I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA and attended college at the University of Delaware before settling in New York City. I've always been interested in Fitness and I recently started competing in May 2010, where I won my first competition! I work full time as a CPA and I also cheer for the NBA.

I am a 39 year old wife, fitness model, IFBB Bikini Pro and owner/director/coach at Leong Tennis Academy. After retiring from playing professional tennis, I went on to coaching and mentoring high performance junior tennis players. Training and competing at a very high level for most of my life was no longer an option and it was not the easiest adjustment for me. I went from being super active to being completely withdrawn from any physical activity and my mind and body suffered. Coaching young players gave me some sense of fulfillment however, there was still that void in my life that was missing and needed to be filled. Thankfully, I was introduced to the sport of bodybuilding and in this sport, I discovered it had no limits. I began competing in NPC Bikini in April of 2009. Being the first bikini competitor in the Pacific Northwest to be awarded the coveted IFBB Pro Status in September 2010 at the IFBB North American Championships and it was truly a blessing and an accomplishment that I will always be proud of. I am so grateful for the opportunity to once again compete at a high level, with a purpose. This is my new sport and I am loving every minute of it! I am living proof that anything is possible and that choosing to live a fit and healthy lifestyle can be done no matter where you are in your life and how old you are.

I have been in the fitness industry for over 20 years. Starting out as a hungry young bodybuilder, I was eager to learn everything I could about being the best I could be. I am now 38 years old, married with two beautiful children and living in a small town in Washington State. I have many years as a competitive bodybuilder, motocross racer and now competitive jiu-jitsu and submission fighting. I have won up the NPC state championship level in bodybuilding, won multiple off road motocross races and as well as the Seattle Abu Dhabi regional Jiu-Jitsu championships in my division. I have a new passion for mixed martial arts and am thankful at my age that there are such fantastic developments in supplementation to help me stay competitive and focus on pursuing my goals. Thank you to everyone at Team NutriShop for their support.

I've always been a successful model, actress, author and Host (MTV VJ) in my native homeland of Australia. After having my son 3 years ago I gained a lot of weight and lost my identity. I never thought I would work again. Eight months ago I was sluggish, overweight, not exercising, not supplementing, not eating well and not looking or feeling pretty. So I made a choice to change my lifestyle. I gave up smoking (after smoking for 25 years), starting exercising regularly, changed my diet and started researching the best nutritional supplements available. I committed myself to the gym 6 days a week and then started training hard for a my first bikini competition which definitely helped me get my mojo back! I love being a mom, but now I am back working as as a fitness model and spokesperson. I hope to share my story and help inspire other moms to not get discouraged or give up on their dreams, passions and goals.

I am 29 years old, born in Miami Florida and married with no children. I currently reside in Las Vegas, Nevada. I am a certified personal trainer for Gold's Gym , certified EMT-I and an NPC national figure competitor. I won the Overall title for the Las Vegas Classic, placed 2nd in the CA State Championships, San Diego Championships, Orange County Classic, and Muscle Contest Championships and placed 3rd in the NV State Championships. I am currently getting ready to compete at the NPC USA and NPC National.

I'm a single mother to one beautiful 17 year old daughter. I own my own business: (www.dustina-alley.com) Ardeur: beauty, fitness & glamour coaching. I coach fitness and nutrition helping women learn how to take care of themselves and their families. I help with hair, make-up and fashion for photo shoots, competitions and other special events. I've competed in 6 shows; top 5 in all shows and took 4th at Fitness America Pageant nationals in 2006. My next show dates are Oct. 8th and Nov. 16th, 2011. I have big plans for 2012 and competitions.

I was born and raised in a small town in Kansas. I am married with no children yet. I am an army wife and hoping to move to the coast and start a family. I have always been an athlete, playing volleyball, basketball and running track in high school. Having a passion for health and fitness, I entered nursing school and received my Bachelors of Nursing degree from Baker University. I am also an ISSA Certified Fitness Trainer, Specialist in Fitness Nutrition and co-owner of AMPT Fitness.

I have been into fitness since I was 17. Like every kid I wanted the 6 pack abs that the fitness models in the magazines had. So, in 2007 I made my move and headed out to Southern California hoping to break into the fitness industry. Four years later I have achieved my dreams as a national competitor in the new NPC Men's Physique Division, a pro wrestler with the LA Templars in the Territory League Wrestling Federation and a fitness model. Between working at a night club in Hollywood as a bouncer, wrestling training and training for my next NPC competition in hopes of earning my pro card, fitness has become my life day in and day out. To date, I have competed in 8 competitions since 2007; five bodybuilding and three Men's Physique competitions, with three 1st place class titles and one overall award. I will always be striving to improve my body and mind through exercise and fitness. Nutrishop's approach and broad selection of quality nutritional supplements has been integral in my journey and I am excited to continue that journey and share what I've learned as I work to reach new levels. You can see me in action at www.territoryleague.com, follow me on Twitter @scottanthony81 or check me out on Facebook.

I am a true So Cal girl through and through! I am married to the love of my life, have two amazing boys ages 11 and 9. I work as a skin care therapist and enjoy helping others feel beautiful and more confident. My favorite thing in the world is spending time with my family and being at the beach. Physical Fitness has always played a major role in my life. I am thankful for parents that emphasized the importance of a healthy active lifestyle and for me putting me in sports and dancing at a very young age. I have competed in marathons and sprint triathalons. I have recently took up weight training and while it is challenging in a much different way than prior training, I am finding it to be just as rewarding.

