    Episode 60: this one is an emotional one and one we didn’t foresee.

    We wanted to share an important update with you all. An update we only felt was fair to share not only for the community we have around us both, but to recognise the journey, the growth and the transformation we have experienced over the two years we have committed to this platform. Grace has dedicated her all to the vision we had for this podcast and we wanted to celebrate everything she has contributed and everything she has to look forward to now.

    This is not the end, but a beautiful beginning for everyone involved.

    From the bottom of our hearts, thank you 🤍

    In this episode Jade takes on solo podcast to discuss our top Bikini Olympia predictions for this years Olympia.

  • Ep. 58 - Challenges & Triumphs Of Becoming A Masters Pro, Self Coaching & Mindset
    Oct 10 2024

    Got some feedback? Drop us a message!

    Episode 58 is live and we welcome UK IFBB Bikini Pro and Posing Coach, Leonie West to the mic. Leonie is someone we have followed for some time and her time and experience in the sport offered a unique perspective we couldn’t wait to get into.

    Leonie turned pro, not once but twice in two respective masters classes and as an older athlete, we wanted to hear her insight and experience having had the opportunity to observe the sport through her own career. She is also extremely transparent and grounded, both in relation to her own experience and how she views the sport and it was incredibly refreshing to hear her speak about her own journey.

    In this episode we discuss:

    - Leonie’s introduction to competitive bodybuilding and what motivated her to remain in the sport for such a long time;
    - Her experiences being coached vs self coaching; what obstacles does she face if any in both settings and what she has learned;
    - Competing as a masters athlete; considerations in relation to achieving her own version of the bikini criteria, hormonal factors, training and muscle maturity and more;
    - The importance of considering the future; what decisions Leonie has made relating to her own competitive journey and why they were important to ensure a long lasting career and long term health;
    - Turning pro; how her vision of herself and competing has changed and what pressures, if any she feels she faces now compared to her amateur career;
    - Future plans;

    And so much more!

    Leonie competes for the sheer love of improving herself, every single time she steps on stage and this was an incredible conversation full of wisdom which will do nothing but add value to the bikini space!

    You can follow Leonie on IG @leonie_west_ifbbpro and enquire to pose with her via @theposingroom . Don’t forget to keep your eyes peeled for her upcoming project too!
