Nadia "Storm" Stowers, born March 17, 1992, is an American professional Strongwoman and one of the sport's most distinguished athletes. She is a three-time World's Strongest Woman winner and holds multiple world records in the U82kg class. Nadia lives in California, USA, where she works as a gym manager and personal trainer at Big Speed and Strength.
She is known for her incredible static strength, particularly in events like deadlifts and overhead presses. Although smaller than many of her competitors, she possesses immense strength and determination, summed up by her own words: "I may be the smallest, but we've all seen what an ant can do!"

Nadia had never engaged in any sports before discovering Strongwoman. Initially, she trained primarily to lose weight without specific goals or direction. Everything changed when she participated in a Spartan Race with some friends from the gym. There she met Jacob Finnerty, an experienced Strongman athlete and coach, who asked her, "What are you strong for?" The question sparked something within Nadia as she realized she had no answer.
Jacob invited her to a Strongman competition, where she experienced the sport firsthand. Nadia was immediately captivated by the strength, passion, and camaraderie among the competitors, instantly knowing this was something she wanted to pursue herself. Under Jacob's guidance, she quickly progressed from beginner to world elite.
Her competitive career started at the highest level, debuting at World's Strongest Woman in 2019. Despite limited competition opportunities during the pandemic, Nadia secured the title America's Strongest Woman in 2021, followed shortly after by winning World's Strongest Woman U82kg at the Official Strongman Games in Daytona Beach, Florida. She continued breaking world records in multiple events, including log press, block press, axle press, and axle deadlift.
Nadia continues pushing her limits, with a clear goal: "To become legendary."

"I first chose Nordic Training Gear because I love being the athlete in blue! It went very well with my Storm aesthetic. I especially love the neoprene shorts because they fit snug and when I roll them up I see more of that eye catching blue. While everyone else blends together wearing the same color I feel like it stands out and I love being different. I continue to love Nordic Training Gear because it is literally a one stop shop for every strongman gear need even down to the very niche items such as tacky remover - that just happens to smell like magic. Great products, sweet people, and stands out from the crowd!"
