WHO IS CAITY G?
Caity G is VPA’s Events and Social Media Manager. Caity joined the VPA team back in November 2021 and since then she has continued to grow her presence within the business and create a lasting impression on the VPA Community.
You may have come across Caity on the VPA Social Media, whether that be one of her epic community events, ads, or hilarious reels.
Caity places a significant emphasis on her passion for growing an unstoppable community. A highlight in her role, she says, is her ability to bring people together and celebrate everyone in the fitness community through her epic Events. Caity also works largley within the marketing team and plays a significant role in creating campaigns and bringing them to life via Social Media.
She is a right-hand girl for just about anything with her can-do attitude, there is no challenge too big for her… hence why on top of being an absolute superstar at VPA she took on the challenge of Powerlifting and Bodybuilding – here’s her story.
BACKGROUND
Caity G’s gym journey stems back to 2019 when she decided to transform her lifestyle and sign up for the gym. Caity’s reasoning for joining the gym stemmed from a place of insecurity and simply not feeling confident in the way she looked, especially after moving from her small rural country town, Winton, to the big smoke, Brisbane, for university where she had endless options of food delicacy to choose from. Caitlin’s relationship with food and body image took a turn for the worse.
As we are sure so many of you can relate, Caity for months was terrified of the weights section in the gym and for months she spent tireless hours doing only ab-circuits followed by running for kilometers around her neighbourhood to try and burn the weight off.
After a good 6 months of being in a back and forth relationship with the ab-circuits and cardio machines, she finally built up the courage to step into the weights room. Then COVID hit…
As you know, during this time gyms shutdown for the foreseeable future. Caity was determined to not let it slow her progress . She took full advantage of the only being allowed to go outside for essential activites which of course, included exercise. She went for a 10 kilometer run nearly every single day of COVID lockdown.
Unfortunately, during this time Caity did develop another unhealthy relationship with food. As you may be aware, during this time the infamous 1200-calorie diet began to trend on platforms such as TikTok. Admittedly, being uneducated in both nutrition and the basic nutrients that the body needs to function, this led to more complications with Caity’s eating habits including binging. Caity would under fuel her body during the week which lead to binging episodes on the weekend. This felt like a never-ending repeating cycle.
Fast forward to post COVID, Caity had decided she wouldn’t let her fear of the weights room hinder her progress in the gym any longer. She didn’t have much knowledge about the gym and which exercises would be the most beneficial to her goal, which was to lose weight and put on muscle at the same time (in hindsight, she knows just how silly this goal is). Caity, did however have a TikTok and Instagram account and that's where she would find her inspiration for her workouts. To her own suprise, she put on quite a bit of muscle.
Fast forward again to February 2022, the grand opening of World Gym Stafford. Caity signed up to this flash new hub for Bodybuilders and decided to invest in a coach. Unfortunately, at the time budget only allowed for a training program and not the nutrtition side of things (again, thank god for the internet).
If you know Caity, with the level of intensity, determination and intention she puts into every single one of her sessions, that was all she needed to see her strength skyrocket. Caity G is actually known for training negative 3RIR.
Caity performed that program for one year before she made the decision after watching her best friend, Liv shine on stage that she wanted to do a Bodybuilding competition. A few months later she signed up with coach,
Jas Paterson and decided it was time to rock and roll.
Jas and Caity have been working since late January 2023, and since then they have competed in both Powerlifting and Bodybuilding competitions. Here’s a recap of their time together so far:

FUTURE ASPIRATIONS?
One question Caity has been getting asked an uncountable number of times is “Do you plan to compete again?”. The answer is absolutely yes. Caity has been lucky enough to find her coach, Jas, who has made her Bodybuilding journey so enjoyable. Caity says, "I am already itching to do it all again but next time... better".
Jas and Caity are yet to decide the duration of her building phase but, during this phase, aside from growing some serious muscle they plan to also put it to use and compete in some more Powerlifting competitions and maybe even a Marathon. Fun fact about Caity: She absolutely loves to run. She found a love for it in School and was a year-on-year she would take out Cross Country Age Champ. Post schooling, she rediscovered her love for running as she says "during COVID it really helped with my mental health and staying postive during really tough times". Caity still runs regularly on top of her Bodybuilding and Powerlifting.
Jas and Caity are only just getting started and we know there is so much potential for her to grow in this sport. Ideally, she would like to become an IFBB Bikini Pro in the coming years. Caity believes she has what it takes to make that dream a reality with her hard work and determination and the VPA Fam are in her corner backing her all the way! Show us what you're made of Caity G!
