Charlene Borley

Fitness Model, Bikini Competitor, Nutritionist, Sport Therapist

Charlene Borley is an international fitness model, bikini athlete, and sports nutritionist from England. During her career in competitive bodybuilding, Charlene has won a number of shows. Including the UKBFF TFM Championships, and MP Pro Elite contest.

While Charlene was always an active individual, it wasn’t until she gave birth to her daughter when she picked up the weights for the first time. Wanting to regain her fit and lean physique, Charlene saw weightlifting as the perfect way of achieving her post-birth goal.

After months of dieting and training in the gym, Charlene achieved her fitness goals, catching the ‘lifting’ bug in the process. Over the years, she furthered her passion for the fitness lifestyle to become an international cover model and multi-champion bodybuilder – growing her influence more than she’d ever expected.

“Just wondering why there’s so much hate in the world? Can we not just love & support each other…”

As Charlene says; “No matter what exercise you are doing always think about your form and posture at all times. It will make a massive difference.”
