CHERYL MCGREGOR
Cheryl joined the team early 2025 after watching her husband do incredibly well on stage in 2024. The initial plan was to complete a photoshoot and get her in the best shape of her life. However that goal quickly changed to stepping on stage for the first time in the Masters Figure category.
As coaching began I could tell Cheryl already trained hard, you could tell that with the muscle mass she had, all she needed was a training split that suited the figure criteria and nutritional guidance. She settled into coaching very quickly and we saw a huge response out the gate.
The biggest challenge for Cheryl wasn’t in training or sticking to her diet, it was posing. Like it is for many first timers, posing felt alien, strange and down right hard to do. But I have to give her huge credit as she persevered, through a lot of frustration, as she nailed it by the time it goes to the stage.
She ended up jumping in a show earlier that planned and had a tremendous first season, with the highlight being her win at BPA Masters All stars. I know that she has a bright future ahead in this sport and in time she will be undeniable .
Across her season Cheryl collected:
1 x 1st
1 x 2nd
1 x 3rd
Here is what Cheryl had to say about her journey:
“I came to Vaughan initially for a photoshoot due to my husband previously competing and saw what Vaughan was able to achieve with him and wanted his help to get me into shape too.
Vaughan is very knowledgeable in all areas of his work and no question was ever too big, small or even stupid. From the very first consultation right up to the end, the professionalism and commitment he showed never dulled. He was always on the other end of the phone if I needed him and he never left me waiting for a response he was always super quick getting back to me. Diet plans were sent quickly, if ever there was alterations to be made we would discuss and within the hour they would be there ready for me. The service he provides is honestly next level. The dedication he shows to his work and clients goes unmatched.
The plan for me quickly changed and I decided that I wanted to compete after all and not just do a shoot which Vaughan supported and adapted the plan to suit this. The support I received on the run up to show days and the actual show was above and beyond what I expected from a coach. Even on the show days where I jumped in early and Vaughan couldn't make them he was constantly messaging and checking in on me making sure I knew what to expect and what the plan was for the hours leading up to stepping on stage.
I would highly recommend Vaughan to anyone wanting to start on a bodybuilding or a photoshoot journey. He's such a genuine guy with only his athletes best interests at heart. He is just as committed to the process as you and will do everything he can to make sure everything runs smoothly throughout. He is always at the other end of the phone if ever you need anything or have any questions, his dedication really does go unmatched.
I wouldn't have reached the level I did without Vaughan and his knowledge, for that I will be forever grateful.”
