Sarah Lawson is a highly experienced UK bodybuilder with a competitive career spanning more than 15 years, achieving success across UK and international NABBA competitions.

She first made her mark in 2008, competing across multiple federations including NABBA and UKBFF, before establishing herself as a consistent presence on the UK stage. Her breakthrough came in 2012, when she won the NABBA Wales title and went on to place second at the NABBA British Championships and fourth at the NABBA World Championships.

Lawson reached a major milestone in 2013, winning the NABBA British Championships and the overall title, cementing her status as one of the UK’s leading competitors. She followed this with a second-place finish at the NABBA Universe the same year, and continued to compete at a high level internationally, including multiple appearances at the Universe and World Championships.

After further success in the UK, including victory at NABBA England in 2016 and NABBA Wales in 2018, Lawson returned to the stage in 2023 to once again claim the NABBA England title before placing second at the NABBA Universe.

Her longevity, consistency and success at both national and international level make her one of the most accomplished NABBA athletes of her era.
