Athelete in Focus: Jawn Fajardo

There are different ways that can get you noticed in Bodybuilding, a freaking huge body,  superb conditioning, an awesome posing routine or a pretty face. The first time I noticed him was in the Mr Asia Pacific competition in Boracay with his unusual gyrating hips routine.


















He started bodybuilding in 2007, he weighed a measly 41kg then. I can only imagine a twiggy boy, as he stands at 5'7". He was a band vocalist then, and some of the buffed rap artists like 50 cents were his inspiration to go into the sport so that he would have the complete package while he does his performance on stage. Today, he competes at 75 to 80 kg.


He trains 4 to 6 times a week in his gym, PowerShape Fitness Gym and Spa in Valencia City,  in Bukidnon and sometimes in its branch at Malaybalay City. He has high praises for the gym's instructors and the extra facilities it offers like ample carpark, steam bath, hot shower, clean lockers. They even have a wifi zone.

His ambition is to compete in Mr Olympia someday, but for now he is preparing to compete in the Mr. Universe in Germany next week.


I've seen him compete successfully in the athletic category in both Cebu and Boracay. This category constrains the athlete's weight based on his height. This is also the category which is often labelled as the model physique category. His unusual posing routine is usually the crowd favorite. 

His proudest moment in this sport was when he got the  Mr. Bukidnon title. And this year, he is one of the member of the Philippine team to compete Mr. Universe in Germany. Not to mention he is one of the top models of MuscleGallery

Aside from bodybuilding, Jawn also does motocross,  off road and big bike racing. He is also performing in a band, and a tattoo artist.























So as the performing arts people say... Break a leg in Germany Jawn!!!
