Last year a small group of us pulled a Boeing 747 at the Cleveland Airport to benefit the Special Olympics - Ohio. We had a great time and would love to do it again with a larger team. This year the pull is on Saturday, September 26.
Minimum fundraising goal for the entire team is $1200 and we can have as many as 20 people. It costs $25 to register for the plane pull and that includes an event shirt. If you are interested in pulling a plane with us, reach out! This year everyone on the team will be provided a free Team Grizzly Strength shirt. Our time last year was 12:59 so we gotta be better than last time.

If you are someone who already reached out to me, please fill out the form if you can, that way I don't let it slip my mind. We look forward to another Blue Tip's Strongest, and having so many of you back again.

It's almost been 3 years and because of the incredible community that has been built inside these walls we're upgrading to a new location. We want to thank every person who has trained with us and helped make this next step possible.
I know you all will miss the spooky grate in front of the entrance. The haunted door that opens and shuts while you're at the gym alone by yourself. The scary ghost that comes in when it gets started by the booms of iron and stone clanging. We've made a lot of memories here but the best is to come.
Our new location is just about a mile from our current downtown spot, and it gives us the opportunity to grow not only in space but in services that we can offer. Current members will be getting an email with further details soon. This move will be happening within the next 30 days as we make plans for the layout and initial build out of the space.

We really encourage watching live in person (spectators are free) but if you can’t we’ll have a live stream for Ohio Record Breakers. We have 30 men, women and teens who intend to have their names recorded into Ohio strength history.

Join us June 5th for First Friday: Safety Forces Celebration and check out our Fire Truck Pull. We will have teams racing against the clock to see who is the fastest fire truck pull team. Then, we will switch to our men's and women's solo pull divisions, where contestants will pull the truck alone using a harness and lead rope. Fastest times win and the top 3 in each division will receive an award!
