Cali DeArmas was a competitive gymnast for 8 years at Orlando Metro Gymnastics, in Orlando, Florida.

Cali was selected to compete at the American Pole Fitness Championship in NYC and National Aerial Pole Art in LA, in their Professional Divisions. In 2013, she competed again at The Florida Pole Fitness Championship, where she won “Most Artistic” in the Professional Division. After a 2 year recovery from a back injury, Cali returned to competitive pole in 2015 at the PSO’s Southern Pole Championship, taking 3rd place in the Professional Division, and winning a spot to represent the southern region at the PSO’s US Nationals in LA. She also was awarded the “Brian Friedman Choreography Cup” for her piece at the SPC 2015.
