Garage Gym Competition Full Details

Today’s newsletter is all about the GGC. I’ve been behind the scenes cooking here for the better part of the past 3 months, locking down sponsors, updating the website, and getting everything squared away.

I’ve got a few more tricks up my sleeve to reveal, but this is about 98% of it.

HOW DO I PARTICIPATE IN THE 2025 SPRING GARAGE GYM COMPETITION?

During the week of May 10th to May 18th, 2025

1. Perform a 1 rep max Squat, Bench, and Deadlift

2. Record those lifts

3. Upload to Social Media and use #25SpringGGC

4. Complete the Submission Form (available the week of the competition)

Following the above will successfully enter you into the competition. No registration fees, no tickets, no gimmicks. Just liftin, lovin, and laughin… or something like that.

Sponsors and Prizes

We’ve got 38 sponsors for the year, with over $21k in prizes up for grabs in each event.

Over 80 prizes are available in the 2025 Spring Garage Gym Competition, including 14 Barbells, $3500 in Gift Cards, 13 Cable Attachments, 2 Custom Belts, 4 Machines, Multiple Prize Packs, Shirts, Banners, Strongman Equipment, Storage, Rack Attachments, Recovery Devices, and more!

And it all goes out in our Open Drawing. You participate, you get a ticket, and you have an equal shot of winning no matter what you lift! Even kids qualify!

FYI - I’m finishing this page still, should be done this week.

NEW FOR THE 2025 GARAGE GYM COMPETITION - LIVE STREAMS!

We are bringing back our Live Stream events, but doing it a little different in 2025. 

We will have 1 hour Live Streams every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday between May 12th and June 6th.

 Live Streams will include Co-Hosts, Coaching Feedback, Awards Ceremonies, LIVE Prize Announcements, and more fun and insights.

These will be available on multiple platforms, including right here on the GGC website. So no matter where you catch your GGC fix, we got you!

If you are interested in being part of the Live Stream, let me know!

Host A Local Meet

Got a group of local lifters, buddies, family, or neighbors? Get them to your place and we’ll help you have the BEST time you’ve ever had lifting weights… guaranteed!

Non Profits

We have donated over $8k to Special Olympics since 2018, and we are back to cross that $10k mark in the Spring. Will you help? All you have to do is lift, and we’ll handle the rest.

What To Expect

Kicking off on May 10th, you’ll see hundreds of lifters across the globe put forward their best 1 Rep Max Squat, Bench, and Deadlift. These lifts will let them join the ranks of the 5,000+ athletes that have competed in the GGC so far… and get them a shot at all of our prizes. Submissions will come in through YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and Reddit… from first timers and repeat competitors.

We’ll spend the next several weeks handing out awards, prizes, and sharing results before we deload, hit up HomeGymCon, and then come back ready to rock for our next event… the 2025 Fall Garage Gym Competition (more on that in July).

One Last Thing…

Now that this is MOSTLY wrapped up, I’ll be back to a little more regular schedule for content. Articles, videos, etc. I’ve got a list of Community Updates to drop in the next newsletter, we’ve got AMAs on the way, and I’ve got some cool new updates for the gym to share.

Stay tuned! - Joe
