Leslie Franklin, CPT, CNWC, IFBB Pro, Graphic Design/Apparel/PHAT Muscle Project Coach/Athlete, Synergy Labs & Distribution

As a personal training and Nutrition & Wellness Consultant I love teaching others the importance of good nutrition, supplementation, and working out.  Hearing my clients stories about how much better their lives are since they began eating right and working out is an amazing feeling knowing that I was a part in their journey to a healthier life.  I LOVE helping others reach their goals of stepping on stage and helping them achieve their best bodies ever!

I have been an athlete all my life since age 6 when I began gymnastics.  I have always competed in some sort of sport, starting with gymnastics then track and field, cheerleading, collegiate soccer, 5 K’s, 10 K’s, half marathons, powerlifting, Crossfit, and on stage as a physique athlete now as an IFBB Pro.

My highlights as an athlete are winning numerous powerlifting meets and world championships while setting world records, placing top 100 in the world in the Crossfit Open Online Qualifier 40-44 category, and competing as both a natural pro figure competitor and now soon to make my IFBB Pro debut in the wellness division. 

I currently train at Crossfit Republic and love competing in Crossfit competitions all over the Midwest. I am also head coach of the Special Olympics Powerlifting program in the Springfield Mo area.
