We’re incredibly proud to share that Rebels Weightlifting Club has been named New Club of the Year at the Queensland Weightlifting Association (QWA) Awards, held on Saturday, 17 January.

From October 20–24, 2025, the Australian Weightlifting Federation’s National Masters Championships took place in Canberra as part of the Australian Masters Games — and the Rebels Weightlifting Club proudly made their mark on the national stage.

Our most recent competition was a showcase of hard work, resilience, and community spirit. From outstanding individual performances on the platform to the tireless work of our volunteers behind the scenes, this event highlighted everything that makes the Rebels family so special.

At Rebels Weightlifting Club, learning, lifting, and belonging come together. Ours is a space where everyone is welcome, no matter your background, ability, or goal.

The newly formed Rebels Weightlifting Club at Capalaba is celebrating a major milestone, with two of its members, Bonney Douglas and Laura McLachlan, officially qualifying as State-Level Referees under the Queensland Weightlifting Association.

The Queensland Senior Weightlifting Championships held 8–10 August 2025 at Cougars Weightlifting Club, saw some of the state’s strongest athletes take centre stage. Among the big lifts and even bigger energy, one debut stood out – and not just because it came with a cheer squad of twin toddlers.
