FROM SPIKES TO HEELS

A Mums Journey from spikes to heels

Hi I'm DEB 40 years young mother of two cheeky boys - my journey begins back in 2000 after the birth of my second child. I had always had a passion for running so I decided to join the Queensland Masters Athletics Club. Click here to read more about this amazing journey.

It was a great way to meet new pople and to keep fit. From 2002-2007 I have held the QLD State Tiltes for the 100m, 200m, 400m and 800m sprints; have broken 9 records and have had an absoulte ball doing it!

Being the person that I am I love a challenge so I decided to swithc from my running spikes to a pair of heels and compete in the NABBA/WFF Figure Championships held in May this year (2007)... from then I was hooked.

I joined Industry as I heard that these guys were the best to train with on the Gold Coast and I haven't looked back since. Mark & Leah have welcomed me into their gym - they have a great team. I truly appreciate their constant support, guidance,encouragement and friendship.

Mark & Leah helped me to get into fantastic shape for the 2007 QLD NABBA/WFF Figure Titles.....It was a fantastic experience and to be part of the 'Industry Angels' was loads of fun. That was the name Mark & Leah gave the group of fantastic ladies (members)that they got ready for the show.

I am now back training for the 2008 QLD NABBA/WFF figure titles and I can't wait. I highly recommend Mark & Leah and the team at Industry to anyone that wants to train in a friendly, supportive atmsophere.

Here I am out on Stage in the NABBA/WFF Masters Figure Championships Titles.
