Marianka Fourie
Lifting limits, breaking barriers
About Me
Age: 23
Marianka’s journey is one of strength, faith, and relentless determination. A powerlifter, oral hygienist, and lifelong athlete, she first stepped into the gym to improve her hockey fitness but quickly fell in love with weight training. What started as a hobby soon turned into a passion, and by the end of 2023, she was competing in powerlifting—earning a spot on the South African team in 2024 and representing the country on the world stage in Malta.
Her training schedule is a dynamic mix of powerlifting, hockey, running, hiking, and her latest challenge—Hyrox. She trains in the gym five days a week, balancing multiple hockey sessions and weekend runs or matches. But beyond her own achievements, Marianka is driven to inspire others, proving that success isn’t about waiting for the “right time”—it’s about taking action. As the Biogen Face of Fitness 2025, she wants to show others that the only limits are the ones we set for ourselves.
