The world of fitness often seems overwhelmingly full of drastic transformations and well-cut physiques. Amidst this, a mother proved that not all growth needs to fit the desired aesthetic. Fitness influencer Claire P. Thomas came up with a challenge for her fitness community, wherein one lucky person could win a trip to Bali with her if they completed her conditions successfully.

In an Instagram post, Thomas announced the winner – Olivia Lach, a mother of three young children and a nurse, took eight weeks to complete the fitness challenge. But what captivated Thomas was the story she carried along with her transformation. Let’s take a closer look!

A super mom in making: Olivia’s story behind her goals

Being a nurse and a mother meant juggling various duties while ensuring everyone around her was taken care of. Amidst this, it was easy for Olivia Lach to ignore her own body’s needs. The core fitness challenge came in as an opportunity for the mom to make some sustainable changes to her busy lifestyle.

Throughout her journey, Lach admitted that she was intimidated by her fellow fitness enthusiasts’ progress. Since she never aimed for defined muscles, six packs, or even four packs, the mom of three didn’t expect to win. Nevertheless, she began the challenge for herself and her personal goals. In fact, Lach confessed that it was relieving “to not compare my chapter 2 to someone’s chapter 20”.
