Our Story
Who We Are – Lifting Meets Anime:
Akinci Strength is a community-driven powerlifting gear brand born in Singapore and built for lifters everywhere. We started with a simple belief: we want records to be broken, not our spines. Founded by a passionate powerlifter who transformed his own life through strength training, Akinci Strength was created to cut through the clutter of gimmicks in the fitness world. Instead, we focus on the essential gear that every lifter needs – with a unique twist of anime-inspired fun.
Our Mission – Strength, Safety & Style:
Our mission is to help you lift heavy and lift safely while expressing your individuality. Every product we offer is chosen for its proven functionality and durability – no fads, no fluff. We stand behind this quality: our weightlifting belts are built to last a lifetime (literally – each belt comes with a lifetime warranty).
Whether you’re just starting out or training for your next competition, we provide reliable, competition-approved gear (all our 10mm and 13mm belts are USAPL compliant) so you can train with confidence. And because we believe training should be enjoyable, we infuse a bit of anime culture into our designs to bring a smile to your face even when the lifts get serious. Performance and fun go hand-in-hand here.
What Makes Akinci Strength Different:
At Akinci Strength, we focus on quality over quantity. Rather than overwhelming you with thousands of products, we offer a curated selection of powerlifting essentials that we truly trust – from our elite lever belts to knee sleeves and more. Every item is tested and approved by experienced lifters. Our iconic anime-themed collections set us apart from the usual gym gear crowd.
You won’t find boring belts here; you’ll find gear that celebrates your favorite heroes and storylines, giving you an extra spark of motivation in the gym. This blend of hardcore lifting and pop-culture flair is something you won’t get anywhere else.
Community & Commitment:
When you choose Akinci Strength, you’re joining a family of lifters. We’re more than just a store; we’re your training partner. Our team is here to support you with expert advice, fast service, and a genuine passion for strength sports. We foster a growing community online – join us on Instagram or Discord to share your progress and geek out about lifting (and anime) with like-minded friends. Have a question or need help? We’re on it, because your journey is our journey too.
Empower Your Journey:
From day one, our goal has been to empower lifters to go hard and heavy – safely. We’re proud to provide gear that protects you as you push for that next PR, and inspires you to enjoy every step of the process. Akinci Strength is where serious performance meets creative expression. We invite you to be a part of our story. Equip yourself with our essentials and let’s reach new heights together – your strength, your story, our support.
(By blending our founder’s vision with top-tier quality and a dash of fun, Akinci Strength stands ready to elevate your lifting experience like never before.)
