Harborough bodybuilding champion announces competetive retirement


Harborough bodybuilding star Megan Hensman has announced her retirement from the competitive stage after an award-winning career that saw her crowned PCA Midlands Champion and 2Bros Scottish Champion.
Now, the Market Harborough and Lutterworth athlete is turning her focus to helping women discover their own strength through her business, JC Fitness, which she runs alongside her partner and trainer, James Cooke.
Megan said the decision to step back from competing wasn’t easy, but the time felt right to shift her energy into teaching.
“Winning titles like the PCA Midlands and 2Bros Scottish Championships were dreams come true,” Megan explained. “But my biggest passion has always been showing women what they’re capable of. Through JC Fitness, I can help more women build strength, confidence, and self-belief.”
Together, Megan and James are developing tailored coaching and training programmes aimed at breaking down the barriers that often discourage women from stepping into the weights section of the gym.
“It’s not just about trophies or physiques,” added James. “It’s about building confidence, resilience, and a supportive community.”
With a proven track record of success on stage and a new mission to inspire others, Megan’s next chapter with @meg_JCFitness on instagram looks set to leave a lasting impact on women’s fitness across Market Harborough, Lutterworth, and beyond.
