Ms. Griselle Castillo- Body building Champion
“I really worked hard. My coach, Clayton Grinage, I mean, we trained so hard. I think people in the gym saw how hard we worked. It came with the nutrition. I haven’t had a soda in maybe three years or a drink of alcoholic beverages in three years. I eat very clean and up until I would say about eight weeks before I was training two times a day, was really hard intense training. There was times when I literally fell down and I said, “Coach, please stop!” -and he’s like, “No! Champions are made, not born”, and I was like “You know, that’s right”. So then I got back up and I kept going. So, honestly, it’s really rewarding because I put in a lot of work tonight”
The winners of the competition participate in regional and international competitions.
