    Kelsey Lensman is a 27-year old entrepreneur, sports medicine specialist, sought-after speaker and self-proclaimed “normal girl on a big mission.” She graduated from The Ohio State University with a degree in sports medicine with original plans to attend physical therapy graduate school. However, during her senior year she felt a pull on her heart that she had a different mission. After a life-changing year of training to step on a bodybuilding stage, it led her to realize that our capability far surpasses what we imagine and that true transformation comes from all areas: nutrition, training, mindset, and community. Since then she’s challenged her own limits and became a 5x bodybuilding competitor, 4x powerlifting competitor, powerbuilder, olympic lifter, and has competed in many other events.

    Since then she’s founded EmpowHER Fitness that coaches women all around the country in their nutrition, fitness, and mindset, as well as EmpowHER Events. These events are online and in-person international strength events that challenge women to step out of their comfort zone and show themselves they're stronger than they think. Her unique approach to fitness has helped hundreds of women get results, grow their mindset, and become strong, confident versions of themselves. She’s ready to take on her next purpose driven mission, which is to complete 48 fitness competitions in 48 states in 48 days to raise money for ROX, a charity empowering young girls in confidence, body image, and communication in schools.
