Kurtis McLellan - Male Fitness Model Kurtis first competed with the WBFF in 2014 and stepping on stage ended up changing his life! He became a Hitch Fit Transformation Trainer and was the judges choice for a feature at the Kansas City Posing Clinic. Where are you from, what category are you competing in, and what do you do for a living? I’m from a small town south of Kansas City called Drexel Missouri. I’ll be competing in both male fitness model and muscle model categories. I’m a Hitch Fit transformation trainer! What three words would you use to describe yourself? Passionate, ambitious, persevering. What is the most excting part of competing with the WBFF? The opportunities presented and the relationships that are established with amazing people brought together through the organization. What is the greatest obstacle you have face on your fitness journey? Overcoming my own self doubt. I’ve struggled with believing in myself and really believing that I can achieve my goals. What or who has inspired you to compete? My inspiration to compete comes from an internal drive to go after something that challenges me. What is your favorite body part to train? Legs! I love pushing lots of weight with squats and leg press and love seeing how hot I can make them burn during extensions and lunges! What are the top 3 songs on your ipod that keep you motivated? My favorite artist is Eminem! The top three songs on my playlist are “Legacy,” “Rap God” and “‘Till I Collapse” all by Eminem! What is your advice to someone who wants to get in amazing shape and compete? To develop a belief so strong and solid that nothing can stop you from achieving your goals. It’s too hard to follow through with it if you cant mentally see it and believe in achieving it. Who would you like to thank that has been an integral part of your fitness journey? My wife Tasha for all the support, it’s very rare to find someone who loves and supports you unconditionally and I’m lucky enough to have her! I would like to thank my mom Lisa and younger brothers Garrett, Jake and Wyatt for their belief and support. And I’d like to thank my entire Hitch Fit family! You all have helped me grow so much since joining this team! Lastly thanks to all my clients who keep me inspired and give value to what I do!
