Natalie

An actor by trade, Natalie always struggled with body image and body weight, being told for years she NEEDED to lose weight. She tried plenty of avenues but nothing ever worked. This led to depression, disordered eating and unnecessary stress. Until she found natural bodybuilding. After a few years of lifting and enjoying training for strength, not leanness, and with the help of Stephen Brennan of ‘sbrennanfitness’, incidentally her partner, she decided to take the jump into competing on the stage. 2022 marked her first prep, and she finished the season with 3 top 3 placing in 2 shows. Bodybuilding has taught her more about herself than she could ever have imagined, and both her and Stephen shared their experiences with their YouTube and instagram ‘Chunks fly together’, hoping to inspire others with their journey as a training duo! But the work is never done, and the only way is up, so continuing that journey was a no-brainier! She is delighted to be a part of team Empire and can’t wait to see what the next phase brings. 

Stephen Brennan

 found bodybuilding and strength sports, and it was love at first sight. As someone who didn’t excel but wasn’t bad at sports when I was younger, bodybuilding gave me the control of my success. 

Forever excelling to be better. 

Three shows, 3 trophies(these were earned through the work I did) and one medal. 

I’ll be competing in ‘24. 

Aidan McAlinden

I have been training now for over 10 years, from what began as lifestyle training slowly developed into more serious training which led me to start competitive bodybuilding. I am currently taking some time away from the stage to make the necessary improvements.
