A dominant name in bodybuilding and a six-time CrossFit Games Women’s champion, Tia Clair Toomey surprised her fans with delightful news. On 24th December 2022, she announced that she was expecting her first child with husband, Shane Orr. Because of this, she won’t be participating in the 2023 Competitive season.

However, breaking the pre-set societal norms, the Commonwealth Gold medalist is showing the world that even women who are pregnant can work out safely in the gym. Leading with example, the expecting mother shared an Instagram video where she could be seen lifting heavy weights. Impressed fans dropped their reactions.

Tia Clair Toomey leaves bodybuilding fans inspired 

Dressed in casual gym wear, Toomey was spotted again in the gym. Lifting some insane weights, the 29-year-old successfully mastered the clear jerk. Killing the Monday blues, she looked all pumped while she did all the lifting. Her Instagram fandom was quick to share their appreciation, thoroughly impressed by her skills.

While, Toomey would be away from participating in any of the competitive games, due to her pregnancy, her fans had a different view. Assuring her that she would have lifted the trophy had she participated, one of her admirers wrote, “I think if Tia could go to the Games this year pregnant, she would still win!” Falling short of words, many of her fans were left speechless, and hence sought refuge in the fire “🔥” emojis to best express their emotions.

More appreciation for the mom-to-be

Even though the little bundle of joy had derailed her plans for the 2023 season, Toomey holds no regret.
