Ilona Tatarinova

29 years old

I am qualified professional in economy and law. I have worked for last three years as a Financial Manager. I am a part time commercial model. And I have a hobby that has changed my life, my soul, my attitude and my vision; Sport. My earliest interest in sport began when I was six years old and my parents brought me to a Taekwondo class. I was a fan of martial arts movies at the time. So instead of taking up a dance class, I chose fighting class. I was the only girl there from whole town. I fought with boys, I won, felt, got up and sometimes gave up, but somehow I always went back to it. I think this was a crucial point in my life which brought me to who I am now. Never give up and always follow the path you choose. I love going to gym and a year ago I became addicted as dedicated. As a result of my consistency and teamwork with my coach, I won two titles in the IFBB SA competition in the Fitness Bikini category and I have been invited to compete in Arnold Classic Africa. Now as I begin my new path I am looking for opportunities of reconversion and sharing with others the healthy lifestyle I follow, how I stay disciplined and motivated. Through this I hope to encourage and inspire people who are at the start of their fitness journey or still considering it. I think the Fitness Model Search is the best platform to be able to do this. Thank you for this great opportunity. My instagram page is @ilona.ati

Christopher Krynauw

27 years old

To say I love fitness - bodybuilding in particular - would be an understatement.

I don't just love it, I live it. I am the definition of having a 'fit' lifestyle.

 

I fell in love with training at a young age, and learned about proper nutrition as time went on. Once I did there was no stopping me. I went on every day since in the pursuit of become a better me - not just physically - because bodybuilding can take you so much further than that.

 

Now I find myself eating healthy and training hard every day, the only time I take off from training is the give the weights a break. Every time I step in the gym, it has to be a good workout. I must push myself otherwise I feel incomplete. Then go home, get in the proper nutrition, and set the tone. I am the standard. I set the example of what living fit means living healthy. I don't just say it, I do it. I am I am it.

 

My name is Christopher Krynauw, and this is what I live for.

Gerridene de Vries

28 years old

 

Growing up, I always wanted to look like the girls in magazines. Then I came to realize that the girl in the magazine doesn't even look like the girl in the magazine. Since January 2017 I became extra focused on my own journey of wellness and health and realized that when you live for a purpose - life is pure bliss ❤️

My advise to everyone is to chase those dreams head on or some one else will hire you to help chase theirs! Your choice.

It truly excites me to be a part of the Model Search 2018 platform and I cannot wait to project my "it factor" on the International Arnold's stage. Follow my journey on @gerridene_dv for the build up to the 2018 Arnold's Africa Model Search.

 

Charlize Conradie

25 years old

To me exercise is a means to a more fulfilled, meaningful existence. Seeing how a person’s improved outer appearance boosts his/her self-confidence, is a source of motivation for me.

As a business consultant for Discovery I am required to motivate people to lead a healthier lifestyle, leading to a saving of costs to their health expense budget. I therefore need to set an example of the rewarding results from being healthy and active. The results not only being outer appearance but also the positive impact it has on mind, body and soul.

 

I work with people on a daily basis and my fun-loving personality makes it easy for me to connect with people. I love making people laugh and feel good about themselves.

My passion for health, fitness and beauty has shaped the way I live and the results from this lifestyle further helps me connect with people on a level that is so rewarding.

 

I hope that the Arnold Classic Africa platform will afford me the opportunity to inspire others to improve their lives from the inside out.

Megan Wesson

30 years old

I am a passionate, social and hard working individual. I am driven by success, and I have a love for fitness, fashion and beauty. I strive to be an inspiration to those who have yet to believe in the beauty of their dreams. I am motivated and empowered in the belief that I can do anything I set my heart and mind to. My love for fitness has given me the strength and power to push through anything in life. I believe we need to stay humble but hungry.

I placed 2nd in my first fitness competition this year at Millennium Gold Plate, Fitness Bikini U1.66, leading me to qualify for Arnold Classic Africa 2018.

