Johnny Afoa
Johnny Afoa is a current IFBB Pro League Professional Bodybuilder. Johnny’s love for fitness started at his parents home when he was 12 years old. He trained at home from the age of 12 to 18 with homemade weights. At the age of 18, he joined his first gym and started competing while also actively playing rugby.
From 2006 to 2011 he competed in various local and national competitions in the INBA, NABBA and IFBB Federation NZ. In 2011, Johnny represented New Zealand at his first international competition, Mr. Universe in Hamburg, Germany where he placed 10th.
Since moving to Perth in 2013, he has competed in IFBB and NABBA competitions every single year. Johnny says the highlight of his career has been placing 5th at the IFBB Openman World Championship in Spain in 2017 and winning his IFBB Pro Card at the IFBB Pro League Pro/AM, New Zealand in March 2019.
He hopes to one day win an IFBB Pro Championship and compete in the Mr Olympia.
When asked what motivates him to stay at the top of his game, he said, “It took me many years of hard training to get the physique I have today. What you need is what I had – belief in yourself. Being negative and lazy is a disease that leads to pain, hardships, depression, poor health and failure. Be proactive and give a damn to achieve success. Vision creates faith and faith creates willpower. With faith there is no anxiety and no doubt – just absolute confidence in yourself.
Training, Nutrition and Supplementations play a huge part in any bodybuilder’s achievement, I strongly believe that I will go far in this journey and become one of the best in the bodybuilding industries.”
