JOY SISTINA
Joy is a world-level powerlifter, content creator, and Buffalo native making waves in the fitness community. After a series of injuries forced her to end her 15 years of gymnastics training, she found a new passion rebuilding herself in the gym and further healed through sharing her journey on social media. Now she’s dedicated to spreading positivity and advocating for mental and physical wellness, using her platform to help others become the strongest versions of themselves. Beyond her bench expertise as the 2024 World Bench Champion, Joy’s known for sharing a very honest view of both the highlights and hardships of her life, including her mental health journey and navigating OCD. She’s also an athlete partner to Gymshark and offers bench specific training programs to help you “look good, lift good.”
