From Isabelle Turell’s website:
My whole life did a 360 when I was 20 yrs old. I really wasn’t a fan of muscles and bodybuilding. I thought it was silly. I wanted to give bodybuilding a try as I believe you have to try everything once in life. At that point I wanted to do something that I never done before. I ran into an old friend that was a bodybuilder. I told her I wanted to compete in a show. I had no idea the lifestyle change I was getting into. Nor did I know it was going to forever change my life.
