At APEX, 54-years-young Rochelle’s second IPL contest, she would land runner up spots in three divisions… Bodybuilding Open, Women’s Athletic Masters 40+, & Evening Gown Masters 40+.

Seeing myself on the cover of INSPIRE Magazine is a surreal experience. It truly shows me that all the efforts and challenges were worthwhile. It brings a big smile to my face and tears to my eyes, proving doubters wrong and turning them into believers. I pushed through injuries and self-doubts, especially when I headed to Arizona in November for the APEX competiton feeling uncertain. But after engaging with my trainers and receiving encouragement, I regained confidence. Being part of the IPL family is an immense honor. A special thanks to my boyfriend, Jeff, for his unwavering support. My trainers, La'net and Teresa, for their dedication. And our team for the love, laughter, tears, and support. This journey wouldn't have been possible without them.
