Transforming Lives One Body at a Time |
SAMAIYAH COUNCIL
IFBB PHYSIQUE PRO AND CERTIFIED OWNER/OPERATORI was born in Pennsylvania and raised in Alaska. I grew up playing sports, so I've always been involved in health & fitness. My older brother was an incredible athlete so naturally I wanted to be just like him and maybe one day better than him! |
THE JOURNEY BEGINS HEREAs I entered High school weighing 135-140lbs I continued playing sports and tried out for the varsity basketball team. Despite being very athletic and well conditioned for my weight and size I did not make the team. The following summer I began training hard to improve my basketball skills because I was determined to make the varsity team next year. During that summer I was in an unfortunate automobile accident that left me bed ridden for two months. My hip and pelvis were shattered and the doctors said that I may never run let alone play basketball again. After being bed ridden for most of the summer, I was finally released on crutches to physical therapy weighing 120lbs; losing both muscle mass and body fat while being bed ridden. |
THE JOURNEY CONTINUESAs I returned to school I began attending basketball practice as a spectator, longing to be healed enough to participate. The school year ended without me playing in a single game. My desire to play on varsity out weighed my desire to have a "normal" teenagers summer vacation. I got a job, hired a personal trainer and hit the gym 6-7 days a week. At this point my weight had jumped up to 143 lbs and 30% body fat. I worked on basketball drills every morning at 5 AM, met my trainer 3x week to lift and played full court hoops at night. My trainer provided me with a meal plan to help educate me on proper eating habits. After the summer I had dropped 15 lbs and 7% body fat. My journey of health and fitness beyond sports had begun. |
