 “Make your goal a reality. It's amazing what's out there for you when you step outside your comfort zone.” —Sherrie Kapach 

Beyond the glitz and glamour lies the grit of competitive bodybuilding. From meticulous meal prep to grueling workouts, contenders must push their bodies to the limit to achieve peak physiques. Hear firsthand what it truly takes to succeed from those who have stood on stage and conquered the competition.

In this episode, Master Coach Tanya turns the tables and interviews her friend, Sherry, about the behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to succeed as a bodybuilder, straight from the champion herself.

Sherry opens up about how she was inspired to start competing after facing kidney failure and multiple surgeries that brought her to death's door. She dives into the grueling process of training and meal prepping for shows and gets real about the challenges of sticking to her plans. Sherry also shares insights into the tight-knit bodybuilding community and how supportive it is, the nature of competition prep, the importance of working with a coach, the time and discipline required for success in bodybuilding, and much more!
