I have been working with for quite some time. Her journey has been from weight loss to body recomp to changing divisions to switching from figure to bikini. All the while she has stayed focused, driven and positive - even in the face of adversity. She has a can do spirit. Although we didn’t “place” where we would have liked - I always prefer to focus on the me vs me mentally. Especially as we age. Competition is fierce in the NPC these days. We know this. It can be daunting at times - 📌comparison IS the thief of Joy….. do not allow anything to steal the JOY in YOUR journey. Scroll through these photos to see the work this woman has put in. We are still growing and improving the outside. But the , , & goal hustling characteristics of this woman are what the real prizes are. I am proud of you Cyndi! We are not done yet! .

Sydney is one of those people that most people think look amazing all the time.
There are a lot of people like that in the fitness industry. It is one thing to drastically transform physically and for people to SEE that, and APPLAUD that - but it is another thing all together for an inner, more emotional transformation to take place. Not so visible, not quite as captivating to the audience. Less unsolicitated support.
I think many of you can feel where I am coming from.
We do not necessarily go into any one thing just to get accolades, atta boys or trophies, but they are nice - are they not?

This leads me to the athlete that looks the part - to the untrained eye, yet has inner struggles, whether they are health or emotional, -
Even though they and I as a coach know they can improve, many do not think they NEED to. It can be exhausting to try to explain.
A lot of people put down people that have higher standards because they personally know they can’t set theirs up that high. This is an unfortunate part of the human condition. It is very HARD to improve on what is already close to perfection. But digging deep, raising our personal bar, and moving over and around life’s obstacles - physically AND mentally - WILL make magic.
Sydney did that. She deals with PCOS and as a college athlete that had severely restricted calories and a high level of expectation for performance - our program created triggers. We worked through fears of the unknown, dealt with a lot of flair ups of inflammation and shift work in the hospital. Our plan required constant communication and the ability to pivot, and think outside the box. Both Sydney and myself allowed open compromise with things she knows works for her and things I know work from experience- that were new concepts for her. It takes a team, and village, it is not MY plan for Sydney it is literally OUR plan for Sydney. I am both honored, grateful and proud to be able to coach an athlete like Sydney.

My goal for this post is for you as the reader, to see the effort that goes into the different athletes you see on stage. From the weight loss transformation that changes a persons entire identity to an athlete that has to dig deeper than they ever thought possible….. BOTH learn to see a side of themselves that they quite possibly did not know existed. For me - this is why I do this. It is not just for the placements my clients are awarded on stage it is for the literal POWER they find in themselves along the way.

This post almost doesn’t need words. But …. It really speaks volumes to the work ethic and determination of this beautiful lady. Over a year ago she saw across the room in a restaurant…. Alecia approached her, asking about her physique & admiring her hard work! Keneese gave her my information- and the rest is history. Alecia came to us for inspiration but ended up inspiring a whole tribe! We are not finished yet - but this moment here …. Was to stop and smell the roses - to truly see the beauty that broke through. You are a champion Alecia. Anyone that has gone through a transformative journey can relate to the obstacles. Each one made you stronger. You persevered. You did NOT give up. You discovered your untapped potential AND - found true JOY in your journey! We are all so proud of you! 💫

! This crew made me proud!!!!!! Thank you for supporting each other! For staying till the end! For capturing moments of each other on stage! These things are just as important as any trophy you win! My heart is full! ❤️

Shout out to my male client. I can’t tag him but I need to show you! This man is dedicated and follows the plan! I am so proud. It takes some sacrifices and alot of discipline but it will happen!

I cried today when she practiced her individual. Who cares what happens next. This is what’s real right now fam. . Follow her . She inspires me everyday.

Ok. Who heard the cheering today from the Motiv8nu Studio! I LOVE the support you show for each other!!! ❤️❤️❤️
