Today I speak with IFBB Pro Aimee Jacobs from Wellington, New Zealand, who has been competing since July 2018. She competed in her first IFBB show in March 2019, taking first place in both Open and novice. She competed in Nationals that year with a new coach Kurt Dell, and took first place in her classes but missed out on the overall win. She earned her Pro Card at Nationals 2020 with an overall win. She mad her Pro debut in December 2021, placing 4th. Aimee works in IT and is working toward earning her personal training certificate. 

 

Aimee is so open with her story. She shares about her experience being sexually abused as a child and how she is overcoming the long-term trauma that caused.
