History of the Strongman Classic
As with many things, what began as a small idea has grown
into a big deal.
Fitness Inc.’s Strongman Classic, held annually during the
Spirit of the Rockies Festival every June, started in 2004
with a fleeting idea and a lot of heart… then in 2005 came
the help of two strong men.
Grant McReynolds and Cory Gillespie were competitors in
other Strongman events across the country and
internationally. They responded to the need for official
judges for Cranbrook’s event and in doing so, shared their
knowledge.
Today, the Strongman Classic is a cornerstone of the Spirit
of the Rockies Festival, with competitors and spectators
alike enjoying the day while taking part in an exciting show.
Major sponsors like Selkirk Beverages, the local distributor
of Pepsi, Cranbrook Toyota, Resolute Strength Wear, Home
Hardware, Green Gear Cannabis, Smitty’s Cranbrook, Fab-
Rite Services, ArchDesign Cabinetry Inc., All Seasons
Motorsports, St. Eugene Golf Resort & Casino, Supplement
World, Sea To Field Building, Initial Designs, Optimistic
Enterprises, and Salvador Ready Mix are huge contributors
to the event.”
