Bea Priestley is getting her sweat on – with Aleah James and Isla Dawn. In a new social media post the WWE wrestler shows off her incredible body in workout gear during a group fitness session with her wrestler pals. “Difficult difficult lemon difficult,” Dawn captioned the Instagram Stories reshared by Bea. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
1. Brain Surgery

Bea underwent brain surgery when she was 18, to have a tumor removed. When asked what it was like she told SPW Insider, “Funnily enough I was knocked out so I don’t remember! The hardest part was the recovery process afterwards. I wasn’t allowed to run until two months afterwards. I wasn’t allowed to go to the gym until six months after my surgery. It wasn’t a highlight of my life, but it’s drawn attention to me and made me stand out as a wrestler – because how many wrestlers have survived brain surgery and continued to wrestle? It was just the recovery process, just sitting on your bum and not knowing if you’d be able to wrestle again.”
2. Cycling

In the recent video, the girls do circuits, lifting weights, jumping rope, and cycling on the airbike. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

3. Hot Tub Soaks
To relax and recover, Bea enjoys hot tub soaks. If you don’t have a jacuzzi, take a bath! They have been linked to better sleep and even found helpful to minimize anxiety and depression. One recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits.
4. Workout Buddies

Bea understands the importance of workout buddies, which help motivate and keep you accountable. “Got each others back in the ring and gym,” one of her recent Instagram Stories of herself with her workout group reads.
5. Strength Training

Her advice to anyone who wants to become a wrestler? “Go to the gym as well. When you get to a higher level you do understand how much more physically demanding it is. You have someone else’s life in your hands, essentially. It could be dangerous if you don’t stay in shape and keep fit,” she told SPW Insider. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:
- Develop strong bones
- Manage your weight
- Enhance your quality of life
- Manage chronic conditions
- Sharpen your thinking skills
