Strengthtoberfest 2023

Personal trainer and long-time powerlifter, Jake Henderson, sees numbers – those of pounds and reps – as a foundation for not only physical strength but also as a source for mental health benefits. On October 28, 2023, along with Carolina Barbell Club, a social club of powerlifters who train and compete together, and Brit’s Brothers Gym, he’s hosting Strengthtoberfest, a fundraiser with proceeds that will go this year to Mental Health America of Greenville County. Visit our Mental Health Stories page to read our interview with Jake and learn more about his philosophy on lifting weights along with spirits and why mental health matters to him.
