Meet one of our newest Bulk Ambassadors Tammie! She’s a highly motivated WBFF Pro Fitness model and a passionate women’s bodybuilding coach.
Since competing in her first figure show in 2011, Tammie has achieved great results in multiple shows at all levels of competition. She even competed in a team at the 2016 CrossFit games. In the past few years, she has changed divisions and is working hard towards competing at the 2021 WBFF Pro Fitness show in October.
Tammie’s love for everything health and fitness also show in her coaching. Over the last decade, she has coached countless women worldwide, helping them to move better, feel stronger, unlock their inner potential, and create confidence they didn’t know they had.
Recently Tammie became a fully qualified Sports Nutritionist adding to her already extensive repertoire of coaching skills and services.
I'm all about helping people live better and find their potential
I have been extremely lucky to have had Olympic level coaches (from gymnastics to weightlifting) over the last 10 years who all play an enormous part in influencing me with my skills (both athletic and coaching).
In 2019 I upped my game and became an accredited Sports Dietician (Sports Nutrition Australia).
As well as coaching women worldwide, I'm an ex-figure competitor and current fitness model.
I began as a figure competitor in 2011 and scored multiple Australian titles, a World Title (Las Vegas) and my top achievement, Miss Figure Universe Pro (2014 Miami Florida).
During those initial years of bodybuilding, I also turned to competitive powerlifting to stack on some muscle.
After my success in Miami, I changed direction and moved into CrossFit where I fell in DEEP, so deep I ended up competing in the 2016 CrossFit Games as a team. I loved it, every part of this style of training, the community and the challenge.
2019 rolled around with a bunch of injuries and glandular fever, forcing me to leave CrossFit and find another way to train.
This is where I turned back to bodybuilding. This brings us to now with my most recent title of Miss Fitness Diva Pro (2019).
As a coach, I use my own personal experience and accomplishments to help others upgrade their lives with better health, confidence and success in pursuing their own dreams.
These are some of the supplements I use and recommend.
Why I love it: Stacked with protein and tastes amazing!
How I use it: I have it every morning in a smoothie. I blend it with a frozen banana. The blend of WPI and WPC makes the smoothie so creamy - I love it!
Why I love it: Quick Protein Oats are so convenient for holidays! They come in sachets so they're easy to pack and you know the serving size. I always train on holidays, so these are perfect for me!
How I use it: With water and a smidge of milk.
Why I love it: I coach so many vegan and vegetarian clients who lack EAAs in their current supps and diet. Adding this to their plan ensures they are supplying their body with complete proteins to grow!
How I use it: Throw it in a smoothie or shot it with a glass of water.
My training changes all the time.
I am a massive fan of macro plans.
I love the flexibility, I never feel like I'm 'dieting' no matter what phase of training I'm in.
I've eaten icecream every night for the past 5 years and still winning!

Have you had any exceptional results (in competitions or otherwise) in the last few years? Let us know what they are!
I'm working towards my Pro Debut with WBFF.
I recently had a baby (Feb 2023) and after 12 months of training at 1/4 of the intensity I'm used it, it's now good to be back.
I will keep working on building the best physique possible to get to that Pro stage (give it a year or two, and I'll be there!).
Have you had any exceptional results (in competitions or otherwise) in the last few years?
I am proud to say I trained the entire duration of pregnancy (2022-2023) right up until the day went into labour.
I learnt so much about my body and now have an entirely new amount of respect for women!
Having been able to exercise throughout pregnancy supported a solid recovery from birth and I was able to exercise as soon as 3 weeks postpartum.
I am beyond grateful for a body that has allowed me to achieve this. To me, it's even more valuable than any of the trophies I've won!
