Leigh Brandt (IFBB Bikini Pro) Interview
Q:: How did you get started in fitness industry?
LB: I started in 2007 doing figure and then switched to bikini in 2009. I’ve alway been quite active, but when school finished I started working a secretary job and really wanted something to work towards so I decided to do a figure competition.
Q:: You model and compete, which do you you like better?
LB: Hmmm thats a tough one! I really enjoy doing both, but i would have to say modeling! I feel more comfortable behind the camera then on stage! hehe
Q:: What keeps you motivated?
LB: Seeing the changes in myself!
Q:: You also do personal training with Body Body by Brandt. What do you believe is the difference between training a competitor and a normal person who wants to get into shape?
LB: Competitors are WAY more high maintenance!! LOL! I love my team, but its so true.
Q:: What kind of services you offer with Body By Brandt?
LB: Everything! one on one, group, contest prep, & online training! we do meal plans, training
and supplement programs for every fitness level.
Q:: What do you do on your spare time when you’re not training or modeling?
LB: Spare time? What’s that again? Hehe. I’ll usually spend time with my husband, family and friends. Watch movies. Go shopping those kind of things. If I get time, I love to scrapbook, but its been a while.
Q:: What the secret to staying in such great shape?
LB: You have to make it a lifestyle. Lean and clean eats and treats!
Q:: What’s your favorite body part to train?
LB: I use to say my shoulders and now I love glutes!!!
What body part you get the most compliments from?
LB: My legs and my quads.
Q:: You compete with the IFBB, why did you decide to compete with the IFBB rather than other organizations?
LB: Its all I knew when i started. Its been a great organization to be apart of.
Q:: When is our next big competition?
LB: No plans just yet, I really need to rest my body I’ve been going since 2007. The past few years I’ve done multiple shows. I need to make some improvements, so i think a good offseason is going to be the key for me. Stay tuned!
Q:: What would you do if you weren’t a fitness personality and competitor?
LB: I’ve been asked this before and i get stumped every time! I dont know life with fitness. On or off the stage. I think I would still have found my way into this lifestyle.
Q:: What’s next for Leigh Brandt?
A little R&R! I’m heading to the Olympia in September to work the MUTANT booth for my sponsor. So make sure you
all come by and say hi!
