Sydney Elise Hunter
Sydney started running track at 10 and earned a Division 1 scholarship to UC Riverside. She picked up a barbell at 13 to get faster. Somewhere along the way, the weights won. She left track, finished her degree, and launched Body By Syd in 2018.
Today she competes in the 63 kg powerlifting class with a 501.5 lb deadlift, holds ISSA and NASM certifications, and was cast as "Huntress" on Prime Video's American Gladiators. She trains clients of all levels, from first-timers to competitive athletes.
