Hey Everyone, I'm Bailey 😊
I am a Kiwi girl living in Brisbane. I moved over to Australia on my own to grow and pursue my career in the sporting industry. I've always been an active person, which started at a very young age, where I played every sport under the sun. Basketball was my number one sport, and I was even lucky enough to represent my country (NZ).
As I have always had an active lifestyle, I am passionate about all things health and wellness. Currently I do not play competitive Basketball, but absolutely love getting into the gym and focusing on strength training.
I work full time in a sporting role that keeps me busy Monday - Friday, but outside of work and training, I love baking yummy treats and sharing my recipes with you all.
Make sure to check out my page for inspiration in the kitchen and also at the gym 😊 @baileymcdougallfitness

Why I love it: You just can't go wrong. Every single flavour is the BOMB! But salted caramel has my heart, this flavour is so elite. This protein powder is essential part of my daily life.
How I use it: In everything possible! On its own, smoothies and the majority of my baking.
Pre Workout 101
Why I love it: This flavour reminds me of sour lollies, it is absolutely delicious. It gives me the right amount of energy to smash out my training
How I use it: With water before training.
Quick Protein Pancakes
Why I love it: I love this, and it is so easy. I love having one as a sweet treat after dinner.
