2024 Whale Festival Strongman Show: Our Biggest and Best Yet!

What an incredible event! The 2024 Whale Festival Strongman Show at Jambo Core Fitness, located at PROactive Fitness Hermanus, was our most exciting and largest competition ever! A huge crowd cheered on 26 powerful athletes as they pushed their limits and showcased their raw strength.

Some of the most remarkable highlights included a jaw-dropping 450kg deadlift and a World Record set by one of our incredible female athletes!

Winners:

• Zandile from Zwelihle dominated the Women's Division
• Mark de Wet took the top spot in the Men's Masters with speed and strength
• Precious Jambo was a runaway winner in the Men's Novice category
• Jaco Schoonwinkel (World’s Strongest Man competitor) was untouchable in the Men's Open category

Roll on 2025!

A huge THANK YOU to all the businesses and individuals who made this event possible:

• Emmanuel Jambo for hosting at Jambo Core Fitness
• DK Connect for sponsoring shirts and medals
• Procom Printers Hermanus for the printing
• Raw Muscle for donating lifting straps and knee wraps

A special shoutout to Johan and Michelle Kruger, whose brilliant planning makes this event a reality year after year. Without their vision and the bravery of the athletes, this spectacle of strength wouldn't be possible.

Here's to another year of growing stronger together!
