Meet Terri:
1 child, Madelyn 6yrs old
Occupation: Paralegal/Office Manager/Personal Assistant
Competed for the first time in 2010
I started lifting weights about 5 years ago. Hired a trainer at 24 hour fitness, because I had previously just done various cardio and some lifting DVD's at home and needed help, because I was clueless on how to lift weights or my way around the gym and its equipment. In 2009 I watched my twin sister compete in her very first amateur body building competition and win the overall and her pro card. At the end of that season she told me that I should compete and maybe try figure. I had never watched the figure portion of the competitions, because Patricia did body building, so I didn't really know what it was about, but I decided I would train and compete in 2010. The idea of actually competing scared me to death. I am by nature a little shy and the idea of getting up on stage in front of a room full of strangers was not my idea of fun!! I guess I really decided to compete not because I wanted to win per se, but more as a way to push myself beyond my comfort zones or challenge myself to do something I would normally shy away from. I did it more for personal growth and the experience. So, in September of 2010 I competed in my first amateur figure competition in my hometown and won the overall in open short and the overall in 35+, winning my pro card in both categories. It was a long day, but rewarding. I honestly went into that competition with no expectations. So, I then did 2 pro shows that year and won first place in my class at both. 2011 I competed in 3 competitions. Won the overall in September at the Pro International and I am now the reigning IFPA World Figure Champion for 2011 for the Yorton Cup that was held in October. I then competed in November in Figure America in Vegas in a different natural organization called the Musclemania. I got 2nd place in my class there. 2011 was a tremendous year for me!! My plans for 2012 are not definate at the moment. Below I outlined each competition.
2010
KC Classics in Sept of 2010, first place open short, first place open 35+ (earned my pro card in both divisions on very first competition ever )
Gaspari Nutrition Pro in October of 2010 (first pro show) First place in Pro Tall
Musclepharm Yorton Cup 2010 first place place Pro Medium.
2011
KC Classics Pro International in Sept 0f 2011 First place and overall winner ( only one class )
Musclepharm Yorton Cup 2011 in Oct First place Pro tall and Overall Winner. Crowned the 2011 Figure Pro Winner, also won for Best Stage Presentation
Figure America in November 2011 2nd place open figure short
Meet Patricia:
I started lifting weights about 6 and a half years ago. Just wanted to get toned.. lol.. My best friend was working out with me and she got into the best shape of her life and talked me into doing a competition with her " cause it would be fun to do one together!" So in 2009 I entered into my very first amateur competition! I won that one and won the overall so I earned my Pro Status!! I competed in 2 more competitions that year as a Pro and earned first place in each of those. In 2010 I did 2 competitions. The first in my hometown and the 2nd I did in Washington D.C. That one was the Yorton Cup or the Worlds for the Federation I compete in. I won my World Title!!! This year I competed in 4 competitions and as you know I won all 4 of them. I won the Yorton Cup or Worlds for the IFPA again and then went for another world title with another Natural Organization called MuscleMania. I earned another World Title!! What a way to finish off the year. Below I will outline each competition.. Let me know if you need anything else!!
Meet Kyle:
A little bit about me.
Back in 2004 I weighed 125lbs. From that point on the gym and eating consumed my life and still does. Within a year I stepped on stage weighing 176 pounds as a middle weight in the 2005 Arizona open and took second. I fell in love with the sport and always stive to be the best.
Since then I've won the Los Angeles Championships in 2009,2011. Ive competed on the national stage being the USA's in Las Vegas. In 2010 i took 7th as a light heavy and in 2011 i took 6th as a light heavy.
The goal for 2012 is to step on stage as a heavy weight in the quest of a pro card come November at the Nationals. With the help of NutraBio products those kind of gains are possible within a years time!
Meet Christopher:
Through a lot of determination and hard work, Philadelphia native Christopher Wescott was able to build an award winning physique against all odds. With incredible, athletic muscle mass, classic symmetry, and top physical condition year round, he is one of America’s most up and coming natural bodybuilders. Christopher’s passion for bodybuilding and living a healthy lifestyle started when he was 16 years old heading into his senior year of high school. He quickly realized that a total physique makeover was in order to attract college scouts and increase his confidence, so in the summer of 2005 Christopher began working out in the basement of his local barber shop and his physique progressed quickly. Christopher graduated high school ranked 7th in his class with a 3.7 GPA, but due to an administration error, a college career was unlikely so the Air Force became his best option. Christopher enlisted into the United States Air Force in December 2006 and has served in places such as Portugal, Japan, Korea, Africa, Guam and Germany. It was during his two year tour in Korea where Christopher learned how to diet, train and pose properly for a bodybuilding competition. Since 2010, Christopher has never placed outside top 3 in any competition, has made three magazine apperances, was a featured athlete on Musclemania's homepage five times and has had one television appearance on the Armed Forces Network. In 2011, he won 1st place heavyweights, 1st place junior heavyweights and an overall title at the Musclemania New Mexico and 2nd place junior heavyweights at the Musclemania Universe. Christopher's goal for 2012 is to win two Texas State natural titles; under the tutelage of Dewayne Malone and Nutrabio, this goal can easily be accomplished!

