Seon-hwa Hwang - Korean Fitness Beauty

Here is a stunning Korean fitness beauty I can find almost nothing about.

But pictures is all I can find.
It's a shame too, because look at her!

Fitness Females - Margi Faze

This gorgeous young lady is stay at home mom of three AND fitness model Margi Faze from Nevada.
Yes, you read that right...mother of three!
Every now and then I get to do an entry on one of these fitness beauties that is really inspirational, and this is one of those times.
Marge didn't start on her path of becoming a fitness model until she was thirty five.
And that was after her three kids were born.
I think this may be the first lady I have done a write up on here whose transformation story is so amazing that the Washington Times interviewed her about it.



Margi's goal wasn't to go into fitness modeling, or become a female fitness competitor.
She just wanted to get in shape.
But look at her now.
I would say that she more than succeeded.
She recently won her class at the Miss Bikini America contest and she won the Body for Life Grand Master Championship.


Margi is a perfect example that you can do anything you set your mind to.

Mary Jarmolowich - Fitness Beauty

I did a write up on fitness model and bikini competitor Mary Jarmolowich over on my other fitness beauties blog awhile back and she is one of the most popular women there.
So why not spread the love?
I hate to use the term "perfect" because everyone has their own idea of what a perfect build is.
But in my eyes, Mary comes pretty darn close!



She took first place at the FAME Sin City Bikini contest in 2008, and also in 2008 she competed in the FLEX Magazine Bikini Contest taking third place.
In 2009, she placed 7th at the WBFF Worlds -Pro Diva Fitness Model competition.
In 2010 Mary placed 16th at the NPC USA Championships, 2nd at the 2010 NPC West Coast Classic Bodybuilding, Figure & Bikini Championships and 4th at the 2010 NPC Nevada State Championships.
Besides competing in fitness/bikini competitions, Mary is also a marathon runner.
She is studying for her ISSA personal training certification and is also working on a certification in nutrition as well.

Fitness Model - Alexis Ray Thompson

Alexis Ray Thompson is the (believe it or not) mother of three boys and she's also (believe it or not) 45 years old!
Alexis overcame a severe car wreck and brought herself up to the level that she is today.
This 5' 5", 120 pound redhead from Cincinnati, Ohio should set an example that you can do anything if you commit your mind and body.
Had kids...check
Over 40...check
Severe accident...check
And look at her now!
The above picture is good, but go to her Model Mayhem page and take a look at the photos if you really want to see just how cut and ripped this lady is.
Hint: The pool table picture is almost as close to perfection as you are gonna see.

Contest History:
Miss Cincinnati 1999

Norma Carrasquilla - Female Fitness Competitor

This absolutely stunning young lady is fitness competitor, fitness model, glamor model and three time Colombian Fitness Champion, Norma Carrasquilla.
There, I blew almost everything I know about her in one sentence.
I do know she was born on May 8th, 1908, she's 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 130 well placed pounds.
I read that she was a three time Colombian Fitness Champion, but I cant find out what championships they were, so that kinda eliminates the contest history section.

But, if you want to keep up with her, you can check out her website here:

Sandi Stuart - IFBB Fitness Competitor

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

Tanya Merryman-Female Fitness Competitor

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

Kortney Olson-KO

This young lady is Kortney Olson also known simply as "KO".
She's a Scorpio (as you may have noticed from her tattoo) and she has 15 inch biceps, 27 inch quads and 18 inch calves.
KO is 5'7 and 147 pounds.
This young lady had put a lot of time and effort into her body and it really shows.
Besides lifting weights, she does kempo, jujitsu and golf.
Imagine her going into MMA.....

There are lots of places you can keep up with KO on the net including her MySpace page, her website and her ModelMayhem page.
Do a search on her on YouTube and you'll find several videos of her.
She says she wants to be famous and I think she is well on her way.



Here is one of those videos posted by KrivStudiosBlog on YouTube.
You can see KO doing a little flexing, carrying bikini competitor Abby Marie, and a short bit of KO arm wrestling.

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

Fitness Model, Cassandra Hope

This beautiful young lady is fitness model Cassandra Hope.

Cassandra is from Toronto, Ontario, Canada ( I still say they are doing some kind of genetic engineering up there).
She is 5'4 and weighs 125.
I think she is gorgeous, but to compete (and she does) she may have to get a bit more ripped to get the judge's attention.
I don't think she has any trouble getting attention from anyone else though.

Cassandra doesn't have her personal site up yet, but you can find out more about her at her ModelMayhem.com page here:
