Taylor Ryan

Fitness has become my passion and I was motivated to teach others the right way, to avoid my paths. I became NASM personal training certified and with my boyfriend we started an online weight training business. In August of 2008, I competed in my first figure competition and placed 4th in my class. I am competing again this November and ready to place 1st!

Nicole Spitzack

I went to college at Western Ky University in Bowling Green, Ky where I studied Nutrition and Exercise. After college I got a job as an Enteral Nutrition Therapist and shortly after decided to pursue my personal trainer certification. I started working at Gold’s Gym as an Aerobic instructor and Personal Trainer. Fitness and health are a way of life for me and my family. It is so important to maintain a healthy body. After all it is the only one you get. I love the way exercising energizes me and allows me to connect to other people in a positive manner. There is never a bad day at work!

Marla Arndt

I made a lifestyle change at the age of 30 years old. I stopped the YO-YO dieting, permanently lost the unhealthy weight and lifestyle I was living. I became a new woman and six years later followed my heart and became a certified personal trainer. I got started in the fitness modeling because I needed a new goal. I wanted to be a positive role model to women my age. Hopefully inspire and motivate women to continue training and eating clean and not just feels BUT look years younger.

Beth McGrath

I have been involved in the fitness industry since I was 19 years old, when I earned my Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology at North Georgia College and University. I have always been athletic. I participated in Cross Country and Track as a high school student, which naturally segued into teaching group fitness classes. I began teaching weight training classes about 4 years ago in the group fitness environment and thoroughly loved how it toned my physique and made me stronger.

Tanya Cherryholme

I thoroughly enjoy the satisfaction of seeing someone conquer goals towards an improved healthy lifestyle. As well, because I do practice what I preach - I work hard to maintain a toned body. Due to this sacrifice of will - I want to show off my hard work with pride. Fitness and nutrition stand priorities in my life and I love my lifestyle!

Jana Hollingsworth

I was born in Boston, MA. As a child, I was very active. I took lessons in just about every sport you can imagine (skiing, skating, tennis, tap, ballet) but my passion was horses. I rode every weekend, took lessons for years and competed in many horse shows. I also had a passion for dance which developed in my late teens. I took lessons and won many dance competitions. During my early 20's, I got a job in a health club. It inspired me to become a personal trainer and aerobics instructor.

Samantha Bullington

Training is like an addiction, if I miss a day, then I obsess on when I will make it up. I tell people who struggle that it's like a second job. There's always something else I could find to do, but if you schedule it like your job, then you will make yourself be there. I work out by myself mainly, but on leg day, I need that extra kick in the butt.. so I partner up with my husband, Roger, who won Mr. Arkansas and is striving to take his placeings at the Masters Nationals, and Don Youngblood, who is the 2002 Masters Mr. Olympia.

My family soon packed it up and moved to a small little town in northern Arizona otherwise known as Show Low. I grew up being a tomboy of sorts, riding dirt bikes; riding my horses and anything I could find to entertain myself outdoors. I have always loved being the center of attention.
