A MOTHER-OF-TWO has been training hard to compete in a fitness pageant, the Miss Galaxy Universe competition.
Katherine Felgate, is taking part in the two-day event in London this weekend.
The personal trainer, who runs Bodybootcamp at Dance Expression Studios at Ryedale Community and Leisure Centre, in Norton near Malton, said she had been looking for a new challenge. She said she was attracted by the competiton because "it’s a fitness and beauty pageant for real women, mums, gym goers, runners, and just about anyone interested in general fitness and health".
She added: “Some find it difficult to understand why I would want to do a competition like this but I often think about the journey my clients begin to take.
"It’s one which is very daunting. It can be difficult and requires steely determination to make changes to your lifestyle to become fitter and healthier," she added.
