Andrea Dumon - Female Fitness Model
http://femalefitnessfigurebodybuilders.blogspot.com/

Another fitness beauty that is very popular on this blog is certified personal trainer, figure competitor and female fitness model Andrea Dumon.
No, Andrea isn't from Canada or Brazil, she's from Walla Walla Washington, and she grew up in the Tacoma/Seattle area.
This is actually the third write up I have done on this beautiful lady since 2007.

Andrea's contest history:
2005 NPC USA Bodybuilding and Figure - 1st place
2006 IFBB San Francisco Pro - 3rd place
2006 IFBB Shawn Ray Colorado Pro - 16th place

Alas, the last competition I can find listed for Andrea is the 2009 IFBB Sacramento, so I guess she is retired from competition.

Besides competing, she has appeared in fitness magazines like Oxygen, Muscular Development, Muscle and Fitness and many more.

While Heather does have some size as I said before, this five foot five, 133 pound fitness beauty also has the sleekness that harkens back to ladies like Cory Everson.

It's hard to get just the right blend, but Heather does it.
Besides being a figure competitor and fitness model, Heather is also a Hair Stylist and Master Esthetician.

Brittany Beede - Jamie Keyes - Fitness Model

2011-12-04T12:12:00.003-05:00

Brittany Beede - Jamie Keyes - Fitness Model
http://femalefitnessfigurebodybuilders.blogspot.com/

If you keep up with WWE wrestling at all, you may have seen the stunning fitness model Brittany Beede on the third season of NXT as Jamie Keyes.
When I first saw her I thought, "You know Aksana is a former bodybuilder, fitness model and personal trainer, but Jamie looks way more cut-up than she does."
I just knew she was gonna be at least in the finals with that physique, but she was the very first Diva to be eliminated from the competition.
I know pro wrestling is fake, but they rigged this too?
How do I know it was rigged?
Well just look at her!

Tell me she would have not made a great WWE Diva given the training.
Unbeknownst to me at the time, she already did have a little training.

Brittany started out as a kid with gymnastics, dance, tennis, volleyball, boxing, track and field, karate, weightlifting and cheer leading.
Yes boxing and karate, she already had a martial arts background.

Then she became a model as she worked her way through nursing school.
Wrestlicious saw her first and wanted her as their ring announcer (again...let her wrestle!)
But then oddly enough she showed up not in Wrestlicious, but TNA managing Kevin Nash at the 2009 Final Resolution pay-per-view.
Then WWE saw her pics at Wrestlicious and signed her.
I'm guessing John Laurinaitis saw her.

This led to her begin trained as a wrestler by Steve Keirn and her showing up on FCW and NXT.
But like I said, she was the first Diva eliminated.

But forget wrestling, this lady could be a real threat in IFBB Figure or IFBB Bikini either one.
Maybe she could pull an Aksana, win a bunch of competitions and have the WWE come crawling back to her.

In case you are not familiar with IFPA, it's the International Fitness and Physique Association that sponsors professional level natural competition.

Well at least I have read that she was a IFPA Figure Pro.
I went to the IFPA and couldn't find a thing on her.
Maybe she is just no longer competing.

Either way, finding any info on her is like looking for Bigfoot.
I got some pictures...but no real proof.

Savannah Rose - Fitness Model
(http://femalefitnessfigurebodybuilders.blogspot.com/)

This is one of those things I hate about doing this blog.
I ran across a picture of Savannah Rose on Tumbler and I can't find a thing about her other than pictures.
I say "Fitness Model" in the title because she is fit and she looks like a model.
But that's about all I have to go on.
All I could find were a few pics from around the web, but I have a feeling we'll be seeing more of her soon.

I just finished doing a write up on the 2011 IFBB Figure Pros (like I did with the IFBB Bikini Pros) and in doing that write up, one woman stood out over all the others.
That woman is certified personal trainer and fitness and figure competitor Nicole Wilkins.
Yeah I know I just did a write up on her in January, but this five foot seven, 144 pound fitness beauty stood head and shoulders above the rest.
In 2011 she competed four times, and she came in first place in all four contests.
And two of them were the biggest contests in the world, the Arnold Classic (Arnold Fitness Weekend) and the Olympia (Joe Weider's Olympia Weekend).
This is the second time Nicole has won the Figure International and the second time she won the Figure Olympia (though not in a row, Erin Stern won last year).

