Bodybuilder and Fitness competitor - Sharon Bruneau

Sharon Leigh Bruneau (born February 1, 1964) is a professional Canadian female bodybuilder and fitness competitor.

Sharon, a French-Canadian Métis, was born in the mining city of Timmins, Ontario. She began her career as a fashion model, at which she was successful until contracting a bad case of pneumonia, which caused her to lose a lot of weight.

Soon after her recovery she began training with weights to regain the weight she needed to get back to modeling. After achieving a somewhat toned build, she was rejected at model agencies for being oversized. She then decided to give up modeling and dedicate herself to bodybuilding.

Sharon became one of the most famous women in the sport, leading to frequent photo shoots and several covers for magazines like Muscle & Fitness and Flex.

Sharon retired from bodybuilding competition after the 1994 Ms. Olympia contest, switching to fitness competition. After placing 11th in the 1995 Fitness Olympia, she retired from competition completely.

Currently Bruneau is pursuing an acting career, though she still models for fitness pictorials occasionally. She has had roles in releases such as Tornado Run, Nemesis 2: Nebula, Nemesis III: Prey Harder, and R.S.V.P..

Kim Chizevsky - Female Bodybuilder, Fitness, and Figure Competitor

Kim Chizevsky is a professional female bodybuilder, fitness, and figure competitor from the United States.

Kim was born on April 23, 1968, in Mattoon, Illinois, and was raised in Decatur. Kim was a multi-sport star in high school. In addition to participating in volleyball, basketball, and cheerleading, she ran the 100, 400, 800 relay, and mile relay, threw the shot and discus, and did the long jump. She then attended Southern Illinois University, where she studied to be a paralegal. While in college, she joined the dance squad and participated in aerobics. After a couple years of dance and aerobics, a friend convinced her to try bodybuilding. Despite no training, diet, or preparation, she finished second in her first show, the 1989 NPC Tri-State, competing at 121 pounds.

Kim earned her pro card by winning the 1992 IFBB North American Championship, competing at 147 pounds. She had moderate success in her first few years of pro competition, including winning the 1993 Ms. International, but the Ms. Olympia title eluded her. Kim finally unseated six-time defending champion Lenda Murray in 1996, and started a four year reign of her own. Over the years she continued to gradually add size to her 5'8" frame; at the 1997 Ms. Olympia, she competed at 157 pounds. Kim decided to retire from bodybuilding after winning the 1999 Ms. Olympia; she began competing in fitness and figure competitions in 2001.

In 2000, Kim appeared in The Cell, which starred Jennifer Lopez.

Kim is married to Chad Nicholls, a well-know bodybuilding nutritionist and training consultant. They live in Springfield, Missouri.

Fitness Competitor - Connie Garner

Here are a couple more pictures of fitness beauty Connie Garner. 

She looked softer in the first pictures I posted but here she is in competition shape. 

Figure Competitor - Davana Medina

Full Name: Davana Medina
Birthday: January 28
Place of Birth: Ponce, Puerto Rico
Current state of Residence: Pompton Plains, New Jersey
Occupation: Figure competitor, personal trainer, and fitness model, former dental hygenist.
Marital Status: Married.
Height: 5'7"
Weight (In Season): 128-130 lbs. (Off-Season):138-142 lbs.
Eye Color: Hazel
Hair Color: Brown

Davana Medina is a professional figure competitor from the United States. To Medina is the most successful figure competitor in the short history of the sport, winning the first three Figure Olympia titles to date.

Davana was born on January 28, 1974 in Ponce, Puerto Rico. She entered and won her first figure competition, the NPC Bev Francis Atlantic States, one week after getting married.

With the support of her husband and friends Davana decided to dedicate eight weeks to her first show. She geared her training and dieting to a consistent program to get in the best shape of her life for the show. After winning her first show Davana decided to turn professional. Sadly her marriage did not last.

Davana turned professional after winning the first NPC Figure Nationals in 2001. However, there were no professional figure contests until 2003, so she was forced to take a year off from competition. She has been the most successful woman in figure competition, winning the first three Figure Olympias to date. Davana competes at 5'7" and 130 pounds, and currently lives in Pompton Plains, New Jersey.

Davana says that her biggest inspiration has been her mother, who is very dedicated to everything that she does and taught her to do the same in her life. When the going gets tough, Davana usually relies on her mom to help her get through.

Recently Davana has remarried and was set to compete in the 2006 Ms. Figure Olympia, but due to health problems she was unable to defend her title. This was meant to be her last competition as Medina had stated her desire to retire from competition to start a family with her husband. Her sponsors released a statement through her website saying:

"Davana did not compete at the 2006 IFBB Figure Olympia to defend her title for a 4th consecutive time as a medical issue came up on Monday, September 25 and she was not able to compete. This was supposed to be her last show but she is undecided whether or not she will get back on stage to compete."*

Medina's training consists of simple compound movements with mostly free weights (she rarely uses cable exercises); she also rarely uses machines. She typically trains 6 days a week in the off-season (usually two body parts per day off-season, and only one body part per day on-season).

