In addition to promoting the pro bodybuilding and fitness events, Jan Tana also held regional quality amateur bodybuilding, fitness and figure events in 2002. A total of nearly 30 women competed- most were unknown nationally, but Holly Geerson and Lauren Powers (bodybuilders) and fitness women Debra Dunn and Grace Rivera did make it to national shows after this.  Prejudging and finals are shown.  Video running time about 100 minutes.

We had several photo/video sessions with Shannon in 2001-early 2002, and those are on WPW 483 which features posing, gymwork and interview. She was back up north again from the Carolinas in mid-2002, and this time she was in nice off-season shape- not hard, but somewhat defined, featuring beautiful muscle shapes and size. No gymwork or interview this time, but she posed in many bikinis and dresses, and for something different, she did some posing in lingerie. Although her own long blonde, straight hair was very attractive, for a different 'look' she did some posing in a wavy blonde hairpiece also.  Video running time about 70 minutes.

Marja was back in front of our cameras again in the fall of 2002, in ripped and huge contest shape at 5'2"130+ pounds. This time we did repwork with her in the gym, and that was followed by posing in four dress outfits, her stage routine at the 2002 Jan Tana Pro Bodybuilding contest, and an update interview. We have said it before regarding her previous tapings- one of the best women bodybuilders of all time.  Video running time about 80 minutes.

Diane was too impressive for just one videographer ! Our regular WPW video man, John Nafpliotis, taped her in ripped contest shape (5'6" 160 pounds) at the time of the 2002 US Championships, and freelance videographer, Tony Duffy, shot her in huge off season condition (180 pounds) later in the year. She hits the shots in many outfits for both tapings, and when off-season she showed off in the gym- dumbbell presses with 100 pounds for each arm (among the most ever), 405 pound hack squats and she was great at chinning. An interview also included. In contest shape she was very defined and vascular, and was still hard even at the 180 pound weight, featuring 17" arms and 27" thighs- one of the most muscular competitors ever, and she is still going strong on the scene entering the 2010 season. See WPW-536 for more with Diane.  Video running time about 2 hours.

The entire WPW-510 is now included on WPW-711

Sondra was a physiquewoman who was creeping into 'Laurie Fierstein territory' in terms of weight per height. At 5' even, she checked in at a huge 150 pounds during the 2002 off-season, featuring a very powerfully developed physique with 15" arms. And, she put those arms to good use in the gym where she did impressive lifting for chinups, bench pressing and leg pressing in particular. This was followed by posing in a bikini and several great looking dresses, and her interview- one of the best 'fireplugs' ever!  Sondra was from the New York area and we were able to do contest shape work with her in 2003, which is on WPW-562.  Video running time about 80 minutes.

The entire WPW-512 is now included on WPW-667

According to her interview, she only started to train in 1998, so she came a long way fast. She placed 5th in the 2002 Nationals when we did this work with her in terrific condition at 5'7" 160 pounds. At only 25 years of age she was unreal- with biceps measuring nearly 17" and 25" thighs. We also taped her at the 2002 US Championships (5th in her class there, also), and for both sessions she hit the shots in bikinis/dresses, and there is an interview. She was Heather Policky then, and she is one woman  who did stick around to have a great career as an IFBB pro, placing very high in top shows during the 2000's as Heather Armbrust.  NOTE: the entire WPW-512 is now included on WPW-667 with Claire Rohrbacker- if you order WPW-512 you will receive WPW-667.

This title includes the entire WPW-383

Our first sessions with Sherry in 1999 were on WPW 383, and all of that footage is now on this video with our work with her in 2002, when she was in top contest shape again.  Sherry was living in Oklahoma, and freelance videographer Danny Corn asked if he could to the photo/video work-  we are glad we went with him as the picture quality and content is very good, and Sherry looked super. She was very lean and defined at 5'7" 160 pounds, yet was still very strong for her gymwork, benching 225 for reps, lots of pullups, etc. She then hits the shots in a two-piece and several dresses, showing off her national caliber physique, and her new blond hair style was right on. This was our last session with her, but she continued to compete at a high level well into the 2000s before retiring.  Video running time about 2 3/4 hours.

