Michelle Lenhardt

Hi, my name is Michelle Lenhardt

I am 43 years old Brazilian living in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

My entire adult life has been about performance, as a swimmer I achieved the highlight of my career Olympian at 28 in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Retired from the swimming pool in 2013 when a back injury put an end on my 20 years career.

Couple of surgeries later I was presented with the opportunity of competing in a completely new sport: Bodybuilding! That’s when I started to develop a more intimate relationship with the fitness world and learning about the different nutrients and the effects on our bodies as well as the psychological aspect of dieting.

In 2015, I became a WBFF Amateur Fitness Champion, and in 2016 WBFF Fitness PRO World Champion.

Having climbed the rankings so quickly I was hungry for new goals and decided it was time to invest in a in the other side of sports performance, this time working as a coach/trainer.

For the past 7 years, I’ve been working as a Trainer and Health Coach, as well as coaching my own husband, Olympic Swimmer Bruno Fratus. Together we won a Bronze Medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, something we’re extremely proud of. 

As the years pass, personal goals also change. Today I value even more my physical and mental health, my self-care is the fuel to boost my confidence. I believe that if you practice self-care, you know you're doing something positive for your mind, body, and spirit, and you'll naturally feel more confident. Counting on NOW®’s support and incorporating natural and high-quality products into my routine has been a big part of my success.
