tall fitness pros?

[nikegurl]

the thread on jenny worth got me thinking....it seems that a lot of the pro fitness women are very tiny (height). jenny is 5'1" or 5'2". i'm pretty sure that kelly ryan and susie curry (currie?) are also very petite.

does anyone know of any fitness women (ones we've likely heard of) who are 5'7" or taller?

 

[Arnold]

can't think of any.

I'm not going to bet money on this because I'm not even 100% sure she was a Fitness competitor but, wasn't Shelly Beatty in the 5'10" or 5'11" range?

 

[nikegurl]

i think she did make the switch from bodybuilding to fitness and she's tall.

so far i've come up with timea majorova (but maybe she's only 5'6"?), carol semple-marzetts (where'd she go?) and theresa hessler. hmmmm......i think sharon bruneau was tall and i heard she switched to fitness but never see anything about here anymore either. (i'm dating myself!)

I remember everyone of those ladies so don't start talking about being old or I'll get depressed.

Timea Majorova is 5'7" I think.

Nicloe Bass is like 6 feet tall, and I personally was looking up to Rachel Moore....didn't check the heel length!

Nicole Bass??? A FITNESS PRO??? You're kidding, right? Yeeeee Gawd, I'd love to have seen her do an aerobics routine.

I believe Timea is 5'7......and Stacy Simmons looked even taller in person than Timea did.......Beth Horn is pretty tall also.

Yes Timea is 5'7 and so is Kary Odiatu, but most of the other girls are all under 5'6.

Debbie Kruck and Marla Duncan...5f6 Laura mak is a tall one too. Lena Johanessen. Stacy simons, and Lisa lowe...5f6 for lisa, but I know stacy is taller. Hmmm...Now that I type this, not anyone here except Laura mak and Stacy simons that MIGHT be 5f7

Remember that many fitness athletes get into fitness after competing in things like gymnastics and cheerleading. This usually means the women will be pretty small in the first place.

At the Musclemania on the weekend most of the girls were mid 5' range for the most part. Mindi O'Brien when I spoke with her was looking me in the eye (I'm 5'11'') with heels on, so she's probably about 5'7" or 5'8".

You guys are talking about females but what is the tallest male bodybuilder? I heard it was that Gunter at 6'2.
