Iron Sisters Strength Camp 8

Friday, July 28th to Sunday, July 30th, 2023

Why attend Iron Sisters Strength Camp 8?

Iron Sisters Strength Camp 8 promises to build on the foundation that we first established in our inagural event back in 2014.

There are a growing number of women looking to gain strength – whether it’s the world of powerlifting, weightlifting, crossfit, strongwoman or to make their strength training experience better.

Iron Sisters exists so that you have the opportunity to become the best lifter that you can possibly be. How do we do this?

  • We educate – we focus on the three power lifts: Squat, Bench Press and Deadlift and we provide the technical information and the practical, hands-on opportunity to practice these lifts with the best lifters and coaches in the World.

  • We motivate – we’ve realized that when women are surrounded by a like-minded community as dedicated to the Iron as they are, incredible things happen!

  • We create the utmost environment so that you can do all this and have fun, too! 

"I still can't believe that a world champion lifter coached me yesterday; what an incredible experience."

Iron Sisters Strength Camp Attendee
I met a group of people who were so supportive and so encouraging and so full of knowledge that it gave me the push I needed to pursue lifting more seriously.

Do you want the opportunity to experience Sisterhood in your life?

Then you’ve just gotta attend the Iron Sisters Strength Camp 8

Our Iron Sisters Strength Camp 8 will be our best EVER
It takes place July 28th, 29th and 30th in Hamilton, Ontario!

There’s been a shift in the powerlifting universe. We’re seeing scores of women getting their hands onto barbells and hitting the platform. As a result, not only are women lifting more than ever, but more women are lifting!!!

Iron Sisters Strength Camp has had to adapt to the growing number of women thirsting for knowledge and opportunity to learn more about this thing we call powerlifting. Strength Camp 8 has THREE different ways YOU can be involved. From full participants – including hands-on training and Seminars – to SideLine participants – perfect for coaches to plug in and keep their knowledge growing – and to our Live Stream opportunity, we now have you covered for increasing your powerlifting knowledge!

Strength Camp is for anyone seaking knowledge and insigth into how they can get better – from beginners through to World Champions and record holders, we’ve had them all at Strength Camp.

Due to the hands-on TRAINING EMPHASIS, WE ONLY HAVE ROOM FOR 30 Iron Sisters to participate!  

Our SideLine Stream is for those of you who want to experience all of Strength Camp, except for the hands-on training portions. You will still have the opportunity to observe these coaching sessions. If you are a coach, an injured athlete or a guy, then this stream is for you.

BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE!

We recognized that Squatting, Bench Pressing and Deadlifting are important – which is why we dedicate so much of our Strength Camp time to the big three. However, why stop the learning there? From our signature Coaches Panels to hands on consultations and insights from some of our most trusted health and performance professionals you will experience and learn more in one weekend than you possibly have learned all year! 

And, once again Iron Sisters Strength Camp will be LIVESTREAMED.

Our Out of Town Participants LiveStream lets you join us for Strength Camp from wherever you are in the World!

Your opportunity to stream the Strength Camp is our way of reaching the growing community of lifters around the world! We know you’d rather be here with us, but this is the next best thing!!!

One incredible day of Powerlifting Learning, and three different ways to participate. 

Now all you need to do is register!

Our Iron Sisters Strength Camp 8 Coaches

Rhaea Stinn

3-time IPF Open Powerlifting Champion, 2022 World Games Heavyweight Champion, Multiple CPU Champion, IPF World Record Holder in the Bench Press (in the 72 and 84 kg classes) and Team Canada Member for over 15 years. 

Coach Rhaea Stinn joins Iron Sisters Strength Camp for the sixth time. Rhaea holds the World Record Bench Press  in the Equipped 84 kg category at 228kg.  Rhaea 

Stinn is one of the longest standing and most decorated powerlifters in Canadian history. She is also serving a term on the Athletes’ Committee for The World Games.

Brittany Schlater

Multiple Canadian Champion and 2021’s 84 kg+ IPF World Champion Brittany Schlater joins our Coaching Team for the second time. 

Brittany has been powerlifting for only a short while, and is the epitome of applying learning to her lifting goals. She attended Iron Sisters Strength Camp back in 2017 as a participant, and went on to achieve the highest level of success in our sport just a few short years later. 

We are so glad Brittany is back to share with our community after achieving such success.

Joanna Rieber

Joanna has participated in every Strength Camp since Iron Sisters inception in 2014, both on the coaching floor and during our signature Coaches Panels. 

We are excited that she will bring her expertise to the teaching portion of Strength Camp, partnering with Rhaea Stinn on the Bench Press. 

Holding an impressive 100.5 kg National Classic Bench Press record, Joanna has developed and refined her lifting to produce world class results:  She’s claimed the Canadian Open 52 kg title 5 times and has broken many National records, is A 2-time IPF Masters World Champion and multiple Team Canada member in the classic division at the Open Level.

Vicky Taylor-Hood

Vicky’s first encounter with Iron Sisters was a participant at Strength Camp 2.0 back in 2015. 

Although relatively new in her powerlifting journey at that time, she had already represented Canada at the 2015 IPF Classic World Championships. 

Since then, she’s gown both as athlete and coach, and is always stepping into various leadership roles for both Newfoundland Powerlifting and the CPU. Vicky’s strengths are many, and her enthusiasm and experience is something Iron Sisters is excited to share with you at Strength Camp 8.

 

Danielle (Danii) Clavelle

We’ve watched Danii eagerly and with much appreciation as she’s quietly worked in the background – both as Coach and Athlete – and it’s for good reason she is joining the Iron Sisters Coaching Team in 2023. 

She competes in both classic and equipped divisions which is a rarity in our sport, and recently she took home a silver medal in the Commonwealth Powerlifting Championships in the 76kg Open Category. 

A multiple Team Canada member, provincial referee, meet director and full-time coach, Danii brings a wealth of knowledge, experience and enthusiasm to Strength Camp 8.

 

Frances Manias

Athlete, Coach, Mentor, Entrepreneur, Chief Strength Advocate: Frances has taught, presented and preached within the fields of health, fitness, and wellness for over two decades. She’s represented Team Canada in Bodybuilding and Powerlifting multiple times. 

Through Iron Sisters and her gym Iron Valley Strength & Barbell she continues to preach the good news of lifting and strength for all.
