Kate McKay, age 61, Earns IFBB Bikini Pro Card-Redefining Strength and Resilience

At 61, Kate McKay earns her IFBB Pro Card—then wins 1st place at her pro debut just two weeks later, proving it’s never too late to rise and inspire.

AMESBURY, MA, UNITED STATES, July 30, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Massachusetts resident Kate McKay Earns IFBB Bikini Pro Card—Then Takes 1st Place at Her Pro Debut Just Two Weeks Later

Fitness competitor, best-selling author, and lifestyle coach Kate McKay has done what few athletes—at any age—have achieved: on July 4, she earned her IFBB Pro Card in the Bikini division at the NPC Universe Championships. Just two weeks later, she took 1st place at her professional debut at the Chicago Pro on July 18, 2025, one of the most prestigious stages in the IFBB Pro League.

To earn a Pro Card and win a Pro Show within the same month is a rare and extraordinary feat—made even more remarkable by the fact that Kate is 61 years old. Her victories are not just about muscle—they’re about mindset, discipline, and a deep commitment to purposeful living.

“These wins aren’t just about a sparkly bikini or a stage,” Kate says. “They represent decades of discipline, healing, and choosing to rise—again and again. My body is a temple, and through it, I express joy, truth, strength, and purpose.”

Kate views her recent success as more than personal—it’s a mission to empower others. “This isn’t just about me,” she says. “It’s for every person I coach, mentor, and inspire to claim their next level—no matter their age, background, or life circumstances.”
