What an incredible week for Team Aita at the USAPL Raw Masters Nationals! 💪🏽🏆
We are beyond proud of our athletes and everything they accomplished on the national stage. Every member of Team Aita finished in the Top 10 of their division, showcasing the hard work, dedication, and determination that brought us here.
A special congratulations to our three athletes who earned qualification to Worlds! Your performances were truly outstanding, and we can’t wait to see you represent on the international platform.
We are also thrilled to have captured 1st Place in the Female Team Division! This achievement reflects not only the strength of our athletes but also the power of teamwork, support, and a shared commitment to excellence.
Beyond the medals and records, what made this experience so special was the team bonding, encouragement, and camaraderie throughout the week. From warm-ups to final lifts, everyone showed up for one another and embodied what Team Aita is all about.
A huge thank you to our coaching staff for their exceptional guidance, preparation, and support. Great coaching, great athletes, and a great team culture made this an unforgettable experience.
We’re excited to celebrate these accomplishments and look forward to what’s next for Team Aita. The future is bright! ❤️🖤

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! 💥
