I am Olivia Ingledue, a 23-year old personal trainer, nutrition coach, and fitness enthusiast from small town Iowa! I have been involved in fitness since high school; however, I didn't start taking it seriously until I was 20. At the time I was going to college for accounting. I was struggling to accept the career path I'd chosen and was wildly unhappy in my own skin- so I quit school and started exercising. I never actually gained the freshmen 15, but my body composition had changed drastically so my ultimately goal was to lose weight and "get skinny." I got skinny because I did excessive amounts of cardio, but I still wasn't happy with my body- I didn't have the muscle definition I had been hoping for. So that's when I found weight training and after that it felt like everything fell into place. In the the fall of 2017 I started my business, Liv Fit LLC, and that following summer I passed my CPT (certified personal trainer) exam! Over the year of 2018, I competed in four bodybuilding shows. I won my pro card at my second show, made my pro debut six days later at my third show and won, and finally I placed third at the IPE World Championships in November! It was one heck of year, but made 2019 a struggle. For the first several months of 2019 I struggled with body image issues and binge eating. Since recovering I have been focusing on maintaining a balance between it all.
