Michelle Dela Peña IFBB Pro
Food Prep, Weight Loss & Female Body Sculpting
Michelle began with no background in fitness or nutrition and was trained from the ground up under the mentorship of RDS founder Scott Bird, embracing the Rising Dragon School philosophy of discipline, structure, and pushing limits.
Her physical and mental transformation began at RDS Lapland, where she conquered elite-level circuits, performed 1,000 burpees, and completed an 80km ultramarathon — all as part of the RDS system.
With a growing passion for physique development, Michelle later focused her efforts on bodybuilding. Initially aiming for the bikini category, her muscularity and structure were better suited to Figure, and she made the transition with powerful results.
After 8 years of consistent natural training:
-
🏆 She made her debut at the PCA First Timers UK (2024), winning her category and claiming Overall Women’s Champion.
-
🏆 One month later, she won 1st place at the UKBFF Sugar’s Classic Open, earning an international invitation.
-
🏆 In August 2025, she became the Warrior’s Classic Manila Overall Women’s Champion, making her the regional figure champ.
-
🏆 In September 2025, Michelle won gold again securing her IFBB Pro Card at the Manila AGP, officially joining the ranks of the world’s elite figure athletes.

Who Michelle Is For
Michelle works with people who are serious about real, sustainable change — not shortcuts.
Most of her work focuses on weight loss clients and long-term body recomposition, but she also coaches men and women who want structure, accountability, and discipline done properly.
She has a particular specialism in female physique development and body sculpting, but her standards don’t change based on gender — only on commitment.
This is not casual coaching, fad dieting, or “do your best” fitness.
It’s structured, demanding, and proven.
