Biography
Brigitte Goudz was born in Pennsylvania. She struggled with low-self esteem in her teens. Her shyness and negative self-image turned her into an introvert who was afraid to speak up and express herself among her peers.
However, Brigitte’s personality began changing after she got out of high school and started going to the gym. In a short time, she developed a liking for lifting weight and training.
Unlike most girls that join a gym for the first time, Brigitte Goudz skipped the cardio section and headed straight to the weight room. The change she saw in her physique through resistance training made her realize that it is an extremely underutilized aspect of women’s fitness routines.
Not only did lifting weights help Goudz transform her physique, but it also molded her confidence. On being asked about her transformation journey, she said, “This change and the positive self-image I got through bodybuilding motivated me enormously.”
Thanks to her growing self-confidence and improving body image, Brigitte started posting pictures of her chiseled physique on social media.
Over and above her improved confidence and self-image, posting pictures of herself on the internet gave her the opportunity to make a career out of her passion.
Over three years, she started gaining a serious following on Instagram with people appreciating her positive mindset and insane physique. By 22, she became a sponsored athlete and a fitness model.
“Don’t sit on the couch and wait for it. Do new things that scare you. Never become comfortable. Unfollow negative people on social media. Go to bed early and wake up early. Fuel your body with nutritious foods and drink a shit ton of water. Do not gossip and always remain humble.” – Brigitte Goudz
