Michelle Jones - British Female Bodybuilder - 2006 UK Champion


DSC00684, originally uploaded by hansk01.

Michelle Jones is an up and coming female bodybuilder who -- at 21 -- has a lot of potential on top of what' she's already done. She works out at Forest Gym in the UK, where these photos were taken by Hans Klein, a writer for GeneX Magazine. It can be said that Hans discovered her for the Internet world.

He posted this account:


Michelle Jones, a 21 year-old British girl I met today, is one of the most promising young female bodybuilders to come out of England in years - in fact, since Joanna Thomas. When she won the British equivalent of Nationals last October – only her second ever show – she was, in fact, even younger than Joanna was when she won the same show back in 1998. But unfortunately, the rules have now been changed. Whereas Joanna got a pro card automatically, Michelle will have to compete at the Europeans or Worlds to get hers.

To that end, she’s in the middle of what she calls a “two-year process of bulking up”. At 5-foot-3, she competed last October at 125 pounds and she’s already put on a lot of size since then - as I saw when I went to visit her today at Forest Gym, a hardcore gym (paint peeling off the equipment, signed photos of pros on the wall, Rammstein playing) in Sussex, just south of London, where she trains.

Alina Popa's Great 2006

Alina Popa's another popular female bodybuilder on the Web. At her website she reports...

"Hello everybody!

First of all I want to wish you all Merry Christmas and a Happy Prosperous New Year. For me 2006 was a very successfull year, full of both proffesional and personal satisfaction. I got to meet so many new and interesting people, I travelled a lot, I had lots of good experiences and many new things to see and learn. I had one competition only, but I was the winner; that competition might not look so important, but to me it was meaningfull because I realized I achieved a new level in my shape.

So, at the end of this year, when I draw a line and sum up, I could say it was the best year I had so far, with the most numerous improvements and the one that brought the most significant changes. Also, it brought next to me some very special people that I love with all my heart. I want to thank them all for being who they are and for constantly supporting me in the most genuine way possible."

We hope she has more success in 2007

Monica Starr - Fitness Model and Bodybuilder

Monica Starr as captured by GeneX Hwang. This is what Monica says about herself from her website

Monica Starr is a true country girl, born and raised in Kansas growing up farming corn, wheat, milo, and sunflowers working on her family owned and operated feedlot. Monica loves hunting, fishing, and riding horses. Monica had a passion for horses and hardly a day went by that she didn't go riding. The competition bug bit her at the young age of 10, and it led her to showing and barrel racing horses.

Growing up, Monica was a tomboy at heart, and it showed. You would never find her inside playing dolls or playing house. Monica liked to be outdoors getting down and dirty. Even today, you will find her outside most of the time. She still loves to hunt, fish, ride horses, and you may even find her racing cars from time to time. Monica loves to frequent the race track. She loves to show support to her favorite Stock Car driver, #25KO.


Monica competed in sports such as track and volleyball in highschool. She even went on to coach Jr High track at a small school in Kansas. Now that is one tough chic with true beauty, strong will, and good heart. Monica is very energetic and outgoing and it shows just hearing her voice. But, our cowgirl left the farm for the big city. After going to college at Fort Hays University and Colby College, she realized that she wanted more in life, so she got certified to become a personal trainer and moved to Baltimore, Maryland.

While working the fitness rounds, another sort of competition bug bit her. She soon discovered the new NPC Figure division. Meet Monica Starr Cowgirl gone City. Monica competed in NPC Figure for four years, and got into fitness modeling. It's been a whirlwind ever since! However, Monica missed the small town life and headed back to the Land of OZ. Did she use her ruby red slippers? We may never know, but she went back to her home town to be closer to family and lead a quieter life.

Today, Monica is still personal training and doing fitness modeling. When she is not being made up for the camera, she is working on her family owned farm and ranch with her Dad, brothers, and Grandpa. They have a feedlot with close to 1,500 head of cattle in it, and they farm close to 5,500 acres of land. Monica stays pretty busy with that, but still manages to find time to model for magazines such as Muscle Mag, American Curves, and Planet Muscle. Monica likes the small town life. She travels a lot with shoots so she still gets to see big cities. This City/Country girl gets the best of both worlds.
