Leandre Havenga
Building strength in mind and body
About Me
Age: 26
Leandre’s fitness journey started in high school, but like many women, she once feared lifting weights, worried about looking “bulky.” It wasn’t until she overcame personal struggles, including a toxic relationship that made her doubt herself, that she truly embraced bodybuilding and found confidence in her own skin. Fitness became more than just a lifestyle—it became her tool for self-empowerment.
Now, as a facilitator helping others grow, she is passionate about inspiring women, particularly teenagers, to build resilience and self-love. She believes mental strength is just as important as physical fitness and wants to show others how shifting your mindset can transform your body. Currently back in the gym after competing, Leandre is focused on building muscle and preparing for an international fitness competition. She also enjoys padel, pickleball, and boxing as part of her active lifestyle, always pushing herself to new heights.
