Alongside that was a photo of her competing in a competition in France in 2018 after her fitness journey.
She told her followers: ‘I became very unhappy and unhealthy in a terrible relationship that ended very traumatically and I gained a lot of weight.
‘I promised myself I would do better, be better and become a role model and a leader, to make myself and others proud and that’s what I feel I have done.’
She then explained that regular CrossFit and Olympic-standard weightlifting sessions, as well as a good night’s sleep, help her maintain her powerful physique.
Fierce, power, and agility are Sabre’s main attributes.
Ahead of her appearance on the show, Sheli described herself as a ‘grafter’ and revealed that she trains 16-19 hours per week.
She has competed in 5 British weightlifting championship events and numerous CrossFit championships worldwide and has simultaneously been a Scottish champion in both sports.
Sabre runs a gym in Dundee, hoping to inspire future generations to reach their full fitness potential.
