Chattanooga: Female bodybuilders work to maintain their feminine edge

As bodybuilding becomes more popular among women, it’s hard to balance family, work, school and workouts said personal trainers Deanna Hoffman, mother of two, and 20-year-old Hannah Wilson.

“More (women) are starting to understand that female bodybuilding is not meant to be a freak show,” said Ms. Hoffman, a personal trainer at the Wellness Steps of Bradley County. “As a woman, you must maintain the feminine edge; never let someone looking at you forget you are a woman.”
