Bodybuilding career

Amateur career Martin as a little girl wanted to be a bodybuilder. Her first introduction to bodybuilding came early on when she met Lee Haney at her local church. She asked him what she needed to do to become a bodybuilder. Her mother and father loved to work out. She used to watch the women of GLOW and American Gladiators wishing she could become like them. What inspired her growing up was She-Ra from She-Ra: Princess of Power or Tigress from ThunderCats.

At the 2017 Rising Phoenix World Championships, Margie did not attend, allowing Helle Trevino to win the title.
