Sandi Stuart - IFBB Fitness Competitor

Sandi Stuart - fitness competitors

This beautiful young lady is IFBB pro Sandi Stuart.
Or I should say DOCTOR Sandi Stuart.
Yes she is an Emergency room physician in Florida.
She got her IFBB pro card at her win at the 2009 NPC Jr. USA Bodybuilding, Fitness, Figure and Bikini Championships.
But Sandi hasn't had an easy road, she suffered a hip injury back in 2007 that almost ended her fitness career.
Sandi is 5'4 and weights 138 pounds normally, but drops down to 128 for contests.

Contest History:
2007 NPC Team Universe Bodybuilding, Fitness and Figure Championships - 4th Place
2008 NPC Junior National Bodybuilding, Fitness and Figure Championships - 2nd Place
2008 NPC Team Universe Bodybuilding, Fitness and Figure National Championships - 3rd Place
2009 NPC Jr. USA Bodybuilding, Fitness, Figure and Bikini Championships - 1st Place

Photo: Rick Dobbins, http://www.myspace.com/pdpfit

Female fitness competitor and figure competitor Tanya Merryman was one of the first women I profiled here on this blog.
That was back in June of 2007.
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.

Tanya won the Fitness America Pageant title back in 1998.
And even though she has taken time off in the past, she is coming back like gangbusters now.
Even though for the moment she is sidelined with a ACL injury according to her blog.

Recent Contest History:

2007 NPC National Championships, 1st place

2008 IFBB Arnold Classic Bodybuilding, Fitness And Figure Contest, 12th place

2008 IFBB 15th Annual Sports/Fitness Weekend & Europa IFBB Super Show, 11th place

Fitness Model: Karen Pang

Fitness Model-Karen Pang

This is kind of a cross over post, as I have done a couple of write ups on fitness competitor, fitness model and swimsuit model Karen Pang over at my Asian Fitness blog.
She even came in third in the most popular women on that blog for June.
Karen stands 5'2 and weighs 107 pounds, and she can look very ripped and lean for fitness shots, and look softer for swimsuit photos.

Contest History:
2007 WNSO National Pro Champion Swimsuit Model
2007 Bikini America Top 10 Finalist
2008 Bikini Universe (Short Class) 1st Runner Up
2009 WBFF BC (Bikini) 2nd place

Amber Elizabeth Fournier

Amber Elizabeth Fournier

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.
One thing that sets her apart from most of the women featured on this blog is that Amber was raised by a missionary family in the Congo.
Yes, Africa.
She keeps her lean yet muscular build by doing kickboxing, Pilates, weight training and CrossFit.
Amber has appeared on the covers and inside fitness magazines like Oxygen, Muscle & Fitness, HERS and Mens Fitness and others.

You can find out more about Amber at her website http://www.amberliz.com/

Sherry Goggin Revisited

Sherry Goggin, fitness, fitness models

I did an entry on Sherry Goggin (Sherry Goggin Giardina) back in 2007 but this lady is definitely worth another look.
She was popular in the muscle magazines back in the 90's and she is still going strong without missing a step.
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.
http://www.sherrygoggin.com/

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

Angela Mraz

Angela Mraz-fitness

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

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
Spanish fitness competitor 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".

Joanie Laurer, Chyna

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

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.

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.

Another lady from the 90's, power lifter and fitness model Marjorie Orrante.
I dont know it this is the same Marjorie Orrante that appeared in the 1999 film" Where's George?" or not.
But I do think this the first power lifter we've featured.

Fitness Model Marie Nelson


I did a write up on fitness model Marie Nelson awhile back on my Most Beautiful Women blog, http://themostbeautifulwomen.blogspot.com/2007/01/marie-nelson.html
But I still can't find anything on this beautiful lady.
Probably one of the prettiest women on the scene back then.
