Had the best day competing at the @pca_official East Anglia show. I started this prep with the goal of improving upon my stage presentation after competing at the pca first timers last year. Not only did I achieve that but both me and my partner @garyjh9 won our classes 🏆
There are no words that would do justice to credit what @garyjh9 has done for me. He’s stood by me from the very beginning when I first met him in Atlas gym and we have trained and prepped together ever since. He’s the most passionate and dedicated man I know and he’s the biggest inspiration to me and my biggest support 💛
Massive thank you to @atlasgymspartans - we met back in 2020 and has never given up and a constant inspiration.
@theposingpro thank you for the posing sessions which developed my confidence massively when it came to my stage presentation

Such a journey..
Looking back to realise just how far I’ve come..
May 2023 - PCA First Timers.
Years of dieting and training hard at @atlasgymspartans consistently which resulted in me getting on stage for the very first time.
September 2020 - certain situations led me to want to take on something completely out of my comfort zone and I set myself the aim to compete in the future but I was unaware of just how much my weight I was putting on (particularly in my lower body).
December 2018 - training style focused on more body weight exercises as I did not want to develop my upper body due to the stereotypical views held by those closest to me.
My physique has completely changed and I now have a healthy attitude towards food. I enjoy the discipline of my diet, which in turn makes me appreciate food so much more. My journey hasn’t made me complacent - only hungry to keep pushing harder and continue learning. Under two weeks to keep pushing @prepareforglory_spartan ⚔️

Words cannot describe this feeling from competing in my first wellness show yesterday. The most rewarding experience ever with the most important people there supporting me on the day which meant the world to me.
Gary - the man who’s been by my side through everything over the years. He saw something in me that I didn’t even know was there and will be forever grateful to him for caring and training with my everyday. I don’t know how we’ve both done these past months of prep together but can now say it was all worth it.
@atlasgymspartans - the knowledge and care this man has for anyone that is prepared to listen is undeniable and I feel so lucky to be a part of Atlas because since walking in that gym, I have transformed in many ways I never could have imagined thanks to his guidance. Thank you Jimmy, @staciemills_3 and @young_atlas_spartan for being there for me throughout this process and making yesterday as special as it was 💙
