Amelia Powers
With a physique as feline as any jungle cat, confident piercing eyes
that give no hint of weakness and enough charisma to overcome any
obstacle, Lift for Life Model of the Month Amelia Powers looks like
she just walked out of a James Bond movie.
No stranger to fitness,
Amelia has been competing since the age of 16 in her native Peru
where she claimed the title of Miss Fitness Peru nine times. An
athlete from her youth, Amelia began weight training early which
concerned her mother who feared that she would become "big".
Predicting her own future, Amelia assured her mother that being fit
was a part of her life and that she would always stay feminine.

Amelia's competitive resume
spans the entire gambit of physical excellence. Her first competitive
win earned her a gold medal in a bodybuilding competition in Lima Peru
in 1990. As if to punctuate her accomplishment, Amelia repeated this
victory multiple times before switching her endeavors to Fitness. The
year 1993 saw her claim the silver medal in the National Fitness Contest
also in Lima.
Time passed and Amelia
continued training. To her, training regularly and eating properly isn't
a chore, but a way of life. This is a mentality that she instills in the
clients that she trains as she teaches them to be their best, and for
Amelia, the best was yet to come.
After taking up residence in
the U.S., the year 2007 saw Amelia claiming victories in 5 major
competitions, from overall champion in the Ms. Fitness America to overall
champion the the Miss Bikini America.
Winning is contagious, and though Amelia thrives on being her best, she
readily confesses that being a role model for others is among her
highest ideals. |

 "My motivation comes from
deep in my heart, because I have a lot of passion for fitness. I am a
strong believer that fitness helps join the mind, body and soul as one." |
As a wife, mother, competitor
and trainer, Amelia credits God as her source of willpower. And oh the
willpower she has. Two weeks after giving birth to her son Brandon in
2005, Amelia was easing back into to her training program and within two
years, she was making waves in the competitive arena.
With so many victories under
her belt, what's left for Amelia Powers to accomplish? What ever it is,
you can be sure that she is already planning,,,, and preparing for it.
Because of her commitment to
drug free physical excellence, aspiring to always be her best, and for
instilling this commitment in others,
Lift for Life is honored to name
