Pluck targets Int’l success in fitness industry

Junica Pluck may not be a household name just yet but the Ms. Bikini winner at last Saturday’s Guyana Amateur Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation’s Novice’s bodybuilding and fitness championships will look to change that, one show at a time.

Pluck, who was the near perfect mix of muscularity, symmetry, beauty and style at the championships staged at the Theatre Guild, Kingston, is looking to make a splash in the fitness industry here and further afield.

Pluck was inspired after viewing a bikini modeling show on television a few years ago and after joining Buddy’s Gym last October, fitness has become an integral part of her lifestyle.

Under the mentorship of pro bodybuilder Sylvan Gardner along with the gains she made in the gym, the 5-foot-five inch Scorpio was convinced she had the assets to win this year’s Novices bikini contest.

She did win and is now looking forward to taking home more trophies.

Said Pluck yesterday: “My first experience was fantastic I never thought I would have done it but I did although I was a bit nervous. I am glad that I’ve experienced what I always wanted to experience and I’m looking forward for greater things.

“I want to go far not just here in Guyana but in the Caribbean and even international. Going international would mean so much to me.”

Pluck maintained that trophies are gratifying but if you took them away, she would still be at the gym five days a week sculpting her physique.

“I do it because it’s something I love, when I’m at the gym it’s my happiest time of the day.”

The statuesque figure mentioned that she will be competing again in July at the Senior Championships.

Something you may not know about Pluck?

“I’m always on the internet researching more healthy ways to eat and ways to improve my workouts, I believe in always striving to get better.”

Everybody loves a winner and if Pluck keeps up here winning ways, she will surely be a household name.
