Becoming your own champion with Femsport Tami Newman has a competitive nature, but mostly, she’s competing against herself. Her third year as a Femsport participant—all she wants is to beat last year’s time. Her first year she placed 13th, her second year Tami placed sixth and now her sights are quietly set on breaking into the top five. As part of the Fit By Design Team, with Sabrina Sinclair who is also the official Femsport Trainer at the helm, Tami competed at the Women’s Strength and Fitness Challenge, which was held on Saturday, May 28 at No Limits Fitness at 905 8th Street. Tami came in third place in the Open Division, while she and her teammates won first place for Open Team. Tami also won a $2000 bursary to become a Certified Sports Nutritionist. All in all, Tami was absolutely thrilled with the results. The day was action packed, participants completing a variety of challenges, including an exhaustive Tami obstacle course Newman (that includes and the Fit an agility by Design Team. ladder, pole

team boasts 16 athletes in this year’s event. Tami loves the personal challenges that come with training but relishes in the comradely of her team. She refers to the environment as “supportive”, describing how team members cheer each other on. Tami works to find the balance to take the process seriously but not too seriously: “we’re here to have fun and work as a team”. All in all, the training and completion of Femsport provides a sense of accomplishment that, she says with a laugh, makes her feel like a “complete badass”. The Femsport competition is also about overcoming personal boundaries and fears, and finding the best version of yourself. Tami says of the experience, that it’s important to “just don’t stop, just keep trying…become your own champion!” Tami’s passion for Femsport makes one want to try their hand - continued on page 2
