SABINA COSTEA; Never Trained to Professional Athlete, Food and Body Image Challenges, Law School & Competing, Immigrant Influence, Bikini Division Growth
In today's episode, I chat with IFBB Pro Sabina Costea, a 24-year-old law student based in Montreal, Canada. Raised by immigrant parents, Sabina learned early on the value of pursuing her passions and believing in what's possible through dedication. She was introduced to bodybuilding in August 2022 and stepped on stage for the first time in July 2023. Just one year later, at only her third show, she earned her IFBB Pro card. Sabina now has her sights set on her Pro debut while balancing life as a full-time student.
