About
Maggie Maggie was born in Hamilton, Ontario, a city west of Toronto, and lived in Ontario all her life. Maggie loves traveling and dreams of visiting different countries, but there is no home like Canada for her! Maggie has a post secondary education and works in the healthcare industry. She is consistently trying to improve herself, so she is also working on her personal training certificate. She enjoys helping others achieve their goals regarding their body and self esteem. As a child, Maggie was quite hyper-active, and her poor mom would have to scrape her off the ceiling each night before bed. Unfortunately, attempts to enroll her in different sports/activities to channel her high energy were futile because she was loyal to Barbie. But Maggie's sister ultimately convinced her to join a synchronized swimming team, and Maggie spent most of her elementary school years training in the pool. As Maggie entered high school, her focus (as with most teenage girls) changed from Barbie to Boys…so the best way to be noticed was with cheerleading! Throughout high school, Maggie ran track, and skied. In high school, she was introduced to the weight room during physical education class. She can clearly remember all the girls being very impressed by the chest fly machine as soon as the teacher told the class it would make their chests bigger. Needless to say, there was a line up of thirteen year old girls trying to use that particular piece of equipment. As Maggie reached her twenties, she became determined to experience everything she had missed. She avidly snowboarded in the winter and practiced yoga regularly. She also flirted with ballet, belly dancing, gymnastics, kayaking, recreational volleyball, and soccer. Although Maggie dabbled in weight training for many years, she didn't really develop a passion for lifting until she met her husband. Her husband taught her almost everything she knows about effective training, and helped Maggie transform her body to what it is today. Shortly after Maggie began training, she became interested in fitness competitions and modeling. She attended as many shows as possible and became an avid reader of almost every fitness magazine in print. Maggie secretly wished that she could be one of the beautiful girls on stage and/or in the magazines. (The editors of discovergirls.com would like to point out that Maggie's wish has come true.) Finally, after four years in the gym, Maggie felt that it was time to give up the chocolate and get ready to compete. She knew that she needed to take her training to another level, so sheI decided to hire a personal trainer and focus more on her weak points. Maggie managed to add quite a bit of muscle and sculpt her physique. During the first year, she competed in the fitness model category due to her lack of formal gymnastics training…but you never know where she'll end up in a few years. Always postitive and forward looking, Maggie says "I adamantly refuse to be someone that looks back and says, if only I competed."
