Competition season is here ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Prep coaching spots now open for athletes ready to step on stage.

If youโ€™re serious about competing, you need more than motivation.
You need structure, strategy, and a coach who understands the process โ€” because she lives it.

This is for athletes who want:
โ€ข Individualised training & nutrition
โ€ข Stage-ready conditioning
โ€ข Peak week strategy
โ€ข Posing guidance
โ€ข Weekly check-ins and precise adjustments
โ€ข Coaching backed by real competitive experience

No guesswork.
No generic plans.
No excuses dressed up as mindset.

Just standards, discipline, and results.

Prep spots are limited for a reason โ€” quality coaching requires individual attention.

โญ๏ธ Feeling Blessed & Grateful โญ๏ธ

What an unforgettable experience at the PCA Universe in Hull, UK a few weeks ago

Iโ€™m so proud to have placed 2nd in the Master Bikini Division and beyond honoured to receive an invitation to represent South Africa at the PCA World Championships in Wales later this year! ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐ŸŒ

I was extremely happy with the conditioning I brought to the stage and truly appreciate that the judges could see the improvements Iโ€™ve made since Worlds. Knowing that my hard work, consistency, and dedication are paying off means the world to me ๐Ÿค— 

Each show is a new chapter in this journey, and Iโ€™m committed to growing and improving with every step. Iโ€™m already focused on bringing an even better package to my next show! ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿผ

Itโ€™s officially GAME ON as I now prep for PCA Battle of the Titans on 13 September. Letโ€™s goooo!

To my amazing support team, family, and friendsโ€”thank you for believing in me and keeping me grounded. The best is still to come! โค๏ธ

๐Ÿ† PCA World Bikini Master Championโ€™24๐Ÿ†

Iโ€™m beyond thrilled to announce that Iโ€™ve been crowned the PCA World Bikini Master Championโ€™24! ๐ŸŽ‰

โ€œDiscipline is the bridge between dreams and reality.โ€

This journey has been about so much more than a trophyโ€”itโ€™s a testament to believing in yourself, staying consistent, and showing others that itโ€™s never too late to chase your dreams. This oneโ€™s for all the moms, dreamers, and go-getters out there!

But this is only the beginningโ€ฆ Next stop: PCA Universe, May 2025! ๐ŸŒโœจ

A heartfelt thank you post to everyone who supported me through this journey is coming soonโ€”stay tuned, because none of this would have been possible without you all ๐Ÿ™

My biggest gym distraction? My nails. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’…๐Ÿผ

And before anyone asksโ€ฆ YES, I actually weight train with these.

People always ask me how I manage to train with long nails, so here are my 3 go-toโ€™s for surviving the gym with long nails:

1. Grip smart, not stupid ๐Ÿ˜‚
I use the right grip for the exercise and Iโ€™m careful not to put unnecessary pressure on the tips of my nails. Especially when grabbing heavy dumbbells.

2. Look after your natural nails
These are actually my natural nails. No extensions, no tips โ€” just good nail care and keeping them strong.

3. Accept that your nails are coming to the gym with you. ๐Ÿ˜‚
Iโ€™m not giving up my nails just because I lift heavy. We can have both. Pretty nails AND heavy weights.

And honestly, I have to give credit where itโ€™s dueโ€ฆ

@the_nail_bar_ct keep my natural nails looking like this while I put them through the absolute wringer at the gym. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Long nails. Heavy weights. No excuses. ๐Ÿ’…๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

Ostrich meat is naturally lean & protein-rich, making it a great option for anyone looking to get more protein into their diet while managing their fat intake. And yes, you can actually enjoy your food while working towards your goals.

One thing Iโ€™ve learned through years of prepping: consistency doesnโ€™t mean eating boring food. It means finding foods that fit your goals and making them work for your lifestyle.

A little unboxing of whatโ€™s keeping my meal prep interesting lately:

๐Ÿฅฉ Ostrich mince โ€“ perfect for switching things up and making easy, flavourful meals.

