About

Hi! I am Erika. I started a powerlifting brand in 2020 during the COVID pandemic called Good Lift Apparel. I was also co-owner of a powerlifting gym in Youngstown, Ohio. Over the next few years I put a ton of energy into the brand and gym as well as my own training. I felt as though I was constantly battling injuries and developed a terrible relationship with the sport. In 2022 I sold the gym and the branding as well as stopped powerlifting. Over the next years I worked on myself, my body, and my health. In the back of my mind I always missed powerlifting and I missed the brand I put so much love and effort in. Fast forward to 2026 and here I am starting over with the brand hoping that people still hold some love for the vision I had. I will be competing (at a much lower level and for fun) again this April and I am so excited to get back on the platform. If you made it this far, thank you. Remember: Be nice. Squat Heavy. Stand for something.
