Fitness Express is once again doing some heavy lifting for decorated powerlifter, Carlos Petterson-Griffith.

Jamie McDonald, CEO of Guyana’s leading supplement and gym equipment supplier, recently handed over a cheque to Petterson-Griffith to help the 200+ pounds behemoth offset expenses for the imminent StrongFit Barbados 2019.

StrongFit Barbados will be held on May 4 and 5 at the Grounds, Valley Fitness Gym, Valley, St. George, commencing at 16:00hrs daily.

Guyana will be represented by Petterson-Griffith (runner up at the Guyana’s Strongest Man competition) and the nation’s strongest man, Julio Sinclair.

The event, which was previously held under the StrongFest banner, has been rebranded as StrongFit to identify the strongest and fittest male and female. Competitors from other Caribbean countries have been invited to participate. The main objective of the StrongFit Festival is to facilitate the development of males and females who are interested in actively participating in Regional and international powerlifting and cross fit competitions.

The Fitness Express athlete thanked McDonald who has sponsored numerous athletes and competitions for once again being a dependable benefactor.
