Biography

Early Years

Lindsey Renee grew up in Jacksonville, Florida. As a child, she was always active playing a number of sports such as softball, basketball, volleyball and competitive cheerleading.

Later on in life, moving into her adult years, Lindsey packed up and moved to Miami Florida and pursued her love for fitness by going to the gym and eating clean. Fitness was always a passion for Lindsey.

However, fitness, eating clean and working out was not enough for Lindsey, she “had an itch”. She wanted to take her love for fitness to a whole new level.

 Competing In The NCP

Being competitive by nature, she wanted to push herself further than she’d done before. She set her sights on fitness modeling competitions for the NPC. She hired a trainer and went to work.

“That was all it took, I was hooked! I walked onto the stage and knew my sweat and hard work paid off. I placed 2nd at the Dexter Jackson Classic.”

“I was stoked!” says Lindsey, “The definition and muscle appeared in all the right places. I placed 2nd at the Dexter Jackson in March 2012” she continues.

Lindsey’s Life Now

Lindsey now continues to work harder and come back stronger each year working towards competitions in the IFBB for her Pro card while helping others to live a healthier life as a personal trainer, it’s clear to see by the way Lindsey trains, eats, and talks, she has a lifelong passion for fitness.

“My mom motivates me daily to get up and take full potential of my physical and mental abilities. I’m allowing her to live through me as I continue on this journey. She is the fuel to my fire.”

Idols and Influences

Finding Inspiration

Lindsey’s motivation and will to succeed stems from her mother. Her mother was diagnosed with Leukaemia when she was only 10 years old.

Fighting for 18 years and never giving up, even with two bone marrow transplants and two hip replacements and a shoulder replacement along with a lung transplant. This motivated Lindsey to work hard towards her goals and never to waste a second.

Her mother defied everyone by living 10 years beyond what the doctors predicted. Her fight to get up and take one step further than the next day showed her daughter how to keep moving forward and never give up, no matter what the circumstances.

“During her recovery, she taught my younger brother and I the importance of health. My mother touched more lives than I can count. The doctors scheduled her physical therapy sessions around patients who needed motivation to keep going.”
