Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

KYLA DICKERSON- Fit Model Pro
Q: What's your advice for someone on the road to pro?
Don't give up. Seek and apply judge feedback with a thick skin, stay compliant with coaching, and master posing with confidence so you walk on stage like you belong and believe you deserve to win.
KYLA DICKERSON- Fit Model Pro
Q: What's your best advice for someone who has never competed but wants to start?
Get a coach and start posing immediately; begin the work now and don't assume you can fit everything into 12 weeks. Pick a show but stay flexible because individual prep timelines vary, and let the body respond before locking in a specific date.
EMILY CHANEL- Fit Model
Q: What does the Fit Model division mean for the sport and for you personally?
The division offers a unique path to grow the sport, connect globally, and show athletes beyond the stage. It aligns with her goals of mentoring and promoting broader athletic development while maintaining natural training and discipline.
EMILY CHANEL- Fit Model
Q: How does being a mom influence your approach to bodybuilding?
Her role as a mother provides a foundation of routine and consistency, instilling patience and long-term thinking. It shapes her values, prioritizes her children's well-being, and reinforces the importance of balance, setting an example for perseverance and self-care.
KAMILIA WOOLSEY; Self-Doubt's Silver Lining, Making Your Kids Proud, Home Cleaning in St.George, Consistent Effort
Q: What is your best advice for someone who's never competed before but wants to, as well as your best advice for someone on their road to pro.
Consistency is at the top of the list, along with educating yourself on what it entails, being patient, and knowing it takes time to achieve your goals.
