Gal Ferreira (Glauce Ferreira) - Brazilian Fitness Model

Gal Ferreira by Pedro Nossol - http://www.pedronossol.com.br/

This beautiful and built young lady is Brazilian IFBB Pro Gal Ferreira.
Gal started out at the age of six in ballet, then moved into gymnastics.

She graduated in 1998 from the Federal University of Minas Gerais with a degree in Physical Education, and works as a personal trainer.
Her hobbies include ballet, soccer, African dance, gymnastics and aerobics.

Gal is also married to legendary bodybuilder Dorian Yates.

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.

(You may be familiar with another Chernivtsi native, Mila Kunis)
When she was 16, Zhanna and her family migrated to the U.S., and they settled in Seattle Washington.
While attending a community college, she joined a gym and tried several programs before deciding on weightlifting.
She really got into it and set a goal of becoming a fitness competitor, however, when the Figure division was created, she saw that as a better fit.

Kristal Marshall - IFBB Bikini Pro

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

Carmen Dura

Carmen Dura is a ACE certified personal trainer, group fitness instructor, AFC certified personal trainer, boxing coach, figure competitor, fitness model and entrepreneur.
Is that enough?
I probably missed some to be honest.
Like the fact that she does she personalized online fitness training.
Or that she runs a fitness camp for children in the Miami area?
This 5'2", 114 pound beauty has a lot on her plate, but she seems to get everything done.

She was the 1998 Alliance Fitness Corporation Fitness Instructor of the Year.
She was also a FAME 2006 Fitness Model competitor and a FAME 2007 Fitness Model competitor.

You can see a lot more of Carmen at her website here:

Ocean Bloom, Another Look

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:

Diana Tyuleneva - Fitness Model

Sometimes in doing research for this blog, I just run across a woman that is just amazing.
Fitness model, figure competitor and personal trainer Diana Tyuleneva fits that bill.
This 5' 6" 125 pound beauty from Romania is, to me, a prime example of what muscles and beauty is all about.
There are videos of her all over the web, and she's in just about every major bodybuilding forum.
And rightly so I think.
Her website www.diana-tyuleneva.com isn't up yet, but she says it soon will be.
I hope we will soon see her gracing US contests.

Fitness Competitor: Grace Rivera

Born in Puerto Rico and raised in Brooklyn New York, this beautiful young lady originally joined Bally Fitness just to get in shape.
I think it worked.

Grace has competed in the 2005 National Figure Championships (4th place), the 2005 USA Bodybuilding & Figure Championships (4th place), the 2005 Junior Nationals Bodybuilding, Figure & Fitness Championships, Figure & Fitness (13th place), The 2007 Figure National Championships (16th place), the 2007 USA Bodybuilding & Figure Championships (16th place), the 2007 Eastern USA Championships (5th place in Class B and 3rd place in Masters), the 2008 Masters National Bodybuilding Championships (35+ Class C 14th place), the 2008 USA Championships ( Figure: Class C 16th place) and the 2008 Team Universe (Class C 16th place).
Grace has also appeared in Oxygen, MuscleMag, Muscle and Fitness Hers, Muscular Development, Iron Man and Flex.

Fitness Model: Rachel Grant

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.

Pirkko Kaisanlahti-Fitness Model

This is one of the problems I run into doing this blog.
I find a fitness model like Pirkko Kaisanlahti, but except for a few pictures, I can't find out anything about her!
But, I like to try to show little know fitness models and fitness competitors as well as famous ones, so here she is.

Whatever happened to Meral Ertunc? You know'the pretty, dark-haired Turkish-born bodybuilder from Virginia who won her class at the '92 NPC Nationals, took third at the '93 Jan Tana Classic and made it to the Olympia in her first year as a pro?

Fitness model and fitness competitor: Melissa Mok

Melissa Mok

Melissa Mok was another popular fitness model and fitness competitor from the 90s.
Melissa was a bit larger than some of the other girls, but her sleek, balanced physique made her a stand out.

Melissa placed 4th at the 1995 Canadian Fitness Championships
10th at the 1996 IFBB Jan Tana Pro
8th at the Women’s World Pro Fitness Championships
And she was on the cover of the 1996 July Women's Fitness & Bodybuilding cover

Mari is also a wife, mother, personal trainer, fitness model, and spokeswoman!

Margo Napoli

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.
Margo left fitness modeling though I dont see why.
I think she could be even more popular today.

Kim McClellan - Fitness Model

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.
