Brittany Pilon recently made her competition debut at the INBA NSW Regional Championships and after some great results has her eye on the nationals in June.

In her three events she got two seconds and a third.

She was pleased her commitment these past eight months had paid off.

“My first time on stage I was shaking so much,” she said.

“As I went on it got better, I wasn't as nervous.

“For a first timer I was pretty happy.”

After nearly a year of strict, clean living, she could be forgiven for having a celebratory meal afterwards.

“I went and got pasta and garlic bread,” she said with delight.

"You're not supposed to have carbs which is my favourite kind of food.”

While she’s always kept a pretty active lifestyle, it wasn’t until eight months ago that she decided to have a crack at competitions.

Her father had a bit of experience in the matter and was excited at the prospect of her daughter following in his footsteps.

"My dad actually competed in bodybuilding comps when he was the age I am now,” Pilon said.

“He was really excited because he's very interested in to it all.

“He always said it was a great experience and talked about it a lot so I thought I'd like to give it a go.”

This is when she was introduced to Jason Grogan from Jason’s Gym.

“I've been doing this for about 18 years now, I've had two girls win world titles before, when Brittany came in she had heaps of potential,” Grogan said.

“She was really raw at first so I took her through some forms and she just hit them straight away.

“I trained a girl who came second at the world titles –  I think Brittany looks better than she did.”

Now with her maiden competition under her belt, she’s aiming even higher.

“The first competition got me keen and made me want to do another one,” she said excitedly.

“There are a few coming up and I have my eye on competing in the All Female Classic (a national event) in June.

“I'll probably do one more before then as well but I'm playing it by ear.”

So for now, it’s back to diet and exercise as she looks to make her mark.

“I think nationals will be a big jump from what I just did and I'll have to be very strict,” she said.

“I'm very excited but it will be a very good experience.”
