Thanks for listening to another episode of The Women’s Fittest Podcast! This is episode #149 interview with IFBB Fitness Pro Jaclyn Baker! 


Honestly had the best time chatting with Jaclyn she is such a vibe! Coming from a tremendous athletic background rooted in dance performance it is no wonder her personality shines so large on the pro stage, but also her personal presentation is straight fire. She’s just lovely! On stage Jaclyn moves with the grace of a dancer and the power and athleticism of a bodybuilder. This ideal mix recently won her a second place finish on the 2022 Olympia stage.! I just love how this conversation flowed so naturally and we covered so many personal and relatable topics including:


  1. Her dance performance background beginning at age 2!
  2. How she got into bodybuilding and specifically the fitness category 
  3. Her competition history (told very well just like walking through her life story) 
  4. Her style of diet and training and her specific daily diet 
  5. Her style of performing and the whole team that helps her prepare 
  6. Growing up in the 90’s and diet culture 
  7. Healthy food relationships 
  8. What her family thinks of this path she’s chosen 
  9. Social media 
  10. Hyper mobile joints and the issues they can cause with bodybuilding 
  11. Discipline versus motivation 
  12. Bodybuilding and fitness at any age 


Super grateful to Jaclyn for her time on the pod she is tons of inspiration and we are all wishing her the best as she’ll be competing on the Arnold Classic stage just weeks away!!
