Meet ANNA MORRISH
My passion for health and fitness started well before I began tracking calories or identified as a bodybuilder. I’ve been active in the gym since I was 11, playing provincial high-level hockey and rugby, supported by excellent trainers and coaches who encouraged me to be my strongest self from an early age. Post-high school and university, without organized sports, I felt somewhat lost and turned to my local gym to stay active. Around this time, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune illness, which heightened my awareness and appreciation for my health. Feeling uncertain in the gym and recognizing my physical limitations, I decided to join DIYBODY as an athlete. There, I found the structured routine and personalized coaching that reminded me of organized sports. This environment enabled me to transform my physique and enhance all aspects of my life. It boosted my confidence and inspired me to start a social media presence to document my progress, discovering my strength both in the gym and within myself. Later that year, motivated by my own journey, I became a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach to share my passion and inspire others.
Since becoming a personal trainer and nutrition coach, I have competed twice at the national level as a natural athlete, achieving top 5 placements in my classes. Additionally, in 2023, I won overall titles at the regional level in both the Wellness and Figure divisions. The gym is more than a hobby for me; it’s a lifestyle. I enjoy training with intensity as I continue to pursue my bodybuilding aspirations and expand my coaching expertise.