 

Being determined to be successful in all aspects of my life has opened my eyes to the amazing opportunities that are out there, along with building quality friendships with like minded people, I can't wait to see where this opportunity will take me.

Jean-jacques kasselman

25 years old

My name is JJ Kasselman. I started my body “transformation” 8 years ago and what once was an interest in fitness and health has now become a passion! It changed my life and my outlook on health, fitness and nutrition in general. Fitness is a way of life and not just a once-off “thing” - it takes hard work; discipline and dedication to achieve your goals. I push my body to look as good as possible – this is the gasoline on my fire…With improvements and the results I get – I am encouraged to do better and better. I also enjoy helping people where I can, to improve their own fitness and health - I want them to feel the euphoria a healthy body and mind – “Healthy body; healthy mind” my motto in life!

Lihle Ndelu

28 years old

I’m a very driven front-end developer/tester and a fitness enthusiast currently enrolled to complete my fitness studies through Trifocus Fitness Academy. I’m an honest, vibrant and fun young lady. I enjoy the simple things in life. Being happy is a state of mind, and I don't think people should settle for less than they deserve. On a personal level, I have a flair for fashion and beauty, I’m outdoorsy, a little bit goofy; and I enjoy helping others wherever I can.

 

My passion for fitness, health, and beauty are what drive me to always inspire, motivate and spread body positivity and overall well-being. Fitness has played a very big part in molding me into the person I’ve always known I could be; I’m a motivator, I am motivated and I’m pushing all my boundaries with so much growth.

 

Through fitness, I’ve been very grateful and fortunate enough to have shared the stage/competed with some amazing athletes and even placed 3rd at the KZN east coast classics and made Top 6 of the USN face of Fitness.

Shevaughn Nankervis

25 years old

A year ago, I embarked on my spiritual journey, which encompassed a spiritual, emotional, mental and physical transformation. I changed my lifestyle and became more conscious of what I was putting into my body, for both health and humanitarian reasons; as my eating habits changed, so did my way of life.

 

I've become more conscious of how young women see themselves in this ever-evolving world; we compare ourselves to one another, instead of uplifting and liberating one another. I'd like to be part of more than just a competition - I'd like to be part of a movement where we inspire women from all walks of life to be the best that they can be, without putting themselves, or other women down in order to get there.

Marisa Jordaan

39 years old

I am currently a Residential Development Manager at Italtile Somerset West, working in partnership with top end Architects, Interior designers, Developers, creating beautiful living spaces.

 

A fit lifestyle has always been part of who I am. My journey started when Iwas 15 years old and was first introduced to bodybuilding by one of my dearest teachers... and the rest is history. Although it was always a dream of mine to compete, I just never had the courage to take on the stage. I always felt I was not good enough, too old, always measuring myself up to other athletes, always falling a million miles short. Till last year 2017! I decided that i will become the best version of myself, only competing against me myself and I. I took my eyes of other people, concentrating on my weaknesses and made them strong - took my strengths and made them stronger... and i did it!! I competed for the first time and placed 2nd! Wow.. it was the most exhilarating feeling ever. From there I kept on competing and won all my divisions, including Overall fitness bikini.

 

Being invited to compete in the Arnold Classic Africa 2018 is a real honor and an absolute highlight in my journey thus far, and being selected to take part in the Model Search, is the cherry on top! What an amazing platform and opportunity to spread the good news that YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH - YOU ARE WORTHY! To motivate people from all walks of life and age groups, to live a healthy lifestyle, teaching them that discipline is the key to every success in life - to tell them its NEVER TO LATE!

Claire Gravell

31 years old

 

My fitness journey began while pregnant with my little boy. I vowed to myself that I wanted to get my body back after I gave birth.

It started with park runs, entering 10km fun runs, starting up a home gym, and getting into a fit lifestyle.

My sister in law suggested I set a goal for myself and I should look into entering a body building competition. From that moment I was hooked.

My husband is my number one fan, support system and motivation. He pushes me and holds my hand through every step in my journey.

Looking back I have far surpassed all of the goals I set. Now, my dreams and goals, are bigger and closer to the stars.
