IPA History

where we came from

Hans Krisna’s passion for the world of powerlifting has been demonstrated by establishing the first powerlifting gym in Indonesia in 2015 called STRONGHOLDZ BARBELL CLUB.

In addition, Hans also provides various powerlifting gym equipment as a way to popularize the sport throughout Indonesia. From there, Hans began to develop the powerlifting community, but it was momentarily halted due to the pandemic.

After the pandemic, Hans took the initiative to reignite the spirit of powerlifting enthusiasts by organizing the Magnus Iron Game as a powerlifting competition organizer, and the culmination came in 2023 when the Indonesia Powerlifting Association was founded to become a platform for powerlifting enthusiasts.”
