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.