We have to use the phrase 'great things come in small packages' here, as at 4'11" 100 pounds, Jodi might have been the lightest woman we ever did work with. She competed in bodybuilding and powerlifting during the late 1990s before turning to fitness/figure contests around the time of this photo/video session in 2002. The years of training heavy are still evident- despite her physical size, she was very leanly muscled, with small, but very peaked arms and chiseled back and chest poses. Although she was in her 30's at the time, she still looked like a teenager ! We were unable to do gymwork at the contest, but she poses in a bikini and several dress items, and is interviewed. We did more work with Jodi on WPW-552, which does include gymwork. To fill out this release, we added all of Jana Holmes' footage from Fitness Company Video 17, which was not in catalogue at the time (it is back in stock as a DVD now). Jana was not as lean as Jodi, but was a good match here as she was fairly muscular for a fitness competitor in 1992, when this taping was done, and she scored high in the looks department as well. Jana did some light gymwork, then hit the shots bodybuilding style in several outfits.  Video running time about 1 3/4 hours.

Melissa has been one of our most popular physique models since we met her in 1993, but it had been a few years since we did work with her, as she was pursuing her pro wrestling career. All of our past videos were taped by the regular WPW videographer, John Nafpliotis, but Melissa was in California in 2003, so freelancer Tony Duffy got the nod this time. Since she did not have to diet for contests, she added some size to her 5'5" frame, checking in at about 145 pounds, but still in very good, lean shape. The camerawork is good and steady, and Melissa is a pro at video sessions, so the posing in bikini and several dresses of this bodybuilding legend went well. She still has the size and hardness in her biceps and as always, she was very well groomed with lots of blonde hair. An update interview also included. Video running time about 1 hour.

Jennifer had been competing in local/regional shows in the mid-West before entering her first national shows- the Junior Nationals, then the Nationals- both in 2002. We were unable to do the video work with her then, but she traveled east in early 2003 when she was in beautiful off-season shape at 5'5" 160 pounds. She showed off some impressive strong lifts in the gym, then posed in a bikini and several dresses, displaying one of the best looking physiques ever- the muscle shapes were superior, and she had good size and definition for off-season. Adding to that were her facial beauty and long reddish-brown hair, and her camera presence and joy of posing may have been equaled, but never surpassed- a terrific video with a model who was really into it. We did more work with her in contest shape a couple years later, on WPW-681, and she continues to compete as a pro in a natural organization going into the 2010 season.  Video running time about 1 1/2 hours.

Jill was from New York City, but despite that, this was the only session we had with her, off-season in 2003. At 5'1" 135 pounds she was in smoother shape, but her upper body- particularly her arms- were impressively large and hard. She was very strong in the gym, showing off great strength for both upper and lower body lifts, such as deadlifts, chins, leg presses and dumbbell work- great gymwork! She then hit the shots in a bikini and several dresses- emphasis on her terrific upper body, but she had great calves also- and, her facial beauty is obvious from the guide photos. An interview also included. She was not on the scene for most of the 2000s, but recently resurfaced at a regional contest in NY, so perhaps we can reprise this video with her in 2010.  Video running time about 1 1/2 hours.

We did not know of Asa from competitions, but saw an article on her in one of the bodybuilding magazines- and lucked out as she happened to be in California at that time, so freelance videographer Tony Duffy was able to do this photo/video session on the spot with her in 2003. She was not here for a competition, and was off-season, but was reasonably hard with a very good upper body- and a decent six pack ! She did mostly repwork in the gym, but did a very large number of very wide grip pullups for that one strong lift. She then hit the shots in a bikini and several dresses and was interviewed. Aside from being from Sweden, we really didn't know much else about her, but for one session, she was a most beautiful bodybuilding model.  Video running time about 80 minutes.

