Debbie Schofield

My name is Debbie Scholefield and I am 31 years old. I have trained with Ian now for a number of years, I have always been a very active person with a passion for sports, and my first interest was in the field of Athletics which then lead me into the Gym some years ago were I met Ian.
I have always been dedicated to my training but since I began competing for the NPA my training intensity has increased immensely. I can remember my first competition the NPA Yorkshire 2005, I found this to be a very overwhelming experience, but at the same time very satisfying. All the training and hard work certainly seemed worth it when I placed 2nd at my first competition.

Afterwards I remember thinking “I can’t wait to do that again”, and 3 years later with 4 competitions behind me here I am again preparing for the same show. With Ian’s help every year my body seems to change so much so that I feel I am in the best shape ever.
Training with Ian is certainly a major factor in my life and have given me so much motivation by constantly pushing the boundaries within my training. I am extremely lucky when it comes to dieting and would go as far as saying I break all the moulds. I have never dieted to lose weight, and with 1 week to go to the Yorkshires have just started to clean up my diet by removing milk, salt & sauces.

Through my training and competition I have made some fantastic friends. We all support and encourage one another which make the whole experience much more enjoyable.
With thanks to Ian & the girls. Also a big thank you to my husband Richard for supporting me.