Andressa Vieira - Brazilian Fitness Beauty

2011-02-01T11:02:00.004-05:00

This is stunning Brazilian figure competitor and fitness model Eva Andressa Vieira.
I think she is absolutely gorgeous and she reminds me of a cross between Danica Patrick and TNA Knockout Sarita (Sarah Stock or Dark Angel for all you lucha libre fans out there).
I've read that she competes in figure, but it looks like with just a bit more mass, she could do bodybuilding easy.
But why mess with a good thing right?
This five foot nine fitness beauty started lifting weights because she felt she was too thin and wanted to improve her figure.
I think it worked!

Andressa Vieira's Female Fitness Competitions
2005 - Champion Paranaense Figure - NABBA
2006 - Brazilian Champion Figure - NABBA
2006 - Champion Paranaense Figure - NABBA
2008 - Champion Brazilian Body Fitness - IFBB

I know she has been in competitions in other countries (she won the IFBB South American Bodyfitness and IFBB World Bodyfitness Championships), but the only US competition I can find is the 2008 IFBB Arnold Classic Bodybuilding, Fitness And Figure Contest where she came in 9th place.

Jelena (also known as Jelena Djordjevic) was born on April 2nd, 1977 in Gornji Milanovac, Serbia.
This gorgeous figure competitor, fitness model and certified personal trainer, now lives in the US, having left Serbia when she was 20 years old.

Kristal Marshall - IFBB Bikini Pro

2010-05-23T10:58:00.005-05:00

This isn’t my first write up on the lovely Kristal Marshall by a long shot.
Back when she was in the WWE, I did several write up on her connected with wrestling.
But Kristal left the WWE, had a baby, and is now officially an IFBB Bikini Pro.

Kristal was born on November 11, 1983 in Los Angeles, California and you may know of her boyfriend (and the father of her baby) former collegiate amateur wrestler, former pro wrestler and mixed martial arts fighter Bobby Lashley.
(Bobby and Kristal were married in 2008, but split in April of 2010, but according to Kristal, they are still friends)

Before going to work for the WWE, Kristal competed in the 2004 Miss California pageant, she was a model for Deal or No Deal (she was the opening week model for case number five in season one) , she appeared in music videos by 50 Cent and Ma$e and was a Barker Beauty on The Price Is Right.

Kristal got into the WWE through the 2005 Raw Diva Search (she finished fourth), and the WWE liked what they saw, and Kristal was signed to a developmental contact and sent to Deep South Wrestling for training.

In December 2005, she joined the SmackDown! Roster as a backstage correspondent, but eventually made her way into the ring, having feuds with Jillian Hall, Ashley Massaro and Layla El before being released by the WWE in 2007.

She and Bobby made a few brief appearances in TNA, but nothing really came of that.

But now, as I said, Kristal is an IFBB Bikini Pro, she is looking amazing and she has done quite well for herself so far in competition....

2009 NPC Arnold Amateur Championships - 2nd Place
2009 NPC USA Bodybuilding & Figure Championships - 1st Place
2010 IFBB New York Pro Bodybuilding & Bikini Championships - 4th Place

Fitness Females - Margi Faze

2010-04-21T09:48:00.006-05:00

This gorgeous young lady is stay at home mom of three AND fitness model Margi Faze from Nevada.
Yes, you read that right...mother of three!
Every now and then I get to do an entry on one of these fitness beauties that is really inspirational, and this is one of those times.
Marge didn't start on her path of becoming a fitness model until she was thirty five.
And that was after her three kids were born.
I think this may be the first lady I have done a write up on here whose transformation story is so amazing that the Washington Times interviewed her about it.

Margi's goal wasn't to go into fitness modeling, or become a female fitness competitor.
She just wanted to get in shape.
But look at her now.
I would say that she more than succeeded.
She recently won her class at the Miss Bikini America contest and she won the Body for Life Grand Master Championship.

Margi is a perfect example that you can do anything you set your mind to.