Lindsay started her fitness career in amateur shows in the late 1990's, and the Maryland native moved up the physique ladder quickly- a result of her very muscular fitness physique, beautiful looks and impressive strength. This was our second release for her- our first tapings in 1998 are on WPW-377. Here, she was in top contest shape at 5'3" 130 pounds in 2003, showing off fitness muscle that would have been the envy of most light or middleweight bodybuilders, particularly for her incredible arms and back. We didn't get to do gymwork this time, but we include her impressive footage taken at three of the Extravaganza Fitness Strength contests, where she did an unreal number of curls, one-arm pushups and held the straddle. Posing scenes include bikini and dresses and an interview is included. For years Lindsay heard that she was too muscular for fitness and she should do the bodybuilding events- well, she did just that and continued to have a very good stage career as a bodybuilder during the 2000s. And, our follow-up video with her shortly after this shows her as a more muscular bodybuilder- that is on WPW-551.  Video running time about 2 hours.

We met Sophie at the 2002 Jan Tana, where we had our first photo/video session with her- that is on WPW-496. Only a few months later, in the fall of 2002, she was in New Jersey and we were most happy to do another session with her as she was up in weight (140 pounds) but still looked like she was in top contest shape. In addition, since she was not really dieting for a contest, she was very strong during the gymwork, which was followed by posing in bikini and dresses. Her upper body was still chiseled at this weight, and even her legs still had definition. An update interview is also included. We had an off-season shooting with the Canadian star not long after this- that is a lot of taping of one woman over the course of a year! Sadly, that last taping- on WPW-540, was our last, and she retired from the stage soon after.  Video running time about 1 1/2 hours.

This title contains the entire WPW-484

Marja has been our most often videotaped physique model during the first half of the 2000s, and we keep hoping for an off-season look for one session. Well, when we did this taping with her in 2003 it was not at the time of any contest, and even though she was 10 pounds heavier (150 pounds at 5'2") than her normal contest weight, she was again rock hard. We did lots of gymwork and interviews in our previous videos with her, so this time it was pure posing in a bikini and four great looking dress outfits. In addition, we added her 2002 session when she was in even more ripped contest shape, including an interview- so, the entire WPW-484 is included here - go to the area for WPW-484 for a larger description of that footage.  Video running time about 2 hours.

Kim was a top national bodybuilder when we had this off-season photo/video session with her in 2003. She checked in at 5'5" 145 pounds, and freelance videographer, Tony Duffy, taped her doing some very strong lifts in the gym, including 20 easy wide-grip chins, benching 315 for reps, strict curls with 135 pounds for reps, etc. Kim then hit the shots in many different outfits, showing an off-season physique which featured very good size and shapes, particularly for her arms and back. An interview is also included with the personable Oklahoman. Video footage runs about 1 1/2 hours.

The entire WPW-524 is now included on WPW-660

We have done a lot of work with Debbie over the past 5 years, and did more with her after this session, as she was able to vary her 'look' between ripped contest shape and being in awesome off-season shape. Here, two different videographers had 'half sessions' with her- In 2001 freelancer Tony Duffy started what may have been a 'Ray Martin' video, but it was never finished. Debi was in contest shape for his posing footage of her. When Debi was out east about a year later, regular WPW video man John Nafpliotis taped her in a few more outfits to complete the title. At that time, she was in true off-season shape displaying her trademark shapes and size, with good definition. No gymwork or interview this time, but this footage is now on WPW-660, which has more posing in very top contest shape, and an interview, so-  NOTE: all of the footage on WPW-524 is now on WPW-660, featuring more with Debi- if you order WPW-524 you will receive WPW-660.

The entire WPW-527 is now included on WPW-720

Alley was in top contest shape for our first tapings with her on WPW 511, but this time we got her in great looking off-season shape at 5'4" 155 pounds. Freelance videographer Tony Duffy put her through the paces in the gym- lots of strong lifting, particularly for her legs, then she hit the shots in a bikini and dresses- her biceps and calves were looking very good at the extra weight. An interview is also included. This was our last session with her, and although she was placing very high in the top amateur shows, she disappeared from the scene soon after.  NOTE: All of the footage on WPW-527 is now on WPW-720, which also features Pam Howard- if you order WPW 527 you will receive WPW-720.

