R.I.P Aaron Page!

Unfortunately we learned that the situation was far more serious than originally thought. Aaron Page along with his girlfriend Chloe Woodford both contracted COVID-19. While Woodford was able to recover, Page was placed into an induced coma. The strongman competitor who was a reserve for the recent World’s Strongest Man would eventually succumb to the sickness.
Aaron Page was co-owner of The Barbell Division with Daniel Jay. He also had his own YouTube channel.
At only 31 years old, Aaron Page has passed on far too soon. He leaves behind his mother Nina Manchip, his girlfriend Chloe Woodford, and his 12 year old son Leon. Only a few short weeks after his birthday, Leon Page has lost his father to this tragic sickness.
Aaron Page recently made a post commemorating his son’s birthday.
