Strength, Stamina & Style: Embracing Fitness And Wellness For Success

PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands; Tuesday, 11th March, 2025: Success in modelling extends far beyond beauty and confidence—it demands discipline, resilience, and a commitment to overall well-being. This past weekend, TCI Top Model contestants and models took part in an interactive fitness and nutrition workshop led by Alyx Williams, a professional rugby player, entrepreneur, fitness coach, model and owner of Flyx. The session, focused on ‘optimal fitness and healthy lifestyle choices,’ reinforced the importance of discipline in both physical training and daily life.

The dynamic and high-energy workshop covered essential topics, including proper nutrition, diet practices, effective exercise routines, and the benefits of eliminating alcohol and carbonated beverages from one’s lifestyle and drinking water to stay hydrated. The fitness trainer emphasised that achieving peak physical condition requires a combination of mental focus, proper fuel, consistent effort, and the healthy habits you develop over time.

“Your body is your vehicle—what you put in determines how far you can go,” Williams stated. “Every choice you make, from nutrition to movement to mindset, shapes the person you become. The goal isn’t just to look good; it’s to feel powerful, energised, and ready for anything. The best version of yourself starts with the discipline to show up and do the work.”

The participants took part in engaging discussions, exploring how nutrition fuels performance, how consistency leads to transformation, and how mental focus impacts physical results. The Flyx owner shared personal experiences from his rugby career and personal coaching, illustrating how preparation, perseverance, and smart lifestyle choices lead to peak performance. For modelling, he noted that every element of self comes together, bringing forth a great model. He encouraged them to push their limits, adopt a mindset of consistency and resilience, and believe that their dreams will pay off.

“Fitness is not just about looking good; it’s about feeling strong, staying disciplined, and being the best version of yourself. Success in any field—whether in sports, modelling, or business—comes from dedication, hard work, and the right mindset. If you take on the training, stay focused, and commit to doing the work, you will see results.” Williams added.

The importance of these lessons was underscored by Courtney Robinson, Executive Producer of the TCI Top Model Contest, who expressed gratitude for Williams’ insights. “Health and wellness play a crucial role in modelling. It’s not just about physical appearance but also about stamina, confidence, and overall well-being. Alyx brought an incredible depth of knowledge, motivation, and energy to this session, reminding our participants that success begins with self-care.  We are immensely grateful for his time, expertise, inspiration, and commitment – to helping this year’s intake grow into their best selves.”

The 2025 TCI Top Model Contest—En Vogue is set to take place on Saturday, May 31, 2025, at Brayton Hall in Providenciales. As participants prepare for the big stage, the knowledge and skills gained from this fitness and wellness session will be key to their journey.
