The London-area native insists she could have majored in blending in. She spent her college years trying to be like the cool kids of Miami's club scene, losing herself in a haze of drugs, partying, and binge eating. | Then, just over five years ago, she joined a gym. “My body was so weak, I struggled through that first class," recalls Hannah, now 26. | Hannah quickly dropped her bad habits, replacing sleepless benders with solid shut-eye and whole foods. | | Within a year, Hannah went from learning about fitness to competing, and in another year, to teaching. "I gained so much strength, physically and emotionally, I no longer wanted to blend in. I wanted to show outwardly what I was feeling inwardly."
