WHO
COMPETED?

ERIN KELLY
My name is Erin and I just did my first show,
BCABBA's Kelowna Classic
(Western Canadians)
About me
Fitness saved my life. Years of battling depression
and anxiety/panic disorder had left me hopeless
for any sort of 'normal' life, as leaving my own
home was nearly impossible for me. It was just
about two years ago when things got really bad
and my panic attacks spiraled out of control and
the insomnia kicked in. Not knowing what to do at
3 am while my kids slept I decided to distract myself by exercising. Exercising distracted my mind
and eased my panic and over a matter of weeks
started making a huge difference in my everyday
life. Fast forward two years and here I am, a full
time Certified Personal Trainer at Anytime Fitness,
Nutrition Coach and just competed in my first
show! I plan to compete again in November at the
Popeye's Fall Classic. Not all transformations are
physical. Daily exercise and proper nutrition can
transform your mental health too!
