Training background and Biologic Labs…

 I have been training in gyms for about 7 years but only started lifting weights about 4 years ago; I enjoyed it but knew I wasn't getting the best results I could be achieving.

I decided to take it to the next level and get some proper guidance. After the first consultation and session at Biologic Labs I realised I had found something incredible and unique, it went against all the other 'main-stream' stuff out there about diets and training.

I had complete trust in their system; they were professionals who held weight lifting records and bodybuilding titles; they practiced what they preached – trained, ate, lived like athletes. I did everything they told me to do; precisely what to eat and what to lift, and it worked.

I gained strength, changed my body through loosing body-fat and gaining muscle. Best of all, not one minute of cardio! I had found something I truly enjoyed.

2 years after I first came to Biologic Labs, Damon Hayhow asked me if I would like to become a Coach. This was totally unexpected, exciting, and life-changing! I became certified with ASCA, ISSN, and Recomp, while gaining invaluable training and coaching skills first-hand from Damon.

Competing…

The prospect of competing was in the back of mind for about a year before deciding, but I had specific strength and body composition goals I wanted to reach first. I decided to compete in the IFBB Queensland Championships 2011; I was up for the challenge and ready to push myself to a whole new level, physically and mentally.

The guys at Biologic supported me all the way through, and helped me with the diet and measurements. I was fortunate to be in one of the best places for all the preparation and support I could ever ask for.

Getting up on stage is what scared me the most about competing, but it turned out that part was the easiest. The most challenging part was the journey; emotional and mental. My posing coach Jo Rogers said it would be the most difficult thing I will ever do, and wow she was right!

But contest day was such a buzz, I was so thrilled to place in the top 3 and as hard as the journey was, I'm happy I accomplished my goal. I learned a lot along the way and think it's given me some valuable knowledge and insight that will help me in my job.

2012…

This year I have new strength and body composition goals I want to achieve. Most importantly, this year the focus is on my job, and building my client-base, helping others get into the best shape of their lives through intelligent training and nutrition.
