Former bodybuilder Nina Ross now teaches sourdough

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 17 Oct, 08:32 · Archive

Nina Ross, a former bodybuilding champion from Alderley Edge, has shifted careers to become a sourdough teacher and business owner.

Nina Ross, who lives in Alderley Edge, has changed careers from competitive bodybuilding to sourdough teaching and business ownership. She previously taught sports nutrition and sports-related courses at Reaseheath College and played netball at a high level, reaching England trials before a serious ankle injury ended her netball career.

Ross entered bodybuilding almost by chance. After a friend introduced her to a female bodybuilder and invited her to a posing class, Ross initially had reservations about the sport. Three weeks after attending that posing class, she entered her first competition and won. She subsequently qualified for a British women's bodybuilding final and became deeply invested in the sport.

Ross describes finding bodybuilding appealing because it was a sport where she could see her potential through to completion, after injury and circumstance had previously derailed other pursuits. Throughout her various careers, she says, a determination to succeed has remained a constant thread in her life.
