ANDREA LOCES; Under The Rug?, Diagnosis Dangers, Trust your Execution, Go Pro or Don't Go Home

Confessions of a Bikini Pro

Today I speak with IFBB Bikini Pro Andrea Loces, a talent acquisition professional at a tech start-up, who has her bachelor of science degree in entrepreneurship from Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego. Originally from Palm Springs, CA, she earned her pro card at Nationals 2023 on the 3 year anniversary of the first check-in with her coach! A lifelong athlete and former ballerina, Andrea ran track and cross country, before an injury ended her collegiate cross country career. She has her barre instructor certification and was training for a powerlifting competition before she decided to commit to bodybuilding. She has competed in 13 shows, including 5 Regional and 8 National. She has been with her coach, Damian Segovia at The Pros, since the start, and is so grateful for him!
