Chloe Brennan is leading the way for the next generation of powerful girls who enjoy weight lifting. Chloe found herself competing in strongwomen competitions (yes, the competitions where they pick up huge rocks!) after being encouraged by the club she was training with- turns out, she was made for it! After winning the Under 73kg class at the Arnold Pro Strongwomen Championship 2022, Chloe has now set her sights on competing not only in Strongwomen competitions but plans to dabble in some Olympic weightlifting in the near future!
We discuss the origins of weightlifting and the historical stigma around resistance training for women that STILL exists today.
We delve into the benefits of resistance training, including improved body composition, improved bone density, increased metabolism and potentially the most underrated benefit being improved mental health.
It was such a pleasure talking with Chloe, she has a huge heart and is keen to work with more groups of people, including those with different needs in order to help them enjoy all the benefits. I can't wait to see what Chloe achieves in the coming years!
