STRONG Women to Watch
SHARELLE GRANT
Online Coach, Nurse and WBFF Professional Athlete sharellegrant.com // @sharellegrant
After years spent on the running track and a few marathons thrown in for good measure, Sharelle Grant was left with less body fat, but also an array overuse injuries. Forced to take some time off from pounding the pavement, she discovered her local gym and, despite a slow start, developed a passion for weight training and the mental, physical and aesthetic benefits it provided. Her highly disciplined nature naturally led her into the realm of physique competitions. Now a WBFF Pro, she has competed in 10 shows both internationally and in Australia, with unprecedented results.
MY DEFINITION OF STRONG
Having the courage to be yourself and own who you are, unapologetically. Today it’s easier than ever to compare your weakness to other women’s strengths, but this means you reject your own uniqueness. When I think of being strong, I think of having the discipline to always show up and the strength to remain authentic.
