Inga Neverauskaite- IFBB Pro Figure

I was born in the city of Siauliai, Lithuania, a country on the east coast of the Baltic sea, eastern Europe. None of my family were of a sporting background but my parents supported my interests in every way.When I was a little girl I remember my mother taking me to the ballet. I was always active, participating in dancing and aerobics. In my childhood I was happy with this and never thought I would take up weight training.

In 1997 I did take up weight training in my school’s Gym, after trainer Romaldas Miskunas inspired me with the idea of trying something new. After only six months of training I started competing. I was 17 years old and was placed 4th in my first Fitness competition and 1st in Mixed Pairs Class with bodybuilder Rolandas Remeikis.

Later I began to workout in the Elada Gym under the guidance of more experienced trainers Valerijus Aleinikovas and Rolandas Remeikis.

In 2001 my boyfriend (now my husband) and I moved to the United Kingdom for better opportunities in our work. Lithuania was good but we were young and wanted a change. Here I met Karen Marillier, who with her husband Harold run The Forest Gym in Crawley, West Sussex. She became my trainer and I her protégé. They are my friends and helped and inspired me to achieve my present level.

During my competitive beginnings in Lithuania I took six victories at the National Championships. Later I managed first place both in the 2003 IFBB European (here I won the overall) and World body fitness (as Figure is called in Europe) Championships. These competitions were held in Turkey and Spain.

The greatest competition for me was the British Championships in the autumn of 2003 which I won and finally earned my pro card. It was such an amazing thing to happen…”something I had never dared to dream”.

I made my pro debut in 2004 and it took me two years to get on the stage for the Figure Olympia. This had been my new goal since I got my pro card, and I was so excited to compete with all the best Pro girls.

I finally won my first Pro Show in 2006 and competing is all it is about for me. I will keep doing it as long as it feels good and as long as I can see myself improving. I enjoy it so much!

Already competing has given me so much. I have travelled widely and enjoyed every experience. Shannon and Tres my new American friends made me so welcome when I competed in the USA. None of this would have been possible without the help and encouragement I have received from my husband, family, trainers and friends. They helped me along the path and I will be forever grateful to them all.

With desire and dedication dreams can come true. They did for me!..
