I have been in the fitness industry for over 13 years. I have many talents but my passion is fitness. I am a NASM certified personal trainer, ACSM group fitness instructor, Johnny G certified spin instructor, and I'm also certified in CPR/First Aid. I am a figure competitor and fitness model. I got started in the fitness industry by taking group fitness classes. I realized that I loved the way it made me feel, both mentally and physically. I then realized that this is something I wanted to do forever.

Anthony Catanzaro
Fitness Model

I got into Male Modeling at the age of 18, and continue to have a busy schedule this very day. I not only compete as a male fitness model, I also compete in natural bodybuilding shows all over the country. I also have appeared in many Films, TV shows, commercials, magazines, and catalogs. But what I am most proud of is helping others achieve their goals. Whether it's health and fitness, motivation, nutrition and well being I always encourage people to follow their dreams. I believe we all have a purpose, and we should all help each other find that purpose. I'm glad I found mine as a child.

Diana Chaloux
Fitness Model

I started competing in Figure in 2005. After talking about it and talking about it I finally decided that I needed to take some action! Through determination, discipline and dedication which God provided me with, I was blessed to become nationally qualified at my first competition the NPC 2005 John Sherman Classic. I was blessed once again in 2006 when I placed first at the NPC 2006 Ronnie Coleman Classic and went on to compete in the NPC Jr. Nationals in Chicago.

Mary Castro
Fitness Model

I was born in West Covina, CA. on April 14, 1981. The oldest of five in our family. I grew up all around Southern California. I went to many schools.At times it was tough, it was hard to make friends because we were always moving and never settling. I was very independent early in my life. Coming from a household with a single parent is challenging, and I knew I had to grow up fast. It made me very responsible and ambitious. I knew there was no one there to pick up my slack, so I never left any.

Alana became interested in fitness when she decided that her body wasn't making her happy anymore. So, so she decided to change it. She is a firm believer in change and she thinks when you really want to do something, you just need do it. No talking about it, just act and get after it. Alana took this mid set and turned it into a fitness career. She has placed 2nd at the 2005 Team Universe and earned her professional card. She also placed 8th at the 2004 North American Figure Championships.

Chaundra Tangi
Fitness Model

I began training in August of 1997, at 162lbs. (See photos on gallery page.) I wanted to change my body and knew the only way to do so was to have a goal. I competed in bodybuilding at the NPC Northern Colorado, just 6 months later. At 108lbs I took 5th place. My training was off and on until I tried Fitness at the Northern Colorado in 2000. I trained myself and received guidance from my current trainer, Dave Fujii. I took 1st place with no height classes. I have since earned my Pro Card by winning my class at the first NPC National Figure Championships in NYC, 2001.
