Meet our dedicated member, April Lavoie, who rejoined FFC in April 2024 after initially joining two years ago. Motivated by a background in gymnastics and a passion for weightlifting, April started her fitness journey in 2015, leading to her first bodybuilding competition. Her initial goal was to stay active and de-stress, which FFC helped her achieve. A significant milestone was placing 3rd in a bodybuilding competition in December 2023, after extensive preparation. Despite facing challenges like body dysmorphia, she overcame them with mindset work and support from a mentor. Her current routine includes weightlifting and daily walks, staying motivated by reflecting on fitness’s positive impact. Her advice for newcomers: stay consistent, create sustainable plans, and focus on both physical and mental health for long-term success. Fitness has transformed her life, boosting confidence and overall well-being.
