Today, I speak with IFBB Pro
Kimberly Gier, a registered nurse, trainer, and baker! She fell in
love with competing after her husband convinced her to give it a
try and turned pro after 14 shows! At her first Pro show, she had
to compete on a severely sprained ankle. Despite her injury she
made the decision to push through and worked with her doctor to
make a plan to still train and compete.
Kimberly talks about how the last 18 months have been a whirlwind
for her with moving, getting married, switching coaches, having a
revision of her breast augmentations, getting a new job, starting
her own business, her husband having an accident, all while she was
competing to turn Pro. Because she switched coaches right before
getting married, she followed her intuition with food on her
wedding day and her mini honeymoon. Kimberly firmly believes in
appreciating big moments in life because there will always be
another show but not another wedding day.
All throughout her competitive career, Kimberly has prioritized her
relationship with her husband. Even through preps, she
has managed to still go on date nights and do different activities
with her husband. He doesn’t compete but is very involved with
fitness. Competing has helped Kimberly find self-confidence and
love herself for the first time. Overtime, her reasons for
competing have changed, especially after switching coaches. She
credits her coach, Casey, with helloing her shift her mindset.
Kimberly shares so much about having a positive mindset and
balancing life with competing. Don’t miss her interview!
