlift Bar
• An exclusive event T-shirt
• An event goodie bag
• The opportunity to support an important Welsh mental health organisation
LIFTING IN AID OF HELPU CYMRU

NO FIXED WEIGHTS - LIFT WHAT YOU WANT.
We will start at 100kg to allow everyone the chance to get start, then it's a case of dipping in, or out depending on how you feel.
The aim is for everyone to get involved as this is the event that really solidifies the message to Together We Are Stronger, however for those who are target driven and fancy a challenge, this is a chance to set a new Welsh Axle Tandem Deadlift Record.
