Introducing the athletes representing Team Aita this year at USAPL Raw Nationals 💪🏽🔥

Our crew is a group of dedicated athletes representing gyms across California, united by strength, community, and the love of powerlifting.

This year along with individuals competing, we are excited to enter the masters ladies team division with Team Aita. This is more than competition — it’s about showing what consistency, hard work, and support can build together. From different gyms and coaches, we come together as one team with one goal: to represent with pride and leave it all on the platform.

We’re excited for what’s ahead and hope to be wearing some medals around our necks in June . Posts with times and livestream links will be coming as we approach meet day.
Watch us show up and show out! 💥
