A great natural federation is born
The most dedicated, spirited, gifted, hardworking and gracious athletes
have walked the NPAA stage and promote this amazing sport of natural
competing in our country…
As the presidents of The Natural Physique and Athletics Association, we
are so proud of what our federation stands for and the amazing community it has become since 2012. We realize that there is more to competing than just training, and having a federation provide a stage. The sport
of bodybuilding is about continual improvement, and as a federation we
hold this truth to the very heart of who we are. We always strive to be
better, do better and provide the best experience for our athletes. The

and inspiring federation. The Natural Physique and Athletics Association
is growing, expanding and learning from those that make up our core,
“the athletes”. We love what we do, and adore this unparalleled natural
platform that now exists for our sport.
