This week I'm highlighting Latonya Wise (@getfitwithtonya) she's a mother, firefighter, a bomb ass powerlifter.

When did you start your fitness journey or started training?

I’ve been an athlete since I was a kid but I really started lifting and training around 2010. I started powerlifting in 2019.

Favorite module of training?

Powerlifting

What are the most rewarding things you've achieved since your journey?

Becoming stronger everyday and seeing my body composition constantly changing and improving. I have enjoyed competing and meeting lots of amazing people along the way.

What lesson(s) have you learned this past year?

I’ve learned to embrace my body and strength no matter what the number on the scale shows.


How does lift heavy make you feel?

Lifting heavy makes me feel like Wonder Woman. My daughter views me as a superhero and I feel that way when I’m putting up big numbers in the gym or on the platform.