Meet James:
My name is James and I was born and raised in Chicago, Il. I currently reside in Olathe, Ks. I'm 29 years old and I'm married to my wife Amber. We have two beautiful little girls; Alexandra who's 6 and Capri who is 1 1/2yrs old. I do in person training at Hitch Fit Gym and also conduct ONLINE personal training programs through my website JamesHanton.com.
Workng out has always been a main priority in my life as long as I can remember. I played football in high school, in College and then played Arena Football. So, all throughout my football career it was very important to be in the best physical condition I could. It helped me perform to the best of my abilities and fight off injuries.
Throughout this time I had wondered how to share my knowlege of health and fitness with the world, and how I could influence others to meet their fitness goals. Personal Training gives me that opprotunity! My training career has also lead me to the fitness model industry, which can only help me grow my business and my fan base, in order to touch more lives through health, fitness and motivation. I am very excited to see what the future holds.
As for Business Ventures, I do Online Personal Training to help change many peoples lives.. I also write for "World Physique Magazine" where my article is Labeled "Dads Fitness".

Meet Walter:
My name is Walter Santoni, born in Elizabeth, New Jersey and raised in Connecticut. I have been training for about 15 years and stepped on stage for the first time in 2007 at The Brooklyn NPC show placing 4th. The feeling of accomplishment and all the hard work and dedication I have put into it made me realize that I have finally found my path in life, which is, devoting myself to the fitness industry and learning anything and everything there is to know about each aspect of it. Looking back at it now, I feel blessed to have come this far in such a short period of time. I have been lucky enough to surround myself with very inspirational and wise people who have helped me along the way. I would have never gotten this far without my number one fan and my best friend, My Mother, who has never given up on believing in me, even in the toughest of times. In 2010 I proposed to my future wife, Oliya Melnichuk, whom I consider truly extraordinary and at the same time one of the toughest women I've ever come across. With this type of support system it is very hard NOT to succeed in all that I put my mind to. I can honestly say that I have found my true passion in the world of bodybuilding. The Fitness industry is very tough to break through but it takes a BELIEVER to make a difference..to stand out...and that is what I consider myself, A true Believer in Human Potential. I am one of the few who can honestly say that I found my True Calling in life, which is to change the lives of ordinary people, making them believe in their Extraordinary skills to be and do anything They set their mind to.
I am looking forward to the 2012 competition season, as I will be doing my own prep this year I am really looking forward to taking my body through a whole new transformation, hoping that my hard work and dedication wont go unnoticed. The ultimate goal is to stand on the same stage with the IFBB league athletes one day. Until then, I'll just keep on pushing.

Meet Oliya:
My name is Oliya Melnichuk, I'm a proud Florida NPC Judge, a Figure Competitor, Fitness Model, Lifestyle Coach and a Founder/Owner of TRUE IRON Gear, Posing Trunks and Accessories. I'm 5'6, 125 lbs (contest) - 130 (offseason). I've been competing since 2009 and training since 2006. Since I can remember I always used to be made fun of for being very skinny. I had a very rough childhood and teenage years, growing up in a foreign country (USA) away from most of my family back in Ukraine, along with dealing with kids constantly picking on me for being a "string bean" immigrant kid. No matter how much I'd eat I could never gain weight. I'd sit and browse through the fitness magazines, admiring all the muscular/toned girls, and dreamt that one day I could become one of them. In 2009 I finally decided to take it to the next level and competed in my first show, winning the overall. I spent a whole year and a half competing in Bikini on a national level, and realized that it is not for me. It's always been my dream to become a Figure competitor so I made a switch in the beginning of 2011 and I couldn't be happier. It's a long road filled with many bumps and stop signs, every single setback is just another lesson learned, another grain of wisdom added to your overall experience and knowledge, so as long as you are passionate about it nothing can ever stop you from achieving your dreams.

