KENNEDY NAVARRO
Kennedy joined the team in 2024 with one goal in mind, to become a PCA Pro. For those of you who don’t know, PCA is the biggest federation in the U.K and becoming a pro is hard to do. Not only do you have to win your class, but you also need to win the overall in a pro qualifier, which are always the toughest shows of the year.
Having already had success on stage Kennedy came on board with a great deal of experience and all the necessary attributes to turn pro. Her structure and shape suited the bikini criteria well, but it was her hard work and discipline that impressed me the most in the first few weeks working together. The potential was there, all she needed to do was get bigger.
Over the course of 12 months Kennedy transformed her physique and added muscle mass in all the right areas that were needed to take her to the next level. Throughout her off season we placed a big emphasis on bringing up her glutes, quads and delts which was reflected in her programming.
On the initial consult call I vividly remember saying to her, “Give me 12 months and you’ll be a PCA Pro in 2025”. When we found out PCA Scotland was going to be a pro qualifier, our target was locked in and the stage was set.
Fast forward 11 months from our consult call, Kennedy stepped on stage at PCA Scotland where she took the class win, won the overall and earned her pro card. It can often take some athletes 3-4 attempts before they get the nod, but she did it with her first try! The thing is, she was already acting like a pro long before she earned her pro status and is fantastic example to any young woman out their looking to do the same.
I am immensely proud of everything she has accomplished to date and cannot wait to see her take to the pro stage next year.
Here is what Kennedy had to say about her journey:
“I joined with Vaughan just after my first season in 2024. I had seen Vaughan and his team at the shows I competed at. I loved the team mentality he has with his clients and his results spoke for themselves.
Since joining the team the service and support throughout my offseason and prep I have received has been incredible. His level of knowledge and attention to every detail is second to none. He clearly explains his reason behind his decisions. Everything is mapped out with a clear vision and goal in place. Vaughan is so passionate about bodybuilding and his clients. Your goal means just as much to him as it does to you.
The lead up to show day and the day itself ran so smoothly. I knew exactly what protocols to follow well in advance which made me feel so much more relaxed and prepared. Vaughan kept me calm on the day with regular check ins making any adjustments accordingly.
I would highly recommend Vaughan to anyone who wants to excel in the sport.”