๐Ÿฅฉ Ostrich steak โ€“ because eating for your goals doesnโ€™t mean every meal has to feel like a punishment.

๐Ÿฒ Ostrich goulash โ€“ for those days when you want something warm, hearty and a little different from the usual meal prep routine.

Between training, clients, kids and getting ready for the stage, convenience matters. Having quality protein ready to go makes life a little easier. โค๏ธ

Now to get this order organised before my family starts eyeing out the steak. ๐Ÿคฃ

Just a little check-in posing in one of my favourite Magic Bikinisโœจ๐Ÿ’Ž

A good check-in bikini should do more than just look prettyโ€ฆ it needs to let you SEE the physique ๐Ÿ‘€

When youโ€™re deep in prep, every little line, angle and change matters โ€” so having a bikini that stays where itโ€™s supposed to while you pose is a BIG win ๐Ÿ˜‚

And letโ€™s be honestโ€ฆ if Iโ€™m going to stand in a bikini and stare at myself from every possible angle, it may as well be a pretty one ๐Ÿ˜‚

This one is colourful, sparkly, flattering and actually stays put โ€” because the last thing I need during prep is to be fighting with my bikini while trying to check my physique. ๐Ÿ˜‚

9 weeks out from my @pca_south_africa Pro Debut and slowly putting all the pieces together.

Physique โœ”๏ธ
Posing โœ”๏ธ
Bikini โœ”๏ธ
Sparkle โœ”๏ธ
Trying not to overthink everything โœ”๏ธโ€ฆ working on that one. ๐Ÿ˜‚

๐Ÿ“ธ 5 things I did to get ready for this shootโ€ฆ

1. I did NOT suddenly go on a crazy diet.
The internet loves a โ€œdrop 5kg in 4 daysโ€ plan. ๐Ÿ˜‚
No thank you. I stuck to my normal nutrition and let the work Iโ€™d already put in do the talking.

2. I picked outfits that made me feel HOT.
Because if Iโ€™m uncomfortable in what Iโ€™m wearing, itโ€™s going to show in the photos.

And by โ€œpicked outfitsโ€โ€ฆ I mean I borrowed @janiedewit7 whole cupboard. ๐Ÿ˜‚

3. I practised my posing.
Because looking natural while simultaneously holding your abs, flexing your legs, positioning your arms AND remembering what to do with your face is apparently a skill. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Good posing makes a HUGE difference โ€” just like it does on stage.

4. I got a pump โ€” but didnโ€™t try to destroy myself.
The goal was to look full and bring the muscles to life, not walk into the studio unable to lift my arms. ๐Ÿ˜‚

5. I decided to have FUN.
Probably the most important one!
I wasnโ€™t there trying to create the โ€œperfectโ€ photo. I wanted to play around, try different looks, be a little cheeky and let @mds_fitness_imagery do what he does best.

And clearlyโ€ฆ the chaise lounge brought out my inner Bond villain. ๐Ÿ˜‚

โœจ These heels deserve their own momentโ€ฆ

I wore these beauties for my last show, and of course theyโ€™re coming back for my @pca_south_africa Pro Debut. ๐Ÿ’Ž

When you find competition heels that youโ€™re comfortable posing and walking in and they sparkle like thisโ€ฆ you stick with them. ๐Ÿ˜‚

These are the @magicbikinis Heels Dazzle Princess Bling from Magic Bikinis โ€” 13cm heel, 3cm platform and completely covered in that gorgeous AB crystal sparkle. โœจ 

And because I know Iโ€™m going to get askedโ€ฆ

Yes, you can buy them too! ๐Ÿ‘ โœจ

๐Ÿ‘‰ Magic Heels Dazzle Princess Bling โ€” shop hereโ ๏ฟผ
https://magicbikinis.com/shop/bodybuilding-competition-essentials/stage-heels/magic-heels-dazzle-princess-ab-bling-perfect-for-npc-pca-ibff/

Nowโ€ฆ if you think these are sparkly, just wait until you see what the Magic Bikinis team has created for my Pro debut bikini. ๐Ÿ‘€

The countdown is ON. ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

Okayโ€ฆ this flavour might be dangerous. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฉท

Mallow Cereal Cream of Rice from @go.getsum โ€” because apparently weโ€™ve decided prep food can taste like childhood cereal now. ๐Ÿ˜‚

I already eat cream of rice pretty much every morning, so having different flavours to rotate through makes such a difference when youโ€™re eating the same foods day after day.

