As Miss Ohio, she is partnering with the American Diabetic Association as a spokesperson for living a healthy lifestyle and teaching people how to start at any age.

Listen in as she shares how she stopped putting limitations on herself and the things she could accomplish and finally realized that once she believed in herself, she can achieve anything. In 2010, Hillary Jones competed for the first time in the Arnold Amateur, and placed third among 35 girls in her height class. She did two other shows within the next two months and then competed in her first Nationals later that year.  Her experience with competing was extremely unhealthy, but she had come to believe that it was just what everyone did. After competing at Nationals, she vowed to never compete again and spent the next several months battling a very ugly binge eating disorder. She had always been passionate about cooking and decided to attend a farm to table culinary arts program in Boulder, CO and learned to look at food in such a different light. It was probably one of the best experiences of her life. Her passion for fitness never went away, and she decided to get recertified as a personal trainer and start training clients again. She still also had this desire to compete again and prove that you could do so in a healthy way. In May of 2013, she competed in her first WBFF show and won her pro status. She took some time away from the stage to figure out what she wanted in her life and career and now she is training for her first pro show in Montreal in 15 weeks. She is most passionate about helping women create a balance in their life, where they can create bodies that they may have always wanted, but not have to feel they are constantly depriving themselves or have to spend hours in the gym or on crazy diets. The most powerful thing one can do is show someone all the power that lies within them, once they just let that light shine. 00:59:00KickAss RadionoHillary Jones,WBFF Pro Competitor,Chef,Fitness Model,Fitness CompetitorKickAss Radio welcomes Hillary Jones, a Chef and Fitness Model, to talk about overcoming her personal struggles in the world of fitness competition.

Listen in as he shares stories about GuruJam, the most rider-centric contest to date and The TerraDome, his private indoor training facility. Joe Cicman's been riding flatland for 27 years. Yes, almost 3 decades of spinning, twisting, gliding, leaping, bailing, and wrecking. Rarely do riders make it to this triumphant milestone. Five years ago, Joe reinvented himself and his style of riding. He decided to dive head first into the flatland world and start traveling the globe in search of competitions. This quest paid off. In 2011, he won the national title for the Expert division of the AmFlat Circuit. Joe continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible. After winning the title, he decided he no longer needed brakes on his bike. He also spent months working out a deal to secure his private indoor training facility, known as The TerraDome. Riders have travelled from many other countries, just to take a spin in this world-famous warehouse. In October, Joe made his greatest contribution to flatland – The GuruJam. Perhaps this was the most rider-centric contest to date. Many think it was THE best contest in history. Either way, Joe continues to push the limits of what is possible both on and off the bike.

Erica Willick, a mother, accountant and wife from London, Ontario, went from being a fit but fairly shy office professional to being a favorite Oxygen magazine fitness model, an international cover girl and a Pro Bikini Model champion in one year. They connected thanks to a shared passion for empowering women in fitness, but noted a diet quick-fix and gimmick-ridden trend that was prevalent in fitness magazines on the newsstand.

Listen in as he shares the many reasons why he competes and what does fitness really mean to him.   Meet AJ Ellison. He was born in Merced, California and now lives in Kansas City, MO. He grew up a military brat so he’s lived in many places from California to North Carolina and even in his mother’s home country, Japan! It was quite an experience to move about every 4 years but with that he realized how much he enjoyed people and diversity. His journey to becoming a personal trainer began with his first passion, running. He put on track spikes for the 1 time during his junior year in high school which led to a solid middle distance career at the University of Tulsa and continuing on to qualify for the 2000 Olympic Trials in the 800m. Years later, he fell in love with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA. After a severe tricep tear in February of 2010, he re-evaluated his priorities and being able to maintain his fitness with longevity was at the top of his list. He turned to fitness competitions as his new outlet. During his journey as a fitness competitor, he’s been blessed to secure a Pro Card in the Muscle Model category with the WBFF in 2011, and just recently won the 2013 WBFF World Muscle Model title. He’s also been honored to be published in magazines such as Natural Muscle, Fit & Firm, Status Fitness and KC Fitness Magazine. Check out his website.

Listen in as she shares her memorable experiences in the world of fitness competition. Fitness has always been a part of Danyelle’s life in one way or another, starting with “Get In Shape Girl” as a child. Through high school and college, she was the queen of workout videos, from tradition aerobics, step and of course the ever famous Buns of Steel. But to actually look like the women in her videos… talk about a pipe dream. Fast forward to five years ago and she was teaching group fitness classes. She was definitely fit and in great shape, eating what she considered healthy, but not on formal plan or routine. A friend of hers and fellow instructor decided to train for a figure competition and encouraged her to do it as well. After witnessing her friend’s incredible transformation, as well as that of some other friends who had competed, she was not only going to compete herself, but she was going to do it better! She had absolutely no clue what she had just signed up for, nor the life change she was about to embark upon. After winning 1 Place in the Novice Category, she was hooked and couldn’t wait to get better and do this again. After 5 years, she is still in love with this sport! She not only competes herself, but trains and coaches others, judges, expedites and writes for the npcnewsonline.  Follow her on Facebook and Instagram.    00:56:00KickAss RadionoDanyelle Mastarone,NPC Figure Competitor,HMB sponsored athlete,NPC News Online,Fitness CompetitionKickAss Radio with Kristi Winger Szudlo welcomes Danyelle Mastarone, a NPC National Figure Competitor and HMB sponsored athlete, to talk about what keeps her bhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/kickassradio/2013/08/22/meet-the-pro-leader-and-world-champions-episode-iiFitnesshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/kickassradio/2013/08/22/meet-the-pro-leader-and-world-champions-episode-ii/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/kickassradio/2013/08/22/meet-the-pro-leader-and-world-champions-episode-iiThu, 22 Aug 2013 22:00:00 GMTMeet the Pro Leaders and World Champions, Episode II KickAss Radio with Kristi Winger-Szudlo welcomes the WBFF Pros: Alisa Kress, WBFF Pro Fitness Diva, James Alexander-Ellis, WBFF Pro Muscle Model, Jean-Jacques Barrett, WBFF Pro Fitness Model, Michelle MacDonald, WBFF Pro-Diva Fitness Model, and Ryan Carruthers, WBFF Pro-Male Muscle Model, to talk about their individual journeys to the world of fitness competition, most especially in the WBFF.

