In her day job, Dr Amna Khan can be found inspiring the next generation as a senior lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University. In her spare time, her incredible strength has seen her break boundaries as the first British Pakistani woman to be named British Champion Powerlifter.
Dr Amna, 41, holds a British deadlift record in her weight class - lifting three times her own body weight at 158kg. Incredibly, she only started training in the gym as a way to help shape up after pregnancy six years ago.
The mum-of-two's incredible strength was immediately spotted by a trainer - and within a month she was lifting twice her own body weight. Her natural ability then began to be honed by her dedication to challenging herself to her limits.
