The many hats we wear and the ones we can never truly take off. At the age of 11 I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. My world as I knew it and my interactions with food became a mathematical equation. In retrospect I would say this is when I began my "studies" in the health and fitness world. I navigated through my teenage years as a three sport athlete WITH type 1 diabetes. I attained my Bachelors degree in Psychology and Masters in Social Work with a focus on Eating Disorders and Body Image Disturbances while being highly involved in Student Leadership life and as President of a Dance Company WITH Type 1 Diabetes. It was at this point in my life that I recognized the importance of Physical Fitness on one's Mental Wellbeing and vice versa. It was during this time that I also, moved from NY to Vermont, got married and began competing in the OCB and NPC Bikini divisions. I competed for roughly 6 years on and off, accomplished my IFPA Pro Bikini Card in 2013 and won the Title of 2014 IFPA Pro Bikini World Cha

My name is Courtney and I live in a small town outside of Buffalo, NY. I went to the University at Buffalo, where I studied Biology. Once I graduated, I went a completely different route and started working for a gym. Prior to working at LA Fitness, I didn’t have a lot of experience strength training. I played sports when I was younger and ran after high school, completing a handful short races, half marathons and one full marathon. While working at the gym I fell in love with strength training and eventually found powerlifting. After a few months of training, I competed in my first meet where I took first place and qualified for Raw Nationals. Although it’s fun to compete against others in competition, what I really enjoy about powerlifting is competing with myself.

I’m Ryann Healy, I’m 30 years old and I’m from Manchester, NH. I work as a funeral director at my family’s funeral home, as well as operate my spray tan business Golden Standard Spray Tans. I competed in my first bikini show in April of 2014 and recently earned my pro card in women’s bodybuilding with the WNBF. I have been lifting weights since I was 16 but never really knew anything about bodybuilding but always knew I wanted to compete or at least look like that. I once read an article in muscle and fitness when I was younger and it said “if you are short don’t bother competing you will never be able to.” At 5’2” I assumed well that’s that. After a break up, I suddenly decided that YES, I am going to do a show! I started training with Brian Azarian from Rock Hard Fitness in Bedford NH and did my own diet. 

The long awaited show is here! I have done shows with competitors, coaches, tanning companies, makeup artists etc. Now it is time to bring on the Owner of the WNBF, Nancy Andrews and judges Vic Cuzzupe and Kristin Fonseca to give us an inside look of a natural bodybuilding show through the eyes of the judges. Topics of conversation will be posted in a few weeks!
