Cydney Gillon: Why Masters Athletes Deserve More | Inside the Peach Classic
An eight-time Figure Olympia champion who will help fix your posing routine, wipe your tears backstage, and then hand somebody a microphone for karaoke? Meet Cydney Gillon, show promoter.
Cydney joins Lacy and Kyla for a funny, heartfelt conversation about building the Peach Classic around the people who make it possible: the athletes.
She shares why Masters competitors hold a special place in her heart, how she gives back through paid national-level entry awards, and why she’s keeping her show exclusively for NPC athletes. We also get into women competing first, bringing Olympia champions to the show, and creating an experience worth the investment.
Whether you’re preparing for your first Bikini or Fit Model competition or choosing your next Masters show, this conversation will have you thinking differently about where you step onstage.

Lianne Saffer: Life After Breast Cancer, Fit Model After 40 & Choosing Joy
How do you keep making room for joy when life keeps asking you to do hard things?
For 41-year-old NPC Fit Model competitor Lianne Saffer, that question is deeply personal. After facing breast cancer at 33 and later supporting her wife through her own diagnosis, Lianne brings a powerful perspective to competing, relationships, and living fully.
Joining Lacy Green and Kyla Faye during peak week ahead of North Americans, she shares her transition from Bikini to Fit Model, her first overall win, and why fourth place at Masters Nationals convinced her to give it another shot.
We talk difficult preps, supportive partners, backstage friendships, and feeling like yourself under the stage glam—with plenty of tears, laughter, and one wonderfully awkward trophy speech.
Whether you’re preparing for your first show or finding your footing after a hard season of life, there’s something here for you.
