A community focused event
Powered by Optimum Nutrition and supported by the UAE Bodybuilding Federation, the Power Meet is a two-day powerlifting competition where men and woman from all experience levels and backgrounds gather to test their strength in the squat, benchpress and deadlift.
Heading for its 8th edition, this has truly become a community driven event with 80 competitors and more than 100 spectators who come together to support and cheer on their friends and family. Whether you lift 25kg or 225kg, whether it is your first time competing or you came for the gold medal, everyone gets the same cheer and support from the crowd.
Please refer to our event calendar for upcoming Power Meet events dates and details.
