The Canberra Raiders has announced an upgraded and extended partnership with ACT-based fitness brand Club Lime, which will see them feature on the club’s NRL jersey as a major partner in 2025 and 2026.

The Raiders and Club Lime have been in partnership since 2003, with Club Lime growing during this period from its first gym in Canberra, to 134 locations across the ACT, NSW, Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia, and the Northern Territory.

The upgraded partnership will see the Club Lime logo feature on the Canberra Raiders jersey at the bottom of the back position below number, with the Raiders proudly endorsing Club Lime as their official Gym Partner.

Advising that the upgraded partnership would allow Club Lime to continue to grow their national exposure, Canberra Raiders Chief Operating Officer, Jason Mathie stated “we’ve been proudly associated with Club Lime since 2003 with players using their facilities in Canberra and several of their interstate locations during away fixtures.

“The Raiders have a long and proud association with Club Lime and have been with them from their humble beginnings, to see them grow into one of the most recognised gym brands in Australia.

“Not only is the Club Lime brand local and iconic, but it resonates with the values of quality and professionalism which we subscribe to also. We’re especially excited to see the Club Lime branding featured in our round one match in Las Vegas to kick off the NRL Season.”

Club Lime’s Chief Operating Officer, Sean Hodges added "Club Lime and the Canberra Raiders have shared a strong partnership since 2003, built on a mutual commitment to community and fitness. With this latest upgrade, our partnership is stronger than ever. As the official gym partner and a major sponsor, we’re proud to support both the team and the wider community."
