I just finished doing a write up on the 2011 IFBB Figure Pros (like I did with the IFBB Bikini Pros) and in doing that write up, one woman stood out over all the others.
That woman is certified personal trainer and fitness and figure competitor Nicole Wilkins.
Yeah I know I just did a write up on her in January, but this five foot seven, 144 pound fitness beauty stood head and shoulders above the rest.
In 2011 she competed four times, and she came in first place in all four contests.
And two of them were the biggest contests in the world, the Arnold Classic (Arnold Fitness Weekend) and the Olympia (Joe Weider's Olympia Weekend).
This is the second time Nicole has won the Figure International and the second time she won the Figure Olympia (though not in a row, Erin Stern won last year).

Kristal Richardson, IFBB Pro and Personal Trainer

This beautiful lady is Kristal Richardson.
Believe it or not, after only two competitions, Kristal became a IFBB Professional Figure Competitor!
She was born on April 28th, 1976 in Bloomington, Illinois.
Kristal started out in jazz dance and gymnastics at an early age, and moved on to cheerleading, track, and volleyball.

In March 2006, she competed in her first regional Figure competition in San Francisco, The Steel Rose.
Kristal not only won her class, but she also won the overall show, which allowed her to go to the national level.

Then in rapid order she had her 30th birthday, married Tom Richardson (the man that got her into serious training) and competed at the North American national competition, where she won her class and got her Pro Card.

She is now a certified personal trainer and has her own business training and consulting on health and nutrition.
And this lady is a walking advertisement for her business.

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:
