LISA GAULD
Lisa signed up in the spring of 2024 with the goal of stepping on stage in the wellness division. We both agreed she needed time to gain the size required to be competitive so we got straight to work.
Our initial timeline was to step on stage in 2026 after two years of growing, however Lisa progress was so exponential in the first few months of coaching we decided to pull our timeline forward to 2025. This was due to how hard she trained in the off season, her willingness to add more weight on the bar and eat A LOT of food.
We entered our first prep with the goal of grabbing a win and placing whenever that was possible. Lisa ended up doing 6 shows and was never out of the top 2! An unbelievable feat for any first timer and a season that we’ll both never forget.
This season showed her what she is capable off and with some more size she is going to be a force to be reckoned with in the years to come!
Across her first season Lisa collected:
6 x 1st
4 x 2nd
Here is what Lisa had to say about her journey:
“I had been following Vaughan on instagram for a while and seeing all his posts in my feed on his client wins that season, and how he highly praised he was by them, I reached out to Vaughan in May 2024, hoping one day that could be me.
Whenever I sent over my check ins and form videos, Vaughan would respond the same morning and he would get back to me with any changes and answer any questions I had. Having competed himself previously, he can relate to how you’re feeling and what you’re going through, both off season and prep, so I never doubted him for a second.
Having Vaughan there on show days is such a bonus mentally, he is so chill which helped keep my nerves at bay. He would check in on us all multiple times throughout the day to see how we were feeling and looking to ensure we are 100% on stage, watch us from the audience then provide us with feedback from his POV thereafter. Vaughan would send me through the plan for the next few days post show before I even got home from the show!
I can’t recommend Vaughan enough to anyone looking for an experienced and successful prep coach as his efforts are unmatched.”
