Biography

Athletic Childhood

Kirsty was born in Sydney, Australia in 1984. She began dancing at the age of 5, and from this moment onward her life has revolved around sports.

During her high school years, Kirsty started taking part in competitive sports. This included the likes of sprinting and discus throwing – teaching her to remain disciplined, focused, and consistent with her training.

By the age of 16, Kirsty became inspired by the physiques of professional female wrestlers. Because of this, Kirsty wanted to build muscle mass to earn a great physique just like her wrestling idols – this is when she started to take part in professional wrestling alongside dancing.

It was at this point, Kirsty became serious with weight training. From then on, she trained in the gym consistently, quickly reaping the rewards of her intense workouts. Eventually, her dancing career took off when she set up her own business at the age of 18 – allowing her to make a living from something that she loved.

Starting Out Competing

After working hard to build her career as a dance teacher, Kirsty took some time out to travel across Europe. Consequently, her levels of fitness were negatively impacted due to paying little attention to fitness, if any at all.

Soon enough, this caused Kirsty to become unhappy with the way she looked. Her hard work training in the gym had gone to waste. It was at this point, Kirsty realized that travelling had caused her to lose touch with fitness. From then on, Kirsty knew that she had to change her ways.

Appearing in a bodybuilding competition was something that Kirsty had wanted to do for a while, but she never had the time. Ever since this moment, Kirsty made it her mission to become a success on the bodybuilding stage.

It was at this point, Kirsty began training with a personal trainer in order to get back into shape. From then on, she set her sights on becoming a success as a bikini competitor – giving her a reason to keep pushing forward in her life.


 

Life as a Fitness Model

Kirsty began her career as a bikini competitor in 2013. Her first competition was the IFBB NSW Championships 2013, where she finished in 6th place in the bikini novice category. Kirsty was then aware of her potential on the bodybuilding stage. She then used this as motivation for her next competition.

Kirsty continued to train hard with the aim of replicating the success of her last competition. She appeared in the INBA NSW Titles competition in 2013, storming to a 3rd place finish in the bikini novice category. This highlighted that her hard work training in the gym translated into success on the bodybuilding stage.

Kirsty went on to appear in the WBFF Australia Diva Bikini Model competition in May 2015. She finished in second place in the competition – proving her desire, commitment and dedication to consistently improve herself.

Kirsty returned to the same competition the following year in 2016, finishing in 1st place. As a result of her success, she was awarded her WBFF Pro Card. From then on, she was offered the chance to move to the next level in her fitness career.

Helping Others

After reaching her own fitness goals, Kirsty was determined to help others achieve the same level of success. To achieve just that, she became a personal trainer alongside her career as a dance teacher.

“My motivation comes from myself. I have so much that I want to achieve and I am the only one who can make it happen, so I push myself, everyday, visualizing myself achieving my goals, and my determination to accomplish them all is so fierce that I can’t help but feel motivated”.
