Today, I speak with IFBB Pro Bryanna Barcelo, a 29-year-old who earned her IFBB Pro status at USAs 2019, her third National show! She has been competing since 2015 and since 2016 in the NPC. She works full time as a registered nurse in a critical care unit and also coaches competition and lifestyle clients for Team Fflex. She took almost two years off from competing and is now just starting to hit the Pro stage.

 

Bryanna tells us about her joint to the stage and then how she eventually began working towards her Pro card. She talks about the difference in stress levels between competing as an amateur and a Pro. We hear her story of how she had to shift her mindset to put in the work and focus to actually go for her pro card.

 

On her journey to Pro, Bryanna decided to start working with Team Flex , after being self-coached. She interviewed many coaches before deciding on Ryan. She loves that he places health and longevity as the top priorities for his athletes. She talks about her transition to actually being a coach for Team Fflex. She takes her willingness to help people in her career as a nurse and a coach.

Bryanna has such a positive outlook! Don’t miss her interview!
