Q&A with Qatrisha Zairyah
From classmates to partners in love and bodybuilding, Leah and Marcus’s story is a testament to the power of mutual support and determination. Leah, the newly crowned Miss Bikini Singapore 2024 at the Fitness Movement Championship, didn’t begin her fitness journey as a seasoned athlete. Instead, it was Marcus, her partner and motivator, who introduced her to the gym—and ultimately, to the stage.
The Beginning: A Chance Meeting at University
Leah and Marcus first crossed paths as university classmates in a group project, a meeting that laid the foundation for a relationship built on trust and shared growth.
Leah: “We met at uni during a group project. Marcus had such a determined personality—it was inspiring. As we worked together, we got to know each other better, and things just naturally clicked.”
It wasn’t long before Marcus’s passion for fitness became a shared journey.
Marcus: “When we started dating, I introduced Leah to the gym. She wasn’t familiar with working out at first, but I saw how quickly she took to it. Her drive to improve and learn was incredible.”
The Transformation into Bodybuilding
What began as casual gym sessions grew into a love for fitness, with Marcus encouraging Leah to challenge herself further.
Leah: “Marcus was the one who first suggested bodybuilding. I wasn’t sure about it initially, but as I trained and saw myself improving, I started to love the discipline and routine of it.”
Through consistent effort and Marcus’s support, Leah transitioned from a gym beginner to a competitor ready to step on stage.
Marcus: “Seeing Leah evolve has been amazing. She put in so much effort, and her progress—both physically and mentally—has been inspiring to watch.”
Victory at Miss Bikini Singapore 2024
Months of dedication paid off when Leah claimed the Miss Bikini Singapore 2024 title, a moment she described as both surreal and empowering.
Leah: “Winning was overwhelming in the best way. All the hard work and sacrifices we made finally came together. Having Marcus there made it even more special.”
Marcus: “Watching Leah shine on stage was incredible. It wasn’t just about the win—it was about everything she overcame to get there.”

With Leah’s championship win behind them, the couple is already looking toward new goals and challenges, both on and off the stage.
Interviewer: “What’s next for you both?”
Leah: “I’m focusing on inspiring others to find their confidence through fitness. Winning this title was just the beginning—it’s given me a platform to encourage others to step out of their comfort zones.”
Marcus: “For us, it’s about setting new challenges and supporting each other along the way. Whether it’s in fitness, life, or anything else, we’ll keep pushing forward together.”
