Meet our NSPC Coach Ruby-lee 🌻

Ruby-lee has been a valued member of the NSPC coaching team for nearly five years. After starting as a fitness trainee, she has recently completed her Bachelor of Exercise Science. Her favourite part of her degree was studying anatomy and learning the body inside out.

What a weekend at NSPC!

Despite being right in the middle of our gym relocation, we were proud to host the Powerlifting Australia National Championships - Central Division.

This competition was one of four qualifying championship events being held across Australia, with all results contributing to the overall 2026 Powerlifting Australia National Championships standings.

A huge congratulations to the 22 athletes who took to the platform and delivered some outstanding performances.

🏆 Best Male Lifter - Mahmoud Aldoumani
🏆 Best Female Lifter - Natasha Kaminski
🏆 Best Bench Press - Gantugs Ganjuur

Events like this are only possible because of the people behind the scenes. Thank you to all of our volunteers, referees, spotters, and the NSPC community who generously gave their time and energy to make the competition a success.