And this one?

Very much giving โ€œI shouldnโ€™t be enjoying this this much.โ€ ๐Ÿ˜‚

Itโ€™s the kind of breakfast that makes sticking to your plan feel a little less like prep and a little more like youโ€™re actually enjoying your food.

Mallow Cereal has officially earned a spot in the rotation. ๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿฅฃ

15 servings per bag, and itโ€™s currently R109 instead of R129 โ€” so if youโ€™re a fellow cream-of-rice addict, this is definitely one to try. ๐Ÿฉท

If you told me a few years ago that Iโ€™d get excited about picking up 18kg of ostrich meat, I probably wouldโ€™ve laughed. ๐Ÿ˜‚

But when youโ€™re prepping for a @pca_south_africa , feeding a family, coaching clients, and trying to keep your life somewhat organised, you learn to appreciate the little thingsโ€ฆ like a freezer full of meal prep. ๐Ÿคฃ

Ostrich has become one of my go-to protein sources during prep. Itโ€™s lean, versatile, easy to portion, and makes hitting those protein targets a whole lot easier without adding unnecessary fats to my meals.

And letโ€™s be honest, when youโ€™re eating similar meals day in and day out, having a protein source that you actually enjoy makes a difference. Because prep is already hard enough without forcing down food you hate. ๐Ÿ˜‚

So, todayโ€™s mission: 18kg picked up, meals to prep, and another step closer to the stage. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

A little behind-the-scenes of what prep really looks like. Not always glamorous, but definitely worth it. โค๏ธ

Thank you, @capekaroointernational for keeping my prep stocked! ๐Ÿฅฉ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

@janellevanstaden_01 TRANSFORMATION ๐Ÿ”ฅ

This is what happens when you stop looking for a quick fix and actually commit to the process.

Janelle started with a goal to change her body.

Somewhere along the way, that goal became much bigger โ€” she decided to step on a bodybuilding stage.

And now, looking at these two photos side by sideโ€ฆ WOW. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

From her first transformation photo to preparing for the @nabbasouthafrica SA Championships on 3 October โ€” the change is incredible.

As her coach, my job isnโ€™t to do the work for her. Itโ€™s to create the plan, guide her through it, adjust when needed and make sure we keep moving in the right direction.

She does the work. I guide the process.

And weโ€™re not done yet. ๐Ÿ‘€

Next stop: NABBA SA Championships. ๐Ÿ†

11 weeks outโ€ฆ and yes, I still practise posing. ๐Ÿ˜‚

One thing I tell my bikini girls all the time:

You donโ€™t magically become good at posing on show day.

You practise when you feel awkward.
You practise when your transitions feel clumsy.
You practise when you donโ€™t know what to do with your hands.
You practise until holding those poses stops feeling like a workout of its own. ๐Ÿ˜‚

And honestly? Iโ€™m still practising too.

Because as a coach, I donโ€™t believe in asking my athletes to do something Iโ€™m not willing to do myself.

Iโ€™m currently 11 weeks out from my next @pca_south_africa Pro Show, so the posing, conditioning and little details are all getting more attention now.

And yesโ€ฆ Iโ€™m doing it in my @magicbikinis gear because if youโ€™re going to practise, you might as well feel bloody good doing it. โœจ

Prep isnโ€™t just about getting lean.
Itโ€™s about learning how to present the physique youโ€™ve worked so damn hard to build.

If youโ€™re competing and need help with prep + posing + stage presentation, thatโ€™s exactly what I coach. ๐Ÿ–ค

DM me โ€œPREPโ€ or โ€œPOSINGโ€ and letโ€™s talk
