Fitness Express has once again demonstrated its unwavering commitment to the development of powerlifting in Guyana, throwing its weight behind the upcoming Guyana Amateur Powerlifting Federation (GAPLF) Intermediates and Masters competition.
The event is scheduled for Sunday, May 19, 2025, at the St. Stanislaus College Auditorium in Georgetown.
This continued partnership comes as the GAPLF transitions under new leadership. Paul Meusa took over the presidential reins from Franklin Wilson just two weeks ago.
The Intermediates and Masters competition will mark Meusa’s first assignment at the federation’s helm.
Jamie McDonald, Owner and Manager of Fitness Express, congratulated Meusa on his new role and affirmed his company’s dedication to the sport.
“We were more than happy to maintain our company’s commitment to the development of the sport,” McDonald stated, highlighting Fitness Express’s long-standing support for powerlifting in Guyana since its resurgence under former presidents Peter Green, Ed Caesar, and Gordon Spencer.
McDonald emphasised the tangible impact of their consistent investment. “It’s a tradition for us here at Fitness Express to continually back the progress of the athletes. We are satisfied that our continued investment has seen the sport rise and our athletes become consistent medallists for Guyana. We’d love to see this maintained under your stewardship as we continue to empower the federation.”
Newly elected President Paul Meusa expressed the gratitude of the new executive committee and the athletes for Fitness Express’s crucial backing. He reiterated the federation’s commitment to building upon the sport’s progress and ensuring its continued development.
The Intermediates and Masters competition on Sunday is expected to feature a lineup of seasoned and emerging powerlifters.
The weigh-in for athletes is scheduled to begin at 06:00hrs, with the lifting commencing at 09:00hrs at the St. Stanislaus College Auditorium.
