ELENOA MCCABE

Today, I speak with IFBB Pro Elenoa McCabe who goes by Noa. By day
she is a data steward for a large agricultural company, but her
true passion lies in competing and being part of the fitness
industry! She currently lives in Colorado where she loves to hike,
ski, and go on road trips with her boyfriend and their puppers. She
also has a fitness podcast called The Gym-ish Pod and she is an
online coach! She started competing in 2017 and turned Pro at 2021
at the NPC National Championships. She knew she wanted to be a Pro
after her first show and decided to take almost 2 years off to
improve her physique. 

 


Elenoa talks about knowing when you’re ready to compete and the
importance of optimizing everything to win. She speaks to the
importance of taking your time to choose the right coach and
talking to current and previous competitors about their
experience with the coach. Having open communication with your
coach is such an important part of being a competitor and Elenoa
shares an important story as to why!


 


Elenoa has such a positive outlook about bodybuilding and
competing. You don’t want to miss this episode!
