Ms. Namita Nayyar: You are a hard-training girl with a passion for the sport. You used to be a wrestler in high school and won a provincial championship. You competed in the figure class, but when you made the switch to bikini in 2009, you won the very first contest. You then have been a fitness model and a fitness and bikini competitor.Tell us about your journey that took you to the the world of fitness and as a winner in fitness competitions?

Ms. Leigh Brandt: As you said, I started wrestling in high school because my two older brother were doing it and they would practice there moves on me… So naturally I had to fight or flight …lol and training with them gave me the advantage when competing against other girls in high school matches.

Following high school, I followed my brother to the gym and began weight training. This is when I saw a girls I knew who were training and competing in figure competitions and being competitive I found out who they were training with and approached their trainer about training me for a competition also. This Trainer named Dean would later become my husband of five year from now, but that’s another story:)

Ms. Namita Nayyar: How your experience and background of early years as a wrestler, has helped you in your present profession of being a Fitness Model, Fitness Trainer and fitness competitor?

Ms. Leigh Brandt: Wrestling teaches you about the importance of discipline and work ethic, which would become very useful with sticking to my contest prep diet and the daily training and work ethic. It taught me that it was also very important with the lifestyle for maintaining a lean body for fitness modelling and bikini competitions.
