MAI TRAN  CPA AMBASSADOR Since then, Mai has won: a provincial show, Ontario's, and placed 3rd at Nationals last year. She has also competed at the Amateur Olympia where she was the only bikini athlete sponsored by the CPA to represent our Canadian athletes. She has been sponsored by many different supplement companies and has worked for Inside Fitness and Muscle Insider. What began as a little transformation to lose some weight turned into a Mai's fitness journey started in January 2013 when she found a generic online plan that promised if she followed it completely, she would lose weight. After seeing some results, she became more motivated to not only lose weight, but to be in the best shape of her life. Fast forward to September 2013: she hires her first coach to prepare for her first bikini competition with the CPA. Mai competed at the London Regional Show and won her overall title - what a feat for being her first show!   journey to achieving her IFBB Pro Card, having competed in over 8 shows with 2 more this year.  Mai continues to work with her coach from Team T-Rex, to strive for her goals.
