Alicia’s Competitions
Alicia competed in her first National Physique Committee (NPC) Bodybuilding competition at age 50 in the Figure Category. Alicia felt if she could demonstrate that despite her age (50), having brought 3 children into the world, as well as being diagnosed with acute Scoliosis, she would inspire and motivate her clients to achieve their goals as well.
By competing in a challenging category, to prove her point, she felt it was important to not just compete in her age group, which was the Masters’ age 45 and up.
Alicia signed up to compete in all categories and age groups! Alicia competed in Novice Figure (all ages), Open Figure (all ages), Masters (35 and up), Masters (40 and up), and Masters (45 and up). As a result, Alicia took home five 1st place trophies including 1st place in the Overall Masters category, thereby earning National Qualified Figure Competitor status and earning an invitation to compete in an NPC Pro Figure Competition to receive her Pro Card.
Alicia believes age is just a number, it doesn’t define you or limit you unless you believe it does. To succeed, does require dedication, consistency, and patience, but she would be by your side every step of the way to keep you on track.
