Melinda Wade INBA Bikini champion Interview with Fred Liberatore emcee

Tell us a bit about yourself 

I’ve been in the fitness industry for 4 years now but as my full time job for the past 2 years. The thing that made me get into the fitness industry was the passion I had for empowering woman! Growing up in challenging circumstances really ignited a fire in my heart for helping women in any way I could & having such a love for fitness & I coupled it both together, to help women from all walks of life not on be strong women but true women of strength

who inspires you 

My biggest inspiration is Christine Caine, the founder of the A21 Campaign. Her strength,willpower & commitment to her cause is something I really admire & look up to. A typical day in my life I’d like to thank the two leading men in my life, God & my amazing husband for always being by my side. And holding me up.

How was the Dieting 

The dieting was probably one of the hardest things I’ve done! Coming from a mixed cultural background, food is our life! So to diet for the comp was an absolute killer. I was actually going to throw in the towel 2 weeks out, But I refocused on the importance of my goal, set my mind & went for it! Training was easy as my husband & I own a training facility I was in the gym all day. And I always love smashing out a good training session.

What’s next

Next for me  Fred will be to focus on expanding my company, Melinda Wade Boot Camps. And make even more of a positive impact in the lives of the women in my community & beyond.