I was born in Milan, Italy and moved to the U.S. in 2006 to finish my studies and start my fitness and modeling career. I have competed in Fitness Amercia, Muscle Beach Int's Classic (3rd place) and FAME and have also been featured in Oxygen Magazine. Today I am a personal trainer and still competing in figure competitions.

I worked successfully for over 15 years as a professional choreographer and dance director. I also trained in various forms of martial arts such as Karate, Tae Kwon Do and Muy Thai. I am a single mother of 3 who once weighed over 200 pounds! I took my passion for health and fitness, developing 3 innovative formats that are literally changing the face of group fitness as we know it. I have been featured on shows such as Dr. Oz., Shark Tank, Fitceleb, OnAair, Good Day Utah, KTLA, KUSI, KABC and Fox news. My genuine love for helping people led me to develop the first Southern California Health and Fitness Expo which was held in Spring 2011.

I specialize in cellular detoxification and weight loss, whole food nutrition and fitness. I ran cross-country and track at NDSU in Fargo, ND. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Northwestern Health Sciences University in 2007, was Ms. Fitness MN 2010 and Top 3 Miss Fitness Universe. I have a beautiful 7-year-old daughter, McKenna. I recently teamed up with fitness specialist John Oliver, BS, MS, CSCS in Tampa, Fl to create the largest online health and wellness community committed to providing personal inspiration and support through their education and certifications, DRJOLT.com.

I've been involved in the Fitness industry from the time I turned 19 years old. I'm now 32 years old and currently a Master personal trainer in South Orange County, CA with more than 10 years of experience. I'm also a competitive bodybuilder. I won the 2011 San Diego in 4 classes, Men's Open Heavyweight, Men's Novice Heavyweight, Men's Open Overall and Men's Novice Overall. This is a new record for the San Diego NPC contest and I'm proud to say that with the help of Nutrishop and the incredible products they offer, I beat every single competitor out of almost 70 guys. I'm a huge fan of the Cell Shock Research brand and suggest their products to all of my clients.

I'm a 40 year old single mom with an ultra full, busy life. Balance is the most important daily goal- being an excellent parent, acheiving success at work and running a household efficiently along with taking care of myself mentally and physically. I'm a loan officer with Resource One Mortgage in Baton Rouge and also own an online vintage clothing shoppe called The Lady Wore Vintage. I'm raising a 16 year old musician and a 6 year old diva as well as an 180lb English Mastiff and his boss, a Pomeranian named Taco. I've had a fabulous time competing in both NPC and FAP and FUP, have placed 2nd in the LA State Championships, and Top 5 in both the Model and Bikini divisions of the Fitness Atlantic. I'm currently focusing my efforts on family & career... but don't ever count me out as a competitor in the future!

I am a mother of 3 with a career in Real Estate. My most important role is wife to John and mother to J.T. (7 years old) and twins Walker and Caroline (4 years old). I struggled with the demands of family obligations and professional responsibilities and soon realized it was time to make some fundamental changes in the way I was taking care of myself. I could not be a good wife, mother and professional without first being a strong and healthy woman. After giving birth to the twins, 40 lbs needed to be lost! I made a New Year's Resolution in 2009 to get healthy and to get my family healthy. I have gone on to win the Bikini Universe in 2010 and earn my WBFF Pro Card. My story has been featured in Natural Muscle, Oxygen, Status, Success, and Ultra Fit Magazine. You can find me at GretchenColey.com.

I work as a senior designer for a global consulting firm with 18 years of design experience I am new to the fitness industry as of this year. I have competed in three shows so far and placed third for Fitness Model and Ms. Bikini at the DC Tournament of Champions. My goal is to inspire women of all ages to take charge of their health and prove that beauty doesn't have an expiration date. My biggest passions include spending time with family including two nieces and three nephews as well as volunteer work. I recently helped to raise money to feed New York city's hungry men, women and children.

I am extremely blessed to have my daily life filled with my two loves; family and fitness. My husband, Zack, and I have been married for 10 years and we have two children; Talia, 7 and Xavier, 5. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Kent State University with a Bachelor in Science degree and I am a certified personal trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. In addition to being a personal trainer, I am a fitness model, a messenger for Mondetta Performance Gear and a fitness competitor. I first started competing in 2009 where I placed 1st in Figure in North Carolina. I then decided to compete in bikini in 2010 and I placed 1st in North Carolina and 4th at Nationals in Atlanta, Georgia. I am competing again at Nationals in Miami, Florida in November 2011!

At the age of 23, I am currently enlisted in The United States Navy. My rate is an Aviation Structure Mechanic "AM" and I have been in for just over 4 years. AM was not my original choice for my Military career, I wanted to be a Deep Sea Diver but unfortunately I was diagnosed with Compartment Syndrome in both Calves. This lead me to dis-enrollment from the SpecOps program. Although I was not happy with this, as soon as I recovered from my surgeries I was right back to training. I do thank the Military for helping me gain the discipline and maturity that I have today. I am currently employed at Nutrishop in San Diego. I have never had a career that I was so passionate about. Helping others with their fitness goals is an accomplishment that I will continue to do for as long as possible. I am currently in the process of obtaining my personal training and sports nutrition certifications. In time I will use my G.I. Bill through the military to earn a degree in the field of Health and Fitness. In 2011 I have competed in 3 bodybuilding shows and I have 1 more planned. next stop, the Light Heavy Weight Division.
