Aeryon has fitness in her blood, as her father was an amateur bodybuilder and her mother was a figure skating coach.

Fitness model Marzia Prince

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

This is one of those fitness models I could devote an entire blog to.
Marzia Prince was born in Dallas, Texas.
She is a fitness model, but she has a LOT more cred than that.
Mariza is a (take a deep breath) Cooper Certified Personal Trainer, a Physical Fitness Specialist, a Pre/Postnatal Fitness Instructor, trained in the Biomechanics of Resistance Training, a Fitness Specialist for Older Adults (65+), she has her Nutrition Certification and is CPR Certified!
That's besides being drop dead gorgeous!
Did I mention that back in May she won the The Lyzabeth Lopex Fame Classic Bikini Competition?
And she's also the magazine model for Gaspari Nutrition.
I wonder if I left anything out?
Oh yeah, her sister is a model also, Lisa Chandler aka Alizia Gutierrez.

You can see more Marzia here.

Fitness Model: Rachel Robertson

female fitness model, female fitness models

This beautiful fitness model was in MuscleMag International.
And she is a former lifeguard.
As with a lot of fitness models from the 80s and 90s, she seems to have just disappeared.
Some go on to become personal trainers or even in some cases doctors.
But some I just can't find any trace of.

Fitness Model: Rachel Grant

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Rachel Grant was a fitness model back in the 1990's.
Again she seems to have vanished.
But in the 90s she appeared in Muscle and Fitness and various other fitness magazines.
That wild mane of blond hair and her blue-gray eyes made her very popular.
Now a search for Rachel Grant gives you the actress Rachel Grant.
Very attractive woman, but not the same one.

Monica Brant, Fitness Legend?

Monica Brant, female bodybuilder

It's been a while since we've had a Monica Brant entry, so I though we were overdue.
This lady has creds that go from a win at the 1991 Fitness USA Preliminary, to placing 7th at the 2007 Figure Olympia.
And unlike a lot of other female fitness models from the 90's, she hasn't disappeared.
Her website, http://www.monicabrant.com/, is still active and growing.
Is it too early to apply the term " fitness legend"?

This is probably my favorite fitness model of all time, Margo Napoli.
She lacked the bulk of some models, but she was lean, ripped and cut up.

Lisa Marie Varon / Victoria

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
Lisa Marie then......

Today we have another WWE related post.
Lisa Marie Varon may be better known to some of you under her ring name, Victoria.
But before she was in the WWE, Lisa did fitness competition and modeling.

Lisa was born in San Bernardino, California, and she attended Eisenhower High School in Rialto, California. In high school, she was active in cheerleading, a sport she competed in since the sixth grade. During her senior year in high school, she was nationally recognized by the National Cheerleading Association, earning an All-American award for cheerleading and being chosen to cheer at half-time of the NFL Pro Bowl alongside seventy other women. Varon also participated in track and field events in the ninth grade. After graduation, she studied biology at the University of California, Los Angeles and medicine at Loma Linda University, with career plans of becoming a physician. She worked as a Human Tissue Coordinator at the Inland Eye and Tissue Bank in Redlands, California, where she was involved in the process of organ donation.

While still working at the eye and tissue bank, Lisa also become a personal trainer and taught aerobics. While training at a gym, she was offered an opportunity to compete in a bodybuilding competition, a contest she won as a middleweight. She competed in fitness competitions such as ESPN2's Fitness America Series in 1997 and 1998, winning the former, and the Miss Galaxy Competition in 1998, where she met and befriended Torrie Wilson. After Wilson moved to Los Angeles, California and signed with professional wrestling promotion World Championship Wrestling (WCW), she invited Varon to one of the shows. While backstage, an agent asked her to appear in a segment with Scott Hall. Through Wilson, Varon unsuccessfully attempted to obtain a contract with WCW. She later moved to Los Angeles to find work in televised news fitness segments instead. In 1999, she earned her International Federation of BodyBuilders Professional Fitness Card after placing second at the National Physique Committee Team Universe show in New York. It was during her time working in fitness competitions that Varon also first met Trish Stratus.

After moving to Los Angeles, Varon worked as a trainer at the gym Crunch Fitness, where she met World Wrestling Federation wrestler Chyna, who complimented Varon on her appearance and encouraged her to become a wrestler.

Kim McClellan

This five foot six,130 pound, green eyed, blond haired fitness model looks like she leaned more towards bodybuilding than fitness.
Even while staying sleek, she also had a respectable amount of bulk to her.
Unfortunately, like many of the other fitness models from the 80s and 90s, she seems to have vanished from the net.
