Military Fitness Hero 2: Paige Vlieger

For some people, aging is just something we accept. As we leave our adolescence and transition into adulthood we become complacent, even if we are unhappy with ourselves. Where we are in life and what we have become is just accepted. These people go on about their everyday lives only dreaming about changing and never taking action. 

 However, every once in awhile a person refuses to accept this reality. These people not only realize they can change but take action to make it happen. After all, life's problems wouldn't be called hurdles if there wasn't a way to get over them.

  Paige began her journey into serious fitness in 2011 while her husband was deployed to Afghanistan with the US Army. What started as simple lifestyle changes including healthier eating and daily walks has since morphed into a whole new lifestyle and career.

  Her journey into fitness not only includes personal transformation, but transformation of others as well. She has taken the lessons she learned and applied them to design fitness plans and train others. Paige is currently working at a Military Fitness Center where she designs workout systems, trains, and mentors others to help live a healthier lifestyle as well.

• and many others...

Paige has taken her success as an athlete to the stage in the most recent years, attending several events. In August 2014, Paige competed in the Stuggart Classic. Then in October 2014 she competed professionally in the IFBB German/American Open. Most recently in March 2015, she took her skill set international and competed in the Annual Fitness Helsinki competition, placing third in her class. A success most of us amateur bodybuilders only dream of!


Some of Paige's other notable fitness accomplishments include racing in several Tough Mudder and Spartan Races. Paige also competed in a Military Mud Obstacle Course, placing first for her division. She is active daily in her local Military community, completing numerous charity and Holiday runs. 

 If you can't understand now why I have chosen Paige as a Military Fitness Hero, then this is the wrong page for you to visit. Her list of accomplishments are only limited by the space the internet allows me to type this article in and will only grow with time.

Thank you for the inspiration Paige!
