Today I speak with IFBB Pro Jordan Brannon. She graduated from University of South Florida in 2014 with her Bachelors degree in Exercise Science. There she met her husband Drew. After graduation, they opened up their own gym called Pinellas Ultimate Strength House in Largo, Florida. Drew and Jordan were introduced to the bodybuilding world through a mutual friend. Jordan prepped for her first show in 2019 and made her debut at THE KLASH. From there, she was hooked. She just turned Pro at the 2022 Junior USA. Recently, Jordan has become a prep and lifestyle coach for Fit Body Fusion. Both of my parents have substance abuse issues and mental health disorders. Both have addiction issues and her mother has schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Until Jordan found competing, her life revolved around them and their issues. Competing forced her to take care of herself and really set that boundary to allow her freedom to live her own life in the most healthy way possible. Jordan has a remarkable story of growth and grit.
