SHANTAL BARROS; 5 Years Off, Misunderstood in Relationships, Never Poor Again

Today I speak with IFBB Pro Shantal Barros, who turned Pro in
2017 at USAs. After winning her Pro card, she took 5 years off
and made her Pro debut in 2022, where she placed as high as
second. She lives in New York City and is a marine and owns her
own business. Her passion for bodybuilding started when she lived
in California and needed to lose weight to join the Marines. She
started competing in 2015 after leaving her ex-husband. 


 


Shantal talks about the long break she took away from the stage
and why she eventually decided to make her Pro debut. We hear how
Shantal truly lived the lifestyle because she enjoys it. I think
all competitors can relate to this conversation!