Mary Jarmolowich - Fitness Beauty

2010-02-24T18:21:00.004-05:00

I did a write up on fitness model and bikini competitor Mary Jarmolowich over on my other fitness beauties blog awhile back and she is one of the most popular women there.
So why not spread the love?
I hate to use the term "perfect" because everyone has their own idea of what a perfect build is.
But in my eyes, Mary comes pretty darn close!

She took first place at the FAME Sin City Bikini contest in 2008, and also in 2008 she competed in the FLEX Magazine Bikini Contest taking third place.
In 2009, she placed 7th at the WBFF Worlds -Pro Diva Fitness Model competition.
In 2010 Mary placed 16th at the NPC USA Championships, 2nd at the 2010 NPC West Coast Classic Bodybuilding, Figure & Bikini Championships and 4th at the 2010 NPC Nevada State Championships.
Besides competing in fitness/bikini competitions, Mary is also a marathon runner.

More Adela Garcia

2010-02-03T15:46:00.002-05:00

I did a write up on IFBB professional fitness competitor Adela Garcia way back in April of 2007.
So after three years, isn't it about time for another one?

Adela was born on December 1st, 1971, in Cabrera, Dominican Republic and then her family moved to San Juan, Puerto Rico when she was eight years old.
She played softball, volleyball, and basketball when she was in school. then started weight training at seventeen.

Before Adela got her IFBB pro card, she competed in numerous events....

1995 NPC Europa Sports Fitness Championship - 2nd place
1996 NPC National Fitness Championship - 12th place
1996 NPC Pennsylvania Fitness Championship - 4th place
1998 NPC USA Fitness Championship - 9th place (short class)
1998 NPC National Fitness Championship - 8th place (short class)
1998 IFBB North American Fitness Championship - 6th place (short class)
1998 NPC Junior National Fitness Championship - 2nd place (short class)

When Adela won the the NPC USA Fitness Championships in 1999, she got her pro card and went on to compete in many events, getting first place at the 2002 IFBB New York Pro Fitness, the 2002 IFBB Atlantic States Pro Fitness, the 2002 IFBB Pittsburgh Pro Fitness, the 2003 IFBB New York Pro Fitness, the 2004 IFBB Fitness International, the 2004 IFBB Fitness Olympia, the 2006 IFBB Fitness International, the 2005 IFBB Sacramento Pro Fitness, the 2006 IFBB Fitness International, the 2006 IFBB Fitness Olympia, the 2007 IFBB Europa Super and the 2007 IFBB Fitness Olympia.

But as the late Billy Mays used to say "That's not all!"
Adela took off a couple of years and came back in a big way winning the 2009 IFBB Europa Super Show & Supplement Expo and the 2009 IFBB Olympia.
So fourteen years after coming in second at the 1995 NPC Europa Sports Fitness Championship, she wins two of the biggest fitness competitions in the world!
This five foot one, 110 pound fitness beauty is amazing to say the least.
And I didn't mention that Adela was recently named number one on the IFBB's list of the top 100 fitness competitors.

If you want to see more of Adela, you can check out her website here:

2. Lisa Lowe
Another lady that I did a Hub Page on is the beautiful 90s fitness star Lisa Lowe.

4. Anna Merchan
Female fitness competitor and fitness model Anna Merchan came in at number four.

5. Jackie Roberts
FAME Bikini Model Pro, Women's Tri-Fitness Athlete, ON/ABB Sponsored Athlete, fitness model, swimwear model and a personal fitness trainer Jackie Roberts came in at number five.

Fitness Model - Alexis Ray Thompson

2009-09-14T14:00:00.002-05:00

Alexis Ray Thompson is the (believe it or not) mother of three boys and she's also (believe it or not) 45 years old!
Alexis overcame a severe car wreck and brought herself up to the level that she is today.
This 5' 5", 120 pound redhead from Cincinnati, Ohio should set an example that you can do anything if you commit your mind and body.
Had kids...check
Over 40...check
Severe accident...check
And look at her now!
The above picture is good, but go to her Model Mayhem page and take a look at the photos if you really want to see just how cut and ripped this lady is.
Hint: The pool table picture is almost as close to perfection as you are gonna see.

