IBC member Hannah Sandy competed in her first ever strongwoman competition! Here’s a little recap in her words. We’re proud of you Hannah! “My first strongwoman competition is in the books. I didn't win, but I certainly didn't lose. I put a 150 # mouser block over the bar, carried a 455 # yoke, and pulled a Jeep then a boat. I'm disappointed I didn't get the shiny trophy, but proud that I stepped out and did something that I never thought I could. So thankful to be able to compete with such amazing women and to have the support of such wonderful people. I'll be back. I'll be stronger. I'll get the shiny trophy. ”

Beginning Monday, April 1st, we will begin our “Fit Happens” 9 a.m. specialty class time. Join us Monday through Thursday at 9 a.m. every week and get fit with our new class line-up:

Ab-Mazing Monday - core work
BLT (Butt, Legs & Thighs) Day
Hump Day/Pump Day - Upper Body
Hell’s Bells - kettlebells, dumbbells, barbells - you name it, we’re gonna move them

Although these classes will help target specific areas, it is important to know that you cannot burn fat in specific areas of your body. Our goal is to get your body in cardiovascular shape so that you can burn fat all over your body, while dedicating specific days each week to targeted areas so you can be assured you are getting a full-body workout throughout the week. $60/month for Fit Happens members ($50 for registrations prior to April 1st) for access to 9 a.m. class time only
CrossFit Members - FREE
$25 add-on for IBC/Open Gym memberships

Our boy Gary Harrison finally stepped back onto the platform this September after a little break from competing, at Annual Barfight. Gary hit a 557 pound squat, a 419 pound bench and a smooth 628 pound deadlift to total over 1600 with a 1604 total in the 275 pound weight class; which was enough to secure the win ! Pictured with Gary are teammates Sam Robinson and Spencer Flanagan who are both USPA certifies judges, teammates Austin Cain and Nathan Grimmett , who came to support and spot-load, and in the middle; big dawg Johnny Layne, the meet director and international judge.

This year we had an athlete get the opportunity to compete at the national level. Nathan Grimmett competed at the Drug-Tested National Championship held in Charleston, WV. There was a huge field, and Nate rose to the challenge and put up some huge numbers. He posted a 529 pound squat, a 325 pound bench press, and a MASSIVE 634 pound deadlift to get the win in the Junior 18-19 weight class at 198. There are BIG THINGS in this guys future. Good job Nate!

2018 is winding down so we would like to reflect on some of our athletes’ performances from this year! Former IBC athlete and forever IBC family Kelsey Fink kicked off the 2018 powerlifting season in April at the MASS fit expo in Tyson’s Corner, VA. Kelsey weighed in at 142 pounds and totaled 716 pounds which was good enough for a first place win in her weight class and division!
Pictured with Kelsey: the administrative team and IBC club Owners Johnny and Mindy Layne.