Meet Buddy:
Buddy Roberts has been signed to UFC!
Buddy Roberts is a confident striker who exhibits good quickness and agility for the division. He comes out with his head down, hands up, while looking to assert himself as the aggressor early. Roberts possesses a good kicking game showing the ability to land powerful outside low kicks and nifty inside leg kicks. Showing good flow and rhythm to his standup, Roberts links his kicks and punches together in a very smooth manner. He shows a good jab-cross combination, respectable punching power and demonstrates the ability to be aggressive while remaining defensively conscious at all times.

Meet Nick:
My journey in natural bodybuilding began when I was 16. I competed in my first contest wanting to be like the more advanced guys, totally huge and shredded to the bone. Bodybuilding didn't get really interesting till this past year when I drove home in my mind the motive for competing which isn't just trophy hunting and the feeling of self gratification you get when you win. Now, for me a bodybuilding competition is an opportunity to impact as many people as I can with the media, a social networks and actual contest itself. Spreading the message of natural fitness and the reason behind why I do what I do justifies my intense passion for this sport. I recently won professional status in the natural world of bodybuilding and with the help of Kirk Fontenot I plan on competing (with that same awesome motive) on a world class level in the very near future.

"Little" Patricia Vidonic

Meet "Little" Patricia:
My name is, “Little” Patricia Vidonic, I am a professional mixed martial artist, mom and wife. Originally from Medford Oregon, now out of Billings, MT. I hold a pro record of 5-1 and held an ammy record of 4-1. I fight at 105lbs to 115lbs and have been training for 3 years now. I have accomplished a lot in those three years. I held 3 ammy titles in 3 separate promotions at two different weights. I have earned fight of the night, five times now. I filmed a reality show for professional female MMA fighters(where I also fought, however the results haven‘t been released yet), and I am fighting regularly. My last bout was April 22nd in Montana. I won via armbar in the 2nd round! Did I mention that I have no martial arts background and I never wrestled, everything I have learned is specifically for the cage. I work very hard, I am dedicated, and know that I will reach the top. I always conduct myself in a respectful and professional manner. I love my family, my friends, my job and my life.
I grew up in Southern Oregon as an only child, and I lost my mom at a young age. She was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 34 (I was 13) and passed away at 36. She had gone through 2 bouts of chemotherapy, one radiation and numerous surgeries including: lumpectomy, two mastectomies. About two months after I turned 15, she passed away; I was with her when she passed. After that I had some teenage rough patches then ended up getting pregnant and having a son by the time I was 19. His name is Marky, and he is a typical 12yr old; he likes skateboarding, bmx, video games and girls. Occasionally he even dresses down and does some MMA with his mommy. The biggest highlight of my career is knowing I can be a positive role model to everyone. I get a big kick out of the kids who come up to me and ask to get a picture with me. They look at me with such admiration, which makes me strive harder and stay focused. I have a wonderful husband and son who both support me 100%, as well as many friends, family and fans who I also want to thank for their support.

Meet Bon:
My interest in competitive bodybuilding began at the age of 19. When I competed in my first and last teenage NPC contest. I knew then that I had a passion for the sport. I continued to develop the best as I could be while Building a family, my main priority, and working full time as well. I started to acknowledge my true potential in 2010. Until the beginning of 2010 I had prepped both on and off season completely solo. My first time with a trainer, under the coaching and tutelage of National Super Heavy NPC competitor Bair Mone, I received my NPC National Qualifier at the 2010 NPC Kentucky Muscle on November 13- (2nd) Place Open Light Heavy, as well as (2nd) Novice Heavy Wt. Only loosing to a good friend and the Overall Champion. I followed that up at the 2011 NPC Indiana State/ and Hoosier Classic on July 23- (1st) Place Heavy Wt. and Overall in my Hoosier Class and (4th) Open Heavy Wt. in the Indiana State Class. So far my short time as a serious bodybuilder has been very spiritual and fulfilling. It has also been very motivational both myself and others. I am starting to transition into training others and make a full transition into the fitness industry. I am striving to be the best I can be and move toward the National NPC Level very soon in pursuit of a IFBB Pro Card!
The no nonsense approach of NutraBio products lets me know exactly what I put in my body milligram for milligram every time. I am now starting to realize and achieve my full potential with them integrated into my day to day routine. Thanks to NutraBio!
Thanks to my wife Maria for her management and support. My two lovely girls Cheyenne and Brisa for keeping me grounded. And also all of my family and friends who continue to drive me to being the best everyday.
