About Us
“To do a common thing uncommonly well.” - H. J. Heinz
NAWA Athletics was built on a simple belief: strength is about more than physical ability. It is about resilience, discipline, character, and the commitment to become better every day.
The name Nawa is inspired by the Filipino word awa, meaning compassion, care, and empathy. With the addition of "Na," the name represents a call to action: to lead with strength while never losing sight of humanity. It is a reminder that true strength is measured not only by what we achieve, but by how we uplift those around us.
What began as a personal journey has grown into a community united by shared values. NAWA Athletics is rooted in heritage, but it is built for everyone. You do not need to come from the same background, speak the same language, or share the same story to belong here.
If you believe in hard work, personal growth, integrity, and supporting others along the way, you are already part of the family.
We are athletes, parents, dreamers, builders, and leaders. We come from different places, but we move forward together with purpose.
Welcome to Nawa Athletics.
JOIN OUR FAMILY
“I never had that one standout talent. What I had was a collection of skills I became good enough at to keep moving forward. Somehow, those experiences turned into one hell of a story I'll one day tell my grandchildren..” - Alan Alberto; Co-Founder
Strength is earned. Family is chosen.
A place where strangers become family.
ABOUT THE FOUNDERS
It all started with a night meal after a rigorous workout. This was the usual. It was six guys with different goals, approach, and personality but we had one thing in common: improving ourselves everyday.
NAWA Athletics was born.
