Biography
Beginning A Fitness Journey
Melissa Le Man was born and raised in Queensland, Australia, and has always had a passion for physical exercise. She participated in a variety of sports, including touch football and netball, and gained a slim figure.
She had chosen to run on treadmills at this stage rather than lift any weights at the gym.
Following her college graduation, she started working in corporate jobs. She had a new job in an office in her hometown, where she spent much of her time sitting down.
Melissa Le Man grew dissatisfied with her level of inactivity and desired to pursue a career in a field she enjoyed. Melissa started to consider a career as a professional athlete as she became determined to improve her circumstances.
Competing
At the age of 24, Melissa started getting ready to enter her first show in 2009. To add size and dimension to her body, the Australian started weightlifting in the gym.
In 2010, Melissa competed for the first time and instantly fell in love with bikini competitions. She continued to grow stronger as she gained knowledge and exposure to the sport.
She decided to concentrate on obtaining a Pro Card at this stage.
“I was able to change my shape with the correct nutrition and exercise,” the author said.
Card Pro
Melissa didn’t have to wait long to win a trophy in her first major competition—the 2013 ANB Asia Pacific Day.
This encouraged her to work even harder, and a year later, she had accomplished everything she had set out to do. After constantly winning bikini competitions, Melissa, at 29 years old, ended 2014 with her Pro Card.
Online Iconic
Melissa had received a ton of publicity because of her spectacular performances at bikini shows. She began gaining a lot of social media followers as a result of people admiring her amazing form.
By 2016, Melissa had achieved social media fame as she persisted in sharing her fitness journey through images and videos with followers all around the world
“I want you to know that there is no such thing as failure when you start to believe that every experience is an opportunity to grow.”

“If I can achieve my dreams so can you! Write them down, say them out loud, make them a priority. This is YOUR life, YOU control the outcome”
Influences and Idols
Since Melissa has always been encouraged to succeed and supported by her mother, she cites her as her primary influence.
“I have been shaped into the person I am now by several influences. My mother is the person I most look up to. She is a hardworking woman who has inspired me to follow in her footsteps.
She has been my rock and role model from the beginning and is continuously giving me excellent advice and direction.
“Anything you dream can become reality: if you work hard enough for them, don’t give up when things are not running smoothly and have patience…”
