CANADIAN PHYSIQUE ALLIANCE May/June Issue | Page 57

My name is Missy Truscott. I am 30 years old. I was born and raised in Victoria Harbour, Ontario Canada. I started my fitness journey back in 2007. I was 17 years old at the time. My whole life I’ve always been active. It was introduced to me at an early age with gymnastics and cheerleading. When I graduated college I knew I wanted to try something different. I can remember watching Youtube videos of bodybuilding contests in the library at school and friends would ask me if I would ever do it. I would respond with “yeah - maybe one day” and laugh it off, I was a fan! I didn’t know anything about Bodybuilding and Fitness. One day I got the courage to start prepping for a show. I spent 2 years training and preparing for what I thought was just a Bodybuilding show in Mississauga the Mindi O’Brien Mississauga Championships in 2012. It actually turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life to join the world of Bodybuilding and Fitness. The Canadian Physique Alliance is where it all started for me. I ended up winning the Figure and Fitness divisions and the overall in both divisions too at Mindi O’Brien’s show! I went on to compete at the Toronto Pro Supershow Provincials a few months later and won the fitness overall which would lead me to the west coast for the opportunity to win an IFBB Professional Card. I flew to the west coast with my mom and competed for the first time out of Province - I won my IFBB Pro card that August 2012. and dreams! I’ve since moved to Seattle, Washington, USA where I live with my husband Matt, and our three wiener dogs! It’s been an amazing journey the last fews years! 2019 Fitness Olympia I placed 2nd which was a huge accomplishment for me. I then went onto the Arnold Classic Fitness International this year and won! Gaining the title of Ms. Fitness International this has been a dream of mine since I was a young woman in college - I DID IT! I’m super thankful for the opportunity the CPA has given athletes to reach their goals I wouldn't be where I am today without the love and support of my team and husband! Thank you to everyone who believes in me back in Canada!! LOVE, MS. FITNESS INTERNATIONAL MISSY TRUSCOTT JUSTINE MUNRO LOLA MONTEZ MARTINA YABEKOVA MARYAM BAMDAD
