feature WHITNEY JOHNS MM: HOW DID YOU ENTER THE WORLD OF FITNESS MODELLING? WHITNEY: I used to work small modelling jobs, but then with all my natural muscle tone fitness modeling was just a better fit for me. I hired a photographer to shoot some fitness images and I felt so much more at ease. Much more my style and look. So I went with it and never looked back. MM: WHAT OTHER PURSUITS DO YOU HAVE IN FITNESS? WHITNEY: I am a personal trainer and online coach. I train individuals day-to-day and also have online clients that I create diet and training plans for. I also created my own fitness app “Fit with Whit App.” MM: WHAT IS YOUR MESSAGE TO OTHER WOMEN WHO ARE CONSIDERING A FITNESS LIFESTYLE? WHITNEY: Just like anything, if you really want to make serious changes in your habits and lifestyle, you must first understand your reasons “why” you are doing it. If your motives aren’t clear or strong enough, you won’t stick to anything that’s not second nature for you. So really reflect on whether or not you really want to change – and why. That way, you won’t give up when it feels too challenging and the rest will fall into place from there. 68   MUSCLE MEMORY | APRIL/MAY 2018
