Empowering Women to Lift Heavy

Driven by our passion for empowering women, our goal is to ensure that lifters are provided an opportunity and location to showcase the result of their efforts in a safe and competitive environment.

From registration to competition day, it all starts with you providing the ultimate experience for lifters.

At our weightlifting meets, we will create an empowering space where weightlifters can come together and focus on their achievements. Ensuring an environment of equality and respect amongst all lifters is a priority to Barbell Babes and part of the mission in directing these weightlifting meets. A meet with Barbell Babes is a fun and empowering experience. It's a chance to challenge yourself, connect with other female lifters, and support a good cause all at the same time.

Our goal is to provide a safe and judgment-free space for women weightlifters to reach their ambitious goals. Ultimately, through our efforts, we can empower all weightlifters involved regardless of background or ability level.
