Heather Dees - IFBB Figure Competitor

I have been doing a lot of fitness models lately, so here's a lady with some real size to her, IFBB Figure Competitor Heather Dees.
I did a write up on Heather a while back on my other female fitness blog, but hey, she's good enough for two entries right?
While Heather does have some size as I said before, this five foot five, 133 pound fitness beauty also has the sleekness that harkens back to ladies like Cory Everson.



It's hard to get just the right blend, but Heather does it.
Besides being a figure competitor and fitness model, Heather is also a Hair Stylist and Master Esthetician.
And Heather is also married to bodybuilder Justin Dees.

Heather's Female Fitness Competions:
2009 NPC USA Bodybuilding and Figure Championships - 10th
2010 NPC National Bodybuilding, Figure and Bikini Championships - 1st
2010 NPC USA Championships - 5th
2010 NPC Junior National Championships - 6th
2010 NPC California State Bodybuilding, Figure and Bikini Championships - 1st

Heather Dees TopForm Athlete Works out Arms

Brittany Beede - Jamie Keyes - Fitness Model

If you keep up with WWE wrestling at all, you may have seen the stunning fitness model Brittany Beede on the third season of NXT as Jamie Keyes.
When I first saw her I thought, "You know Aksana is a former bodybuilder, fitness model and personal trainer, but Jamie looks way more cut-up than she does."
I just knew she was gonna be at least in the finals with that physique, but she was the very first Diva to be eliminated from the competition.
I know pro wrestling is fake, but they rigged this too?
How do I know it was rigged?
Well just look at her!



Tell me she would have not made a great WWE Diva given the training.
Unbeknownst to me at the time, she already did have a little training.

Brittany started out as a kid with gymnastics, dance, tennis, volleyball, boxing, track and field, karate, weightlifting and cheer leading.
Yes boxing and karate, she already had a martial arts background.

Then she became a model as she worked her way through nursing school.
Wrestlicious saw her first and wanted her as their ring announcer (again...let her wrestle!)
But then oddly enough she showed up not in Wrestlicious, but TNA managing Kevin Nash at the 2009 Final Resolution pay-per-view.
Then WWE saw her pics at Wrestlicious and signed her.
I'm guessing John Laurinaitis saw her.

This led to her begin trained as a wrestler by Steve Keirn and her showing up on FCW and NXT.
But like I said, she was the first Diva eliminated.

But forget wrestling, this lady could be a real threat in IFBB Figure or IFBB Bikini either one.
Maybe she could pull an Aksana, win a bunch of competitions and have the WWE come crawling back to her.

Either way, finding any info on her is like looking for Bigfoot.
I got some pictures...but no real proof.

This is one of those things I hate about doing this blog.
I ran across a picture of Savannah Rose on Tumbler and I can't find a thing about her other than pictures.
I say "Fitness Model" in the title because she is fit and she looks like a model.
But that's about all I have to go on.
All I could find were a few pics from around the web, but I have a feeling we'll be seeing more of her soon.

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

More Adela Garcia

I did a write up on IFBB professional fitness competitor Adela Garcia way back in April of 2007.
So after three years, isn't it about time for another one?

Adela was born on December 1st, 1971, in Cabrera, Dominican Republic and then her family moved to San Juan, Puerto Rico when she was eight years old.
She played softball, volleyball, and basketball when she was in school. then started weight training at seventeen.

Before Adela got her IFBB pro card, she competed in numerous events....

1995 NPC Europa Sports Fitness Championship - 2nd place
1996 NPC National Fitness Championship - 12th place
1996 NPC Pennsylvania Fitness Championship - 4th place
1998 NPC USA Fitness Championship - 9th place (short class)
1998 NPC National Fitness Championship - 8th place (short class)
1998 IFBB North American Fitness Championship - 6th place (short class)
1998 NPC Junior National Fitness Championship - 2nd place (short class)

When Adela won the the NPC USA Fitness Championships in 1999, she got her pro card and went on to compete in many events, getting first place at the 2002 IFBB New York Pro Fitness, the 2002 IFBB Atlantic States Pro Fitness, the 2002 IFBB Pittsburgh Pro Fitness, the 2003 IFBB New York Pro Fitness, the 2004 IFBB Fitness International, the 2004 IFBB Fitness Olympia, the 2006 IFBB Fitness International, the 2005 IFBB Sacramento Pro Fitness, the 2006 IFBB Fitness International, the 2006 IFBB Fitness Olympia, the 2007 IFBB Europa Super and the 2007 IFBB Fitness Olympia.



But as the late Billy Mays used to say "That's not all!"
Adela took off a couple of years and came back in a big way winning the 2009 IFBB Europa Super Show & Supplement Expo and the 2009 IFBB Olympia.
So fourteen years after coming in second at the 1995 NPC Europa Sports Fitness Championship, she wins two of the biggest fitness competitions in the world!
This five foot one, 110 pound fitness beauty is amazing to say the least.
And I didn't mention that Adela was recently named number one on the IFBB's list of the top 100 fitness competitors.

If you want to see more of Adela, you can check out her website here:

Amber Elizabeth Fournier - Womens Fitness

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.

Carmen Dura is a ACE certified personal trainer, group fitness instructor, AFC certified personal trainer, boxing coach, figure competitor, fitness model and entrepreneur.

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.
