Lauralie Chapados is a woman who will probably make you want to go to the gym and take better care of yourself. Oh, and she will also make you drool with that Venelia (Doutzen Kroes)-like physique.
And yes, her transition to having a superb body is not easy. She is also like the rest of us then… partying and doing heavy drinking and stuff. So if she can do it, we probably can, too, for a time. It’s just too hard to give up bacon and beer.
Who is Lauralie Chapados
Lauralie Chapados is an IFBB Pro Bikini athlete and fitness model from Quebec, Canada. She also has a YouTube channel (which she established in 2019), where she vlogs her bodybuilding experience and offers fitness advice.
Lauralie also has an e-book called “Build Wagon Glutes”.
Her Early Life
Lauralie Chapados was born on February 13, 1996, in Canada. She says she has always been an active person, thanks to her parents, who encouraged her to participate in soccer, skiing, jiujitsu, and other sports from an early age.
Lauralie was in great form as a child, thanks to her athletic background. In fact, she claims she had abs at the age of eight and was more fit than most of her friends. Lauralie grew less active when she hit her teen years and began to go out more.
Career Journey
Lauralie began weight training as a means of becoming healthier and more fit after realizing that something had to change. After seeing quick results from her training, she was inspired to take her fitness quest to the next level by competing in bikini shows.
“I started to read internet articles about getting in shape. I really wanted to get muscles and get fit. It was really a 180-degree transformation, I went from going out and drinking with friends every weekend to going to the gym twice a day.”
Lauralie kept training for about a year before meeting her partner who was a trainer in Montreal, Canada. He motivated Lauralie to compete in bikini shows. Four months later, Lauralie took part in her first contest and instantly caught the competitive bug. From there, she started competing regularly and quickly rose through the ranks to claim her IFBB Pro Card at the 2016 IFBB Qualifiers in Canada.
She made her first appearance at the Ms. Bikini Olympia in September 2018. With no prior experience in the program, she rose through the ranks to take second place.
Facts and Trivia
Lauralie goes to the gym 6-7 times per week – twice per day – to train for a contest, performing cardio in the morning and weightlifting in the evening.
Lauralie is a great believer in listening to her body, therefore her training may vary from week to week. If she feels she could accomplish more, she will go for it; but, if she is severely sore, she will take an active rest day by stretching or going on long walks.
Lauralie practices yoga to help her recuperate more. She discovered that yoga helps lower her cortisol levels, which is essential for reducing stress and body fat before a show.
Lauralie is in a relationship with her trainer Arlo, who runs Iron University.
