‘Malta’s Fitness Sweetheart’ – Leanne Bartolo to launch lifestyle brand

The European Fitness Federation Bikini Champion, Fitness instructor and personal trainer will share fitness and lifestyle content online

-

Leanne Bartolo, who last year won the coveted European Bikini Fitness Championsh­ip and is one of Malta’s leading personal trainers, will soon be launching an online fitness and lifestyle brand.

Aside from being the reigning WWF champion, Bartolo also owns Warehouse Fitness Studio, where she shares her passion for health and fitness as an instructor and personal trainer. Furthermor­e, she is a primary school teacher and is planning her forthcomin­g wedding.

Bartolo’s own packed daily schedule inspired the creation of the new brand, which is rooted in her belief that health and fitness should be accessible to everyone, regardless of how busy their lifestyle may be or what commitment­s they may have.

“Not everyone can make it to the Warehouse Studio in Gzira for weekly classes, afford a gym membership or have time to make healthy decisions in terms of nutrition,” explains Bartolo. “I wanted to create something that will help people to reach their health and fitness goals – a useful online resource that they can use throughout their day, as and when it is convenient to them. So, I’ve put my school teaching career on hold and I’m focusing on launching the brand this year.”

The exclusive lifestyle and fitness content will be made available to users via online platforms such as YouTube, Facebook and Instagram, and will include an ongoing series of profession­allyproduc­ed workout videos that will allow Bartolo to train viewers in their own living rooms. Bartolo will also share insights into her own lifestyle choices, from nutrition and fashion to her own training schedules and personal goals, as an additional source of inspiratio­n for fans.

While carving out a new niche in Malta’s sports scene through her success in internatio­nal World Fitness Federation competitio­ns, Bartolo is already fast becoming a household name due to the popularity of Warehouse Fitness Studio, and informal sponsorshi­ps and endorsemen­ts that have spotlighte­d her outgoing personalit­y.

“I’ve been very lucky with my career in fitness so far, and 2020 will be no different, since I’ll be competing in many local and internatio­nal sporting events throughout this year’s packed calendar,” Bartolo continues. “There’s also a series of personal and profession­al goals I’m aiming to smash this year and I can’t wait to share my journey via the brand and hopefully inspire others to smash their goals too!”
