Name: Clare Joanne Barks
DOB: 15/02/1976
Birth Place: Derby, UK
Category: IFBB Pro Figure

Background:
I began competing in Figure in 2013 and became British Champion through the UKBFF in 2015. I then went on to Win my Pro card through the IFBB in 2022, after nine relentless years of never giving up.
I've always been very competitive and into fitness in one way or another. I played sports throughout school, reaching a high level in both Netball and Sprint track racing, and later tried out various other ways to challenge myself physically. However, since the age of 18, weights quickly became my number one passion. The weights room then remained as a constant throughout, regardless of what else I was doing at the time, before solely switching to Bodybuilding from 2012.
My focus now is on health and longevity, after making the decision to stop competitive Bodybuilding in 2023. I still lift weights, but I also incorporate a lot more cardio based activities into my routine, such as running, cycling and circuit style training. I thrive off routine and my diet is still very structured, but after years of bodybuilding, I am very in tune with my body and know what it needs now, so I allow myself flexibility, whilst still being able to maintain a physique I am comfortable with.
I want to be and feel the healthiest and fittest I possibly can.
