TESTIMONIAL

After having my first baby in 2024, I was determined to return to the competition platform stronger than ever. Before pregnancy, I was a highly competitive CrossFit and Olympic weightlifting athlete, having competed at both Masters Nationals and Senior Nationals in 2023. Postpartum, I knew I needed the right support to get back there. About three months after giving birth, I reached out to Coach Carly Fuhrer at Black Iron Nutrition and shared my goals of becoming a competitive athlete again. From the very beginning, Carly truly listened. She supported me through every high and low — from body changes and mindset shifts to cutting weight in a healthy and sustainable way. We started just above 140 lbs, and Carly guided me down to 129.8 lbs to make weight for competition. I stepped back onto the platform in October, going 6/6 in my first meet back. Then, in April, I competed at Masters Nationals, went 6/6 again, totaled 169kg, and officially qualified for my second Senior Nationals as a 58kg lifter. I truly cannot thank Carly and the BIN team enough for helping me rebuild not just my body, but my confidence and competitive edge. I’m back, I’m stronger than ever, and I’m just getting started.
