Now 44, Mindi is not carrying as much muscle as years ago,
but she is looking fantastic and taking care of her team.
Her new show is coming soon. These are new posts but for
the last 4, which go back to about 2015.From her 2015 interview:
Not only am I an IFBB Pro (FITNESS AND WOMEN’S PHYSIQUE), I am a mother of a 22 year old son, Alex,a professional fitness coach/trainer, a wife and business owner of TEAMOBRIEN FITNESS. I live in Ontario, Canada.
I have been a competitive athlete all of my life. (I was competitive all through public school/high school in track and field and competed in gymnastics for over 15 yrs.) My first fitness competition was when I was 22 yrs old and a single mother of a 3.5 yr old son. I wanted to be a positive role model for my son, so that was the drive behind me wanting to compete….living a healthy lifestyle and following through with a plan….start to finish. 18 years later, I am still training hard and competing at the highest level as an IFBB Professional athlete. I have been truly blessed.
After every show I go back to the drawing board. I assess all of my photos from the day of the show and analyze my physique. I use my off-season training to make the necessary improvements to my physique and I don’t sway from my contest weight too much.(7-10lbs) This allows me the opportunity to prepare for a contest a lot faster and a lot easier.
I have a few most memorable moments in my fitness career…..
-Having my entire family attend the 2004 CBBF Fitness & Figure Championships where I earned unanimous first place scores, won the overall title and earned my IFBB Pro Card. This was the first and only competition that my family could attend and having them there to share my dream was a huge, emotional experience.
– On the same level, 6 weeks later I made my pro debut at the SW USA Pro Cup (now known as the Europa Super Show) in Dallas, Texas. My goal was to place in the top 10, but I ended up winning all four rounds, and the overall title. Not only winning the show, I was awarded the Horizon Award (most promising new comer) and I qualified for my first Fitness Olympia! During my first year as an IFBB Fitness Pro, I also received an invite to compete at the Fitness International/Arnold Classic.
-After being forced to retire from fitness due to a severe back injury, I had the opportunity to compete in the Women’s Physique Division. I won the 2014 Toronto Super Show, competed at the First ever Women’s Physique Olympia and the First ever Women’s Physique Arnold Classic. In 2015 I placed 6th at the Olympia…my highest placing to date at one of the most prestigous competitions in the World.
-Winning the 2014 Toronto Pro show in the Women’s Physique Division. Competing in both-first ever Women’s Physique Olympia & Women’s Physique Arnold Classic Placing 6th at the 2014 Olympia.
My focus right now is taking care of my athletes who will be competing at provincials, nationals, and regional level events. It’s a very busy season for our team,(TEAMOBRIEN FITNESS) so I am excited to be part of their journey.
The best advice that I was ever given was “THE ONLY THING HOLDING YOU BACK FROM GETTING WHATEVER YOU DESIRE IS YOURSELF”. I honestly believe that you are what you believe”…”If you say you can, you can and if you say you can’t, you can’t.” Your brain is your most powerful tool…use it!You are not allowed to view links.