KickAss Radio with Kristi Winger-Szudlo welcomes Philita Wheeler, Current National Level Figure Competitor and former WNBF Pro, to talk about how to be great at fitness while having a career, family and social life. Listen in as she shares how to be happier and achieve a balance among all aspects of our lives. Philita Wheeler is a professional accountant, fitness buff, and passionate about people. She spends 12 hours a day in her career of choice, accounting. It means long countless hours of sitting in front of a computer, and many office food temptations. On top of her career, she found fitness. It was in the sport of running at first, but that was no longer challenging to her and since she had just passed her CPA exams, she needed a next in life. She met her match with iron and chalk in the gym. It was by first seeing Kiana Tom on ESPN where she saw how beautiful women with muscles could be. It’s been her quest for the past three years to develop her physique and turn it into something others could be inspired by. At her first show, she had a little girl that came up to her and said, “I want to be just like you one day” and it broke her heart.  She was overweight and Philita just wanted to reach out and help her. She doesn’t compete in figure shows, just to look good. She does it to help motivate and inspire others to push themselves beyond what they think is possible and to encourage others to give it their 110% every day. She only looks the way she does because of the result of constantly pushing herself to go harder and heavier and push her limits. It’s a direct reaction to her determination.  Check out her website.

In common with many women, hitting her 40’s was a time of inner reflection which led Laura to the realization that she was out of shape, her hormones were off the charts, she had fat in places it has never been before, and not the confident person she once was. It was time for CHANGE and Laura embraced it with passion! Cleaning up her diet and eating organic foods and embarking on an exercise program were two steps that began her journey to physical and spiritual transformation. Reading and studying about fitness and nutrition lead her to study at the largest nutrition school in the country, Integrative Nutrition and also to become a Nationally Certified Personal Trainer by the NSCA.

She found that throwing herself into fitness and competing allowed her a life outside of motherhood and has allowed her to continue to grow as an individual and balance being a mother with achieving her own goals. As they say the mother is the foundation of a happy family. When her children see her working towards her own goals, even if they don’t realize it, subconsciously they will learn how to achieve their own goals too and that nothing is impossible with hard work and determination. Her biggest accomplishment in the fitness industry was to be the 1 female from NZ to compete in The 2011 Figure Olympia. This was a huge goal accomplished by her. She loves to help motivate & inspire everyone she meets throughout her own journey to achieve their goals too. Check out her website and YouTube channel.

Tammy Streich was born and raised in small town USA and is now a WBFF Pro, certified personal trainer, group fitness leader, fitness competitor, fitness model, founder and coach for Team Bling Sweat Heels… and (first and foremost) a Wife & Mom. Tammy was very active and participated in several competitive school athletic programs including basketball, track, gymnastics, and cheerleading. She even cheered in college for 3 years. Tammy has been involved in the Fitness Field for over 20 years receiving a BS in Exercise Science with a minor in Marketing followed by a degree as a Physical Therapist Assistant. She has always had a love for fitness, but when her father suffered a stroke at the age of 42, she became more concerned with health, not just fitness. She truly has a passion for a healthy lifestyle, not just “working out” to look good. She has watched her dad struggle with his disabilities from his stroke for over 20 years now and it makes her appreciate having a strong, capable, fit, and healthy body. She truly enjoys helping others reach and excel their own health/fitness goals. Check out her Facebook page, fan page and her fitness team’s page.

She will also share some tips on how to overcome weight-loss challenges for females especially for those who want to look good in a bikini this summer season. Aeryon developed a passion for fitness and athletics when she was 16 years old, shortly after her lasting battle with body image and weight began. She soon made her entrance onto the competitive fitness scene in Toronto, ON, and, though she was winning competitions, she would completely lose control during “off-season” and return to her unhealthy eating ways. After the birth of her daughter, Aeryon’s weight peaked and she felt she had reached a point of no return. After choosing to be a single mother, Aeryon decided to take her fitness back into her own hands. She returned to the stage to win the 2012 Western Canadian Championships in Kelowna, BC.  After that she competed in the Provincials, placing 2 then on to the Canadian Nationals where she placed 5. This then qualified her to compete in the Arnold Amateurs last February which was a dream come true. Today, Aeryon has not only rebuilt the amazing body she once had but has also inspired a countless number of women along the way. In fact, Aeryon goes out of her way to use her expertise to counsel and support women in reaching their fitness and weight loss goals and conquering their own eating disorders.