This absolutely stunning young lady is fitness competitor, fitness model, glamor model and three time Colombian Fitness Champion, Norma Carrasquilla.

I do know she was born on May 8th, 1908, she's 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 130 well placed pounds.
I read that she was a three time Colombian Fitness Champion, but I cant find out what championships they were, so that kinda eliminates the contest history section.

But, if you want to keep up with her, you can check out her website here:

Female fitness competitor and figure competitor Tanya Merryman was one of the first women I profiled here on this blog.

Actually I did my first entry on her on my Beautiful Women blog back in February of 2007.
But where a lot of fitness models fade away, Tanya has come back stronger than ever.

Fitness Model, Cassandra Hope

2009-08-10T11:29:00.005-05:00

This beautiful young lady is fitness model Cassandra Hope.

Cassandra is from Toronto, Ontario, Canada ( I still say they are doing some kind of genetic engineering up there).
She is 5'4 and weighs 125.
I think she is gorgeous, but to compete (and she does) she may have to get a bit more ripped to get the judge's attention.
I don't think she has any trouble getting attention from anyone else though.

Cassandra doesn't have her personal site up yet, but you can find out more about her at her ModelMayhem.com page here:

Female Fitness Model, Jennifer Nicole Lee

2009-08-03T09:50:00.003-05:00

This is the third time Jennifer Nicole Lee has shown up on this blog.
Heck, I could probably do a whole blog on just her.
Besides having an amazing physique, she has this animal intenstiy in her pictures.
I guess that's what got her the nickname "La Tigre".
Not content to just appear on the covers of over 30 magazines as a fitness model, Jennifer is also celebrity trainer, lifestyle and wellness expert and author.
Of course if you know anything about Jennifer, you have heard the story of how she lost 80 pounds after the birth of her children and got into the shape she's in today.
Which is incredible.

Jennifer is the official spokesperson for Ab Circle Pro, and she will be making two appearances on HSN, Sunday August 9th at 9:00 am, 2:00 pm and 9:00 pm EST and again on Monday August 10th at 9:00 am, and 8:00 pm EST.

I've done one write up already on the stunning Amber Elizabeth Fournier on my other fitness blog, Female Fitness and Bodybuilding Beauties, but this incredible young lady deserves more than one look I think.

Sherry Goggin Revisited

2009-05-12T12:47:00.005-05:00

I did an entry on Sherry Goggin (Sherry Goggin Giardina) back in 2007 but this lady is definitely worth another look.
She was popular doing fitness modeling in the muscle magazines back in the 90's and she is still going strong without missing a step.
Check out her Model Mayhem page if you have any doubts.
Sherry is a Ms. Fitness America Champion from Chattanooga, Tennessee and she has an incredible lean, shapely and muscular physique.
She is an actress, spokesmodel, real estate agent, and the VP of the Trainers Association.
Sherry has appeared in Physical, Ironman, Oxygen and BUILT magazines among many more.
This 5'6", 108 pound beauty is not one to just sit around. Visit her website and look at all the things she is doing right now.

And did you know that she was a contestant on the original "American Gladiators" back in 1991?

Angela Mraz

2009-05-04T11:19:00.000-05:00

This beautiful young lady is figure champion, personal trainer, and model Angela Mraz.
Angela has had a stunning career with the WNBF in the past, but now that organization has banned her.
Hard to believe isn't it?
Look at part of her contest history.....
2001 - Northern NJ NPC Classic (1st Place)
2001 - Southern NJ NPC Classic (1st Place)
2001 - Golds Classic (1st Place)
2002 - NPC Jr. USA Nationals (1st Overall)
2002 - NPC Team Universe (8th Place)
2005 - 1st Place, INBF Figure Division
2005 - 1st Place, WNBF Figure Champion
2005 - 1st Place, Best Body Award
2005 - 1st Place, WNBF and Ms. Exercise Worlds
2006 - 1st Place, WNBF North East Championships
2006 - 1st Place, WNBF Ms. Exercise Worlds

See all those 1st place wins?
Well the WNBF banned her for appearing in a magazine they didn't publish.
I would have looked at it as good PR, but they didn't.

