IronTraks delivered their 'Strong for 2023' program on Friday, offering women of all ages the chance to participate in a range of physically demanding activities with lunch and prizes - all in the name of female empowerment.

IronTraks, co-founded by former Dunghutti woman Tracy 'Tracker' Thompson and Kirra Muggeridge have been devoting most of their free time into the IronTraks program. A program which aims to bring women together and take them our of their comfort zone to enjoy new actiites and achieve feats of strength they may have never thought possible.

Friday was no different as IronTraks delivered yet again with a factastic program for the women.

Delivering the sessions was Kim Prince, SWA Master Strongwoman of the year 2022 and Cardiac Physiologist, and Katrina Robertson, World Super Heavyweight Powerlifting Champion and Psychologist.

The activities on the day included tyre flipping, deadlifting and sleigh pulling (simulated truck pulling).

Participant Milly told National Indigenous Times her "favourite activity was the simulated truck pulls (sled) because of the weather."

Co-founder Kirra Muggeridge noted program like this are vital in assisting young women who may be at a disadvantage or have self esteem issues.

"I'm happy with how the day has turned out, we've got a variety of ages from six to 50 plus with a variety of activities," she said.

"It's about seeing the young people coming through, showing them what it's like to be in a gym and those who are struggling with their self esteem, myself included.

"So we're just trying to promote being confident, especially in a gym space," Muggeridge said.

Strongwoman Kim Prince believes women can often underestimate themselves and lack the confidence needed to excel in a physically demanding space.

"Women tend to underestimate themsevles and lack a lot of that confidence so were trying to help them gain that confidence. It's definitley a passion of mine.

"We had a bit of rain which put a damper on some things we wanted to do but overall we had a fabulour day. The kids got really involved and loved everything we put to them.

"They all gave it a go! And they achieved some goals and PB's," Prince said.

Psychologist and Powerlifter Katrina Robertson also sees a great benefit in overcoming physical obstabcles to help achieve small personal goals as a way to grow ones confidence.

"Most people that came today would never have flipped a tyre or deadlifted 100kg's," Robertson said.

"Women underestimate their strength. So when you see them pop out 100kgs and they've never deadlifted before, it shows young women who struggle with self esteem issues that you can give it a go,

"Strength is more than just lifting something up. It's about having a go and creating a community like IronTraks and Fit Education have done here." she concluded.
