ATHENA’S ARENA:

The UNLIKELY CHAMPIONS OF STRENGTH

Have you ever been the underdog? Where expectations were low, not because of your potential, but because of a misunderstanding of who you are? Have you ever started something with no idea where it might lead, only to discover that what you’ve built — and, more importantly, why you built it — attracts a community that rallies behind you with unwavering support?

That’s the story of Athena's Arena, the largest and most successful women’s-only Strongman competition, officially sanctioned and brimming with champions. From the echoes of a dusty garage, a fierce determination rises. Nearly a dozen women, champions in their class, have qualified to compete at Nationals.

These champions were forged in the heart of The Sweaty Pig Gym, a space born from a dream to create a better, more inclusive place for women in the sport. Join us as we follow their journey — from the grind of training and personal sacrifices, to their pursuit of a coveted spot on the podium at Strongman Nationals.

Help us bring their story to life. Your support will capture the raw, powerful moments that define their paths and inspire the world.
