About Us

Made by an athlete, for athletes

Hi, I'm Naeem Ali, founder of Iron Fortress Apparel.

I started my powerlifting journey in 2023 with a dream. Since then I've competed internationally numerous times, I hold all the national records in my weight class, and I was named Best Under-18 Lifter in 2025 and again in 2026.

Along the way I went through a massive weight loss journey, and through many illnesses. Through all of it, I remained standing. That is what Iron Fortress means to me: a way to connect, and a way to push yourself past your limits.

I started this brand with a vision: to bring high-quality clothing to Trinidad & Tobago without it having to be expensive. Iron Fortress is for everyone, accessible and affordable, and built to hold up through heavy squats, long sessions and everyday life.
