29 April 2026 2 min read

On April 28, in Vilnius, at the Lemon Gym Europa fitness club, a unique event was held for the first time in Lithuania – the “SIX-PACK BATTLE,” where participants competed for the title of the strongest abs.

Seven participants reached the final – three women and four men. They faced five intense challenges that required not only physical strength but also speed, focus, and endurance. However, the evaluation was not limited to physical performance alone – contestants also earned points for creativity, ingenuity, charisma, and their ability to inspire the audience.

According to one of the judges, Tomas Kizelis, a trainer at Lemon Gym, the most important aspect of the event was not appearance or a defined six-pack. “Here, we evaluated abdominal strength and endurance – what truly matters for functional fitness,” he emphasized.

Winners – Living and Breathing Fitness

After an intense battle, the title of strongest abs was won by Ali Gorkem Okur and Augustė Jociūtė.

For both winners, sport is an inseparable part of daily life. Ali mainly trains using his own body weight – focusing on calisthenics, with strong emphasis on core strength and movement control. According to him, training strengthens not only the body but also mental well-being.

Augustė’s training routine is highly diverse – she combines strength workouts, swimming, and running. She has already tested herself in multiple challenges, from HYROX competitions to powerlifting and swimming championships.
“Sport is not a trend for me. It’s a way to get to know myself and constantly push beyond my limits,” she says.

The winners were delighted not only with their titles but also with substantial prizes: €100 vouchers for Vytautas Mineral SPA, supplement bundles from Mr Biceps, and annual memberships at Lemon Gym.

During the event, both participants and spectators were energized by partners – Vytautas mineral water and Mr Biceps supplements.

A New Training Era: “ABS Zone” Opens

The “SIX-PACK BATTLE” also marked the symbolic opening of a new training space – the “ABS Zone.”

This is the first specialized training zone of its kind in Lithuania, dedicated to abdominal and full core workouts. It features modern equipment by ABS Company, designed to train all key core functions: flexion, lifting, rotation, and stabilization.

According to Tomas Kizelis, a trainer at Lemon Gym, this equipment allows users to target not only the visible “six-pack,” but also deeper core muscles: “A strong core improves posture, reduces strain on the back, and increases overall body stability.”

He also emphasizes the most important rule: abs are strengthened not by the number of repetitions, but by control. Slow, mindful movements and proper muscle engagement are the key to an effective workout.
