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.

Originally born in Chicago, IL, Eric
grew up in Round Rock Texas where he excelled at sports. Although
his early years were complicated by tragedy in the form of
domestic violence, Eric was determined to rise above the suffering.
He attended college in Arkansas and Iowa where he played football.
Illness sidelined the young athlete when he was diagnosed
with dangerously high toxicity levels. The doctors eventually
had to perform surgery and his life began to transform. After
his recovery, Eric was determined to learn the proper way
to maintain perfect health and fitness.

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.

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 Hernandez Fitness
Model

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.
