As a fitness and bodybuilding athlete, Shi Fan made 2024 her year of triumph: she clinched 17 gold medals in 2024. She not only made history by winning the overall championships in both the Women's Bikini-Fitness and Women's Fit-Model categories of Asian Bodybuilding and Fitness Championships but also claimed the Category B and overall championships at IFBB FIT MODEL World Championships 2024 held in Lithuania. This marked the first time a Chinese athlete in a women’s fitness event has won the overall championship in a women's event. In addition, a lecturer in fitness and bodybuilding at Hubei University, her public elective course "Fitness and Bodybuilding" has become a hot ticket on campus class. Some students who initially struggled to lift an empty barbell have gradually grown into competitors capable of participating in university-level fitness competitions.


Becoming a world champion not only crowned of Shi Fan's career but also made her fulfill original intention for competing. "I want to bring the most advanced standards and training protocols of this sport to my students through high-level competitions."

Shi Fan's classes are always lively. Liu Yunpeng mentioned that she often started a lesson by talking about a common misconception. "For example, many people ask if they can specifically lose fat on their legs or belly. The teacher would explain that spot reduction is not possible and explicate the principles behind it." This teaching method, closely tied to real-life scenarios, makes the content easy to absorb.
