  • Wickham, Sandra
    I started weight training in the off season for track and field and immediately fell in love with building my body. In university I earned my degree in English and Drama, while also becoming certified as an aerobic instructor and personal trainer. I worked in our university gym, and I looked up to women like Cory Everson and Anja Schriner. Someone at the gym told me I should enter a fitness competition, but I hadn't really seen or heard of them before. After university I went to live in Whistler, BC and spent much of my time working in a gym, working out and snowboarding. I thought about entering a provincial competition, but just didn't have the support and guidance that I needed. I went backpacking overseas to New Zealand and Australia, and stayed in Brisbane, training at a gym there. The owner of the gym suggested I do a competition. He said, there's a competition in 5 weeks, if you start training right now, you could do it. So I did! And I loved it! I placed second, losing by only one point to a local! When I returned to Canada, I just had to keep with it, so I entered the Gators Island Classic and won! I really have not stopped since! The girls keep getting better, the competitions keep growing, and now I am helping other girls get into the sport. When I started, there wasn't really anyone you could turn to for help and advice because the sport was so new. Now there are many veterans out there getting more girls involved every day. I plan to keep competing, and improving, and learning as much as I can!
