Personal trainer Amanda Kelsay has been competing for 7 years, but the Massachusetts says her training for Fitness New England in two weeks is her most intense. “This show is always my favorite, especially it is so close to home and my family and friends and see me perform,” she explains. The 5′, 100 lbs., 34 year old has a degree in illustration and works at Fawn Heart Cronin – Boston’s Best in Dance and Choreography. Amanda will be among nearly 200 amazing fitness women on stage at Fitness New England, May 17 in Hartford.

Massachusetts Correction Officer Amy Guerin shed her uniform and took the stage at Ms. Bikini America where she was a Top 5 Finalist. The 5'2", 117 lbs., 29 year old has played field hockey through school and still is in a women's league and coaches a youth team. Amy was the '12 Model New England Champion and says that next season she will pump her game and perform in the Fitness Division for the first time. She explains, "Athletics run through my veins! I am looking forward to taking on a new challenge which will push me to another level. I want to step outside my comfort zone on a daily basis not only by doing fitness but on a daily basis."