If you don't think their treatment of Angela is fair, you can contact the WNBF here:
http://www.wnbf.net/contact.html
But remember, if you do, the best path to take is to be respectful and state why you disagree with this decision.

Nora Girones - Bodybuilder

2009-03-19T12:08:00.004-05:00

Spanish Bodybuilder Nora Girones.

Nora Girones went from singing to bodybuilding.
I don't think that's a transition we've had on here before.
Usually it's gymnast or swimmer or something like that.
She appeared on "Popstars", pretty much the Spanish equivalent of "American Idol".

Cory Everson Revisited

2009-03-02T11:49:00.005-05:00

This is Corey (Cory) Everson's third appearance on this blog and I think rightly so.

Retiring from competition after winning six consecutive Ms. Olympia titles, Cory tried her hand at acting.
Her first film appearance was in the 1986 movie "The Morning After" as Miss Olympia.
Double Impact in 1991 was her second movie. In that movie, she played Kara, a ruthless, muscular henchwoman to the main badguy.
In 1994, she was in Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers as the TV Mallory.
She appeared in the 1995 film Ballistic. (Not the 2002 film with Antonio Banderas and Lucy Liu.)
In 1996, she was in the movie Felony as Sondra with B-movie legends (and two of my favorite actors) Jeffrey Combs and Lance Henriksen.

On TV, Cory appeared twice as Katrina Schwenke in The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. (starring another of my favorite actors, Bruce Campbell).
She also appeared in Renegade, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys (three times as Atalanta), Tarzan: The Epic Adventures, Home Improvement and Charmed as the Hulk Paige.

Of course Cory was the original host of the ESPN2 fitness show, BodyShaping that also included Deprise Brescia, Kiana Tom, Jennifer Dempster, Rick Valente, Kendell Hogan, Mary Jean Traetta and Laurie Donnelly.

And for awhile she had her own exercise show on ESPN, Cory Everson's Gotta Sweat.

Joanie Laurer, Chyna

2009-02-28T18:18:00.000-05:00

Before she became the "The Ninth Wonder of the World" Joanie Laurer aka Chyna tried her hand at fitness competitions.
According to everything I've read, she didn't do well, but I think that's because with her size and build, she should have focused on Bodybuilding instead.
But the fitness worlds loss was pro wrestling's gain and she soon appeared on the then WWF as Triple H's bodyguard valet.

Joanie started out lifting weights and working out as a way to get away from the domestic turmoil at home.
But it wasn't really until she met Gerry Blais, a bodybuilder at World Gym in Londonderry, New Hampshire that things took off for her.
She dove into training and entered fitness competitions.
The only ones I could really find were the 1994 ESPN Fitness America Competition and the 1996 New York City regional of the Fitness America Pageant.

2009-02-28T15:27:00.001-05:00

Ocean Bloom, Another Look

2009-02-24T13:54:00.002-05:00

And here we have actress, certified personal trainer, yoga instructor, female fitness model and fitness champion, Ocean Bloom.
Ocean is one of those women that have been able to combine size with a sleek, powerful physique.
The last time I featured her I didn't say much about the movie work this beautiful lady has done, so let me correct that.
She appeared in "Stargate SG-1" four times, three of those were as a female Jaffa.
If you watched Stargate you know what a Jaffa is.
If you didn't watch it, think "Female Warrior".
Ocean has also appeared in "Psych" twice and she appeared in the 2002 movie I Spy.

In print, Ocean has appeared in in Musclemag, Ironman, Oxygen, Natural Bodybuilding, Woman’s Physique World, Healthy Living Guide and Shared Vision.

Ocean has a long contest history in women's fitness competitions starting with a 1st place win in the 1997 BodyMax Bodybuilding competition.
That was followed by 1st place wins at the 1997 BC Junior Bodybuilding Championship, the 1998 BC Fitness competition, the 2000 World Natural Sports Fitness competition, the 2003 Fitness America West, the 2005 FAME World's Pro Fitness, the 2007 FAME Naturals Pro Figure and the 2007 FAME National Muscle.

Ocean is very involved in personal training now as you can see at her website:
