Davana Medina is a professional figure competitor from the United States. To Medina is the most successful figure competitor in the short history of the sport, winning the first three Figure Olympia titles to date.

Davana was born on January 28, 1974 in Ponce, Puerto Rico. She entered and won her first figure competition, the NPC Bev Francis Atlantic States, one week after getting married.

With the support of her husband and friends Davana decided to dedicate eight weeks to her first show. She geared her training and dieting to a consistent program to get in the best shape of her life for the show. After winning her first show Davana decided to turn professional. Sadly her marriage did not last.

Davana turned professional after winning the first NPC Figure Nationals in 2001. However, there were no professional figure contests until 2003, so she was forced to take a year off from competition. She has been the most successful woman in figure competition, winning the first three Figure Olympias to date. Davana competes at 5'7" and 130 pounds, and currently lives in Pompton Plains, New Jersey.

Davana says that her biggest inspiration has been her mother, who is very dedicated to everything that she does and taught her to do the same in her life. When the going gets tough, Davana usually relies on her mom to help her get through.

Recently Davana has remarried and was set to compete in the 2006 Ms. Figure Olympia, but due to health problems she was unable to defend her title. This was meant to be her last competition as Medina had stated her desire to retire from competition to start a family with her husband. Her sponsors released a statement through her website saying:

"Davana did not compete at the 2006 IFBB Figure Olympia to defend her title for a 4th consecutive time as a medical issue came up on Monday, September 25 and she was not able to compete. This was supposed to be her last show but she is undecided whether or not she will get back on stage to compete."*

Medina's training consists of simple compound movements with mostly free weights (she rarely uses cable exercises); she also rarely uses machines. She typically trains 6 days a week in the off-season (usually two body parts per day off-season, and only one body part per day on-season).

She graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a BA in English and a Secondary Teaching Certification, and earned certification as a personal trainer from the Cooper Institute in Dallas. In the mid-1990s, her interest in powerlifting led her to try her hand in competition. She won first place in her first two powerlifting appearances, and began to consider competing in other fields. By the early 2000s she had been successful in sporting challenges and turned to bodybuilding, along with fitness and figure competition.

In 2001, Miller began competing in events for the NPC, an affiliate of the IFBB and the largest amateur bodybuilding organization in the United States.

Fitness Competitor: Kelly Ryan



Kelly Ryan (b. July 10, 1972 in Minneapolis, Minnesota) is a IFBB professional fitness competitor.

Kelly Ryan got an early start in her fitness career when, at age eight, she began to train in gymnastics. This would later serve as a foundation for other athletic activities she would become involved with in high school, such as cheerleading and basketball. After high school Kelly decided to pursue journalism at the University of South Carolina. While studying for her degree in journalism she also worked as a choreographer, which would prove very useful in her decision to become a top fitness athlete. Her first fitness competition was the NPC South Carolina State in 1995, where she placed first.

She would eventually end up winning eight fitness competitions. Her background and presence in fitness contests have made her a familiar face at fitness expositions as well as in fitness magazines.

Married to body builder, Craig Titus.

The couple are awaiting trial in Nevada on charges in the murder of their live-in assistant, Melissa James. James was alleged to have had an affair with Titus. Titus and Ryan are being tried together in the case scheduled to go to court in January of 2007. A prosecutor alleged in open court that Titus was part of a plot to murder three witnesses due to testify in the case. No charges have been filed and Titus’ defense lawyer says he doesn’t think that there is enough evidence for charges in the allegation.

The trial of co-defendant Anthony Gross on arson and accessory to murder charges was separated from the murder trial for Titus and Ryan.

Fitness instructor and competitor - Carol Semple-Marzetta
Carol Semple-Marzetta (born February 23, 1966) is a fitness instructor and competitor. In regional and national competitions, she has won 13 medals.

Carol began gymnastics training at the age of 10. Her dream was to compete in Olympics gymnastics events. However, she was found to have Osgood-Schlatter disease, a childhood condition in which the bones grow faster than the muscles they support. This, along with the financial burden associated with training, ended her dream of Olympic competition. The severe injuries she suffered in an auto accident on May 23, 1983 meant she had to give up gymnastics entirely.

She worked as a fitness instructor at a local spa during her 20s. While training there, she became aware of the Ms. National Fitness competition. After winning first or second place in various contests, in 1999 she made a career out of providing advice on training regimens and dietary supplements. As of August 2004, she manages the fitness and athletics division of Life Measure Labs, a company whose mobile units provide state-of-the-art body-composition and bone-density screening tests.