Fitness Competitor - Kelly Ryan

Kelly Ryan (b. July 10, 1972 in Minneapolis, Minnesota) is a IFBB professional fitness competitor.

Kelly Ryan got an early start in her fitness career when, at age eight, she began to train in gymnastics. This would later serve as a foundation for other athletic activities she would become involved with in high school, such as cheerleading and basketball. After high school Kelly decided to pursue journalism at the University of South Carolina. While studying for her degree in journalism she also worked as a choreographer, which would prove very useful in her decision to become a top fitness athlete. Her first fitness competition was the NPC South Carolina State in 1995, where she placed first.

She would eventually end up winning eight fitness competitions. Her background and presence in fitness contests have made her a familiar face at fitness expositions as well as in fitness magazines.

Married to body builder, Craig Titus.

The couple are awaiting trial in Nevada on charges in the murder of their live-in assistant, Melissa James. James was alleged to have had an affair with Titus. Titus and Ryan are being tried together in the case scheduled to go to court in January of 2007. A prosecutor alleged in open court that Titus was part of a plot to murder three witnesses due to testify in the case. No charges have been filed and Titus’ defense lawyer says he doesn’t think that there is enough evidence for charges in the allegation.

The trial of co-defendant Anthony Gross on arson and accessory to murder charges was separated from the murder trial for Titus and Ryan.

Fitness instructor and competitor - Carol Semple-Marzetta

Carol Semple-Marzetta (born February 23, 1966) is a fitness instructor and competitor. In regional and national competitions, she has won 13 medals.

Carol began gymnastics training at the age of 10. Her dream was to compete in Olympics gymnastics events. However, she was found to have Osgood-Schlatter disease, a childhood condition in which the bones grow faster than the muscles they support. This, along with the financial burden associated with training, ended her dream of Olympic competition. The severe injuries she suffered in an auto accident on May 23, 1983 meant she had to give up gymnastics entirely.

She worked as a fitness instructor at a local spa during her 20s. While training there, she became aware of the Ms. National Fitness competition. After winning first or second place in various contests, in 1999 she made a career out of providing advice on training regimens and dietary supplements. As of August 2004, she manages the fitness and athletics division of Life Measure Labs, a company whose mobile units provide state-of-the-art body-composition and bone-density screening tests.

International Fitness and Swimsuit model Carmen Garcia

International Fitness and Swimsuit model Carmen Garcia

Vital Stats: 34D-24-35
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 120lbs.
Eyes: Light Brown
Hair: Brown

International Fitness and Swimsuit model Carmen Garcia was born on the beautiful Caribbean Island of Havana, Cuba. She left the island with her parents at a mere 8 months and resided in Spain for a few years before she ended up in Miami, Florida with her family.
Carmen was raised in Miami throughout her childhood and teen years. When she graduated high school, she moved to the hip South Beach area and managed a Brazilian bikini shop on South Beach where she learned Portuguese. But that was not enough for the young aspiring model and photographer. She wanted to venture to the either side of the coast, California! Carmen spent several years in San Diego while she surfed, worked and attended college for photography, fashion and business. Carmen also assisted a photographer on the side for the experience in the modeling industry.

Aspiring to become a freelance photographer and designing her own clothing line were only a few of Carmen's passions. She believes that all of her career choices all "tie in together". She'd given up on modeling years ago since South Beach only promoted tall and "waify" fashion models.

A few years after living in a mellow beach town like San Diego, Carmen decided to give Los Angeles a try into personal training and other passions. Carmen says, "I'd given up on modeling years ago because I wasn't tall or thin enough and I need a faster paced lifestyle like L.A.". When the determined Latin model moved to Los Angeles, she found a new chapter in her life that was about to unfold. She picked up a fitness magazine and saw a very shapely and toned physique on the cover. Seeing this type of cover model inspired Carmen to hit the gym even though she was already in shape, and she pursued fitness modeling as a career. Carmen found her niche as a fitness and swimsuit model so she began test shooting with local photographers as well as networking on her own. Her web site www.carmengarcia.com was built in the year 2000. The site has really helped Carmen gain an online presence that has lead to more work in other media like TV.

It wasn't long before Carmen appeared on covers of well known magazines, music videos for bands like Sugar Ray and gracing the pages of Musclemag International, Just Swimsuits, Planet Muscle, Low Rider, Hot Boats, Oye magazine, Muscular Development, Ironman and more! She's made many appearances all over the nation and has really worked hard to build her name and brand herself as a popular print model & spokesperson in the fitness industry.

Carmen is a freelance health and fitness writer, competitor, motivator and ISSA certified personal trainer
