I wanted to do a sport which includes gymnastics and weights! I started sports at school where i discovered gymnastics. I fell in love with the sport and continued to practice even after school and with the national team at the time. It was the early ages of gymnastics in Malta and I can proudly say that I was part if that era and being one of 2 gymnasts who represented Malta abroad. I stopped gymnastics to continue with my studies but in the meantime I wanted to keep fit. I started to get interested in fitness, nutrition, and started dance plus going to the gym. I competed in bodybuilding contests however my relationship with food got worse. I needed to find the right balance between being muscular and leanness. I discovered CrossFit which helped gaining a more positive body image plus learning new skills and gaining general fitness. I graduated as a pharmacist and Nutritionist.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jessicabg_aimfitnessmalta\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jessicabg_aimfitnessmalta\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sports achievements<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Island games corsica ( 1998 i believe)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> 2018 Souther warriors finalist <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2018 south mayhem team masters winners 2019 crossfit games as national champion<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> 2021 German throwdown masters 35+ 1st place<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> 2022 Wodapalooza masters 35 4th place<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> 2022 Madrid championship 35+ 1st place <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2022 Arnold fitness games 35+ rx 1st place <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2022 German throwdown 35+ tie 3rd<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> 2023 Wodapalooza 35+ 5th place <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2025 Wodapalooza intermediate women team 1st place<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">legends classic 2024 where I joined a team from the USA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Madrid fitness festival June 2024 team advanced 4th<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Motivational message:&#8221;Work hard be humble&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maltanutrition.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/0E99BD4B-146C-4473-B3CE-CC4D8BFE2D8A.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1156\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maltanutrition.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/0E99BD4B-146C-4473-B3CE-CC4D8BFE2D8A.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.maltanutrition.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/0E99BD4B-146C-4473-B3CE-CC4D8BFE2D8A-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.maltanutrition.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/0E99BD4B-146C-4473-B3CE-CC4D8BFE2D8A-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/NI8qAB7BHG8?si=PsFNFEeshoILLjhP\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/NI8qAB7BHG8?si=PsFNFEeshoILLjhP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WATCH JESSICA&#8217;S FULL INTERVIEW ON YOUTUBE HERE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:30px\">Jessica&#8217;s Top 3 Supplements: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Creatine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vitamin C<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whey Protein<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jessica Borg Ghigo 41 yr old &#8220;Currently do CrossFit I started crossfit back in 2011..
