Body Transformation Story

Jess’ Inspiration Journey: A 43 Year Old Body Building Champion

From Busy Mum to Bodybuilding Champion: How Strength Lab Tailored Competition Prep Helped Jess Win 3 First-Place Trophies

At 43 years old, Jess—a devoted mum—set her sights on an extraordinary goal: competing in a bodybuilding show. Balancing her family commitments and fitness ambitions, she turned to Strength Lab for expert guidance to achieve what seemed like an impossible dream.

Not only did Jess compete, but she also won three first-place trophies, showcasing her dedication, discipline, and incredible transformation.

“Competing at 43 as a mum was no small feat, but with Strength Lab’s help, I achieved more than I ever thought possible,” Jess reflects.

Jess’ Strength Lab Journey

Icon for lean and toned, woman with six pack

Stage-Ready Physique & Presence

3 First-Place Trophies

Competing at a professional bodybuilding level requires precision in training, nutrition, and mindset. Jess’s coach at Strength Lab created a program designed to maximize her potential and bring her best physique to the stage.

Tailored Training Program: Focused on building muscle symmetry, definition & posing practice to highlight her physique on stage.

Dialed-In Nutrition: A phased approach to cutting body fat while preserving lean muscle mass, ensuring she reached peak condition for the competition.

Accountability and Support: Weekly check-ins, adjustments, and encouragement to keep Jess on track during the most demanding phases of her prep.

Through their guidance, Jess achieved not just physical transformation but also the confidence to shine on stage.

Balancing Motherhood and Competition

One of the most remarkable aspects of Jess’s journey was her ability to juggle motherhood while training for a bodybuilding show. Early mornings, late-night meal prep, and countless hours in the gym paid off as she stepped onto the stage in the best shape of her life.

“Strength Lab didn’t just give me a program—they understood my challenges as a mum and supported me every step of the way,” Jess shares.

Competition Day: A Triple Crown Victory

When the big day arrived, Jess stunned the judges with her lean, defined physique, poise, and stage presence. Her hard work culminated in three first-place trophies, a testament to her dedication and Strength Lab’s expertise.

“Winning wasn’t just about the trophies—it was about proving to myself that I could do something extraordinary,” Jess says proudly.

Why Strength Lab Was the Perfect Fit for Jess

Jess credits her success to the personalized support and expert guidance she received at Strength Lab. Their holistic approach to training and nutrition helped her reach her full potential while maintaining balance in her life.

“They aren’t just coaches—they’re mentors who genuinely care about your success,” Jess emphasises.
