Gillian Hughes, IFBB Bikini Pro

I’ve been a client of James Ayotte/Team Atlas since 2023 and have been thrilled with my experience! Every member of the coaching and administrative team are polite, efficient and caring and I always feel like my goals are important to them. More importantly, I always feel valued and that as one of many athletes that James oversees, that I am more than just a number, something that is quite common in the industry when coaches have a large team of athletes. James is thorough and caring and his attention to detail is unmatched. Victoria is very encouraging and is an incredible posing coach- she has helped me so much and taught me how to display my physique beautifully onstage! I had been competing in the sport of bodybuilding for almost 2 decades when I finally reached out to join Team Atlas in hopes of attaining my goal of becoming an IFBB Bikini Pro- something I had come close to achieving but hadn’t yet achieved that goal. As a part of Team Atlas, I achieved this goal and won my pro card on our second national show together, less than a year after joining the team!!! I am beyond grateful to be under the guidance of Team Atlas as I enter my first season as an IFBB Bikini Pro….a dream come true 💫
