Syleena Johnson's first fitness competition; she starts training with prep coach KD Wilson, tries to balance her family life with her ambition, and undergoes a cool sculpting procedure.
Still sore from cool sculpting, Syleena pushes through her workouts and loses enough weight to pull off a photo shoot for her new album; soon after, she experiences severe back and leg pain, leaving her journey to the stage hanging in the balance.
Syleena is dealt a devastating diagnosis about her back, and coach KD modifies her workouts; while managing her back pain, Syleena travels to Chicago to complete her album and puts her back to the test, performing on stage at the Bantu Fest concert.
Syleena sets her sights on South Africa for a three-week tour run; before she goes, she tackles a long task list: workouts with KD, her first posing practice, a chiropractor visit, massage therapy, and a follow-up cool sculpting appointment.
Syleena and KD explore pushing her competition back; as they determine a plan, Syleena takes her muscle recovery tactics to the next level; she reaches a breaking point as the pressure to get on the fitness competition stage mounts.
Fatigued but focused, Syleena muscles through peak week; show day arrives and Syleena hits the stage in front of her family, friends and fans.
