Teresa Gillian | Official Web Site | IFBB Figure Professional Athlete

Thank you for visiting my website! With so much thanks to give, I am now an IFBB Figure Professional Athlete!

My motto is to live your purpose and stay connected. I feel the most important aspect of a healthy appearance starts on the inside, then works out. But what does Staying Connected mean? I take into perspective the WHOLE Athlete- body, mind, soul, emotion and direction. I believe that when you are connected with yourself and our creator, you are complete. Once the inside person is completely connected, there is peace. When you experience this, life as you know it changes, and it simply works.

If your fitness levels aren’t where you want to be you may want to hire a fitness professional to help guide you through this process. Choose someone who you are comfortable with and trust. This person should be experienced and qualified. Dreams do come true, and goals are set, to be attained. With a combination of proper goal setting, a balanced diet and supplementation, persistency, time and team work, what you envision will be yours. There isn't a magic pill, but there is a magic element: CONSISTANCY. If what you are doing isn't working then you need a change. Personally, some of my most productive seasons of life have paralleled with working with a trainer. Pick me to help get you started. I am an advocate of personal growth inside and outside the gym. As your health improves, you will feel, look, and live a happier life. When you are physically fit, you will be more productive in the office at work or at home with the family. I believe in teaching independence. This is a valuable tool that will help in creating a more confident; successful you no matter what fitness level you are at. I enjoy working with beginners, up to the experienced gym rat or weekend warrior. I would be honored to help get you to your goal.

The four people who have helped me the most along the way are: my Ignacio High School coach/ Power lifting Marine, Rocky Cundiff, of Ignacio Colorado, Dave Fujii, of American Pro Gym, Chaundra Tanji of Articulate Bodies, and my husband, Kyle Gillian. Coach Cundiff was my power lifting and track coach. He thrashed us day after day during practice, after practice, and weird, I liked it. I learned to train hard or go home. Thank you Coach Cundiff. Kyle helped me rehab my overuse injuries from college. He taught me how to realign my body. With his help, I not only avoided an evasive surgery but was able to run again and get into the best shape of my life! Much thanks to Kyle Gillian. Then I wanted to compete. My trainer Dave Fujii taught me everything that I needed to know to make it to the professional ranks. He stressed the importance of staying grounded within the industry, and to never b.s. myself. He believed that I had the genetics for what takes to become a pro. He enforced the importance of staying natural in more ways than one. Thanks Dave and American Pro Gym. Chaundra Tanji, as my current trainer, has helped me time and time again in accomplishing half the battle I had been fighting, the ability to believe in myself. Chaundra is also extremely talented in polishing the final product, from hair, skin, tan and make-up. She has always done a fantastic job helping me with the final touches. Thanks a million to Chaundra Tangi and Articulate Bodies.

I earned my pro card at the 2008 Junior National Championships in Chicago, Illinois. Winning first in my class with a perfect score was unbelievable! This show prep was more internal in many ways. Getting to the place where my heart, body, and total inner self was connected has been the most memorable experience in this sport yet. It was incredible to be in that complete feeling space, and then to be awarded first in my class was the icing on the cake. The prep for this show was a challenge due to the fact that my new trainer lived out of state. But because of this distance, I grew less dependent on others and more dependent in trusting in the Lord. I found peace within myself and for the first time, I experienced a complete connection, inside and out. With all this teamwork, the support of my husband, and the consistency of five years of NPC competition, my dream came true. Now looking back, I am still learning to be patient and diligent in this process of staying connected. My current goals are to maintain total connection while qualifying for the Olympia and becomming a firefighter.