This was our second tape with Nuriye and she still had not competed in a contest ! She was still in her early 20's and put some real size on since our last session, not that she needed it! At 5'9" she checked in at just under 200 pounds- her proportions were perfect and despite the added weight, her arms (16"), back and calves still were lean and hard. The gymwork was a combination of reps and heavy lifts, then it was on to posing in a bikini and several dresses, and an interview. Overall, she had a stunning look- not only the size, but the extreme physical beauty and terrific blonde hairstyle, which topped off one of the most attractive physique models ever. We had one more session with her (on WPW-577) before she moved to Florida shortly after that. Video running time about 75 minutes.

This title includes the entire WPW-486

We have had several sessions with Beth, both in top contest shape and off-season, and for this photo/video shoot the 2002 Jan Tana Pro Champ checked in at 5'5" 160 pounds- a great combination of off-season size and near contest shape definition. We did this work in 2003, and after her repwork in the gym, she posed in a bikini and dresses and was interviewed. She was from the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania area, and we had two more sessions with her after this- those are on WPW-565 and WPW-707.  NOTE: This video also contains the entire WPW-486 featuring our 2002 session with Beth.  Video running time about 2 1/2 hours.

The entire WPW-530 is now included on WPW-560

MaryLynne had been competing successfully in Canada for several years and won that country's Masters Bodybuilding title prior to our first photo/video session with her in 2003. She was one of the most impressive newcomers on the international scene and the 42 year old (!!) featured size (5'7" 160 pounds) and spectacular hardness and definition. Her lower body was lean and hard, but her upper body- biceps, chest and back- were truly top national quality. She was obviously in top contest shape, so we did repwork in the gym, then she hit the shots in bikini and dresses and was interviewed- quite an impressive physical specimen.  NOTE: All of the footage on WPW-530 is now included on WPW-560, featuring our 2004 session with MaryLynne as well- if you order WPW-530 you will receive WPW-560.

We had our first session with Michele when she was in top contest shape- that is on WPW-493. In our opinion, there are certain women who look better when off-season, and we think many will agree that she looks terrific here at 5'2" 130 pounds, about 15+ pounds heavier than contest shape. Her look was a sensational combination of muscle shapes and good size, combined with movie-star looks. She did reps in the gym, posed in a bikini and several dresses, and was interviewed- one of the best looking competitors ever. Future sessions with her are on WPW-600, WPW-657 and WPW-691.   Video running time about 80 minutes.

Carmen was the Canadian Bodybuilding Champ in 2001 and 2002, and we invited her down to the states for an off-season session in 2003, when she was a robust 5'3" 145 pounds. The 33 year old with the 16" arms pushed some heavy weight during her gymwork, then posed in bikini and dresses- she was not ripped, but had good definition with impressive muscle size and shapes, both for her upper and lower body. An interview is also included. This was our only session with her and we believe she fell off the competitive scene within a year or two of this taping.  Video running time about 2 hours.

Lisa was in top contest shape at 5'3' 120 pounds when freelance videographer, Tony Duffy, had this photo/video session with her in 2003. She recently completed a stint in the US Marines, and the 24 year old won her class in the Cal State Bodybuilding Championships soon after her tour. Tony did a complete gym workout with her, then she posed in a bikini and dresses, and was interviewed. She had a lean, wiry physique- not huge, but very hard and defined, and her biceps, back and chest poses were her best. We had another session with her (on WPW 608) and she has been enjoying a good competitive career throughout the 2000s, both in bodybuilding and figure events.   Video running time about 80 minutes.

Two of our favorite physique models on one tape! That normally does not happen often, but our session with Tazzie at the time of the 2002 Jan Tana Pro Bodybuilding show had to be brief, and her 1/2 hour footage features posing in a bikini and one dress, all in contest shape. Marja was in top contest shape also, having just competed in the 2003 Night of Champions Pro Bodybuilding contest, and she got 1 1/2 hours here. She did repwork in the gym, posed in a bikini and two dresses, and was interviewed. We have done many tapes with Tazzie since 1988, and many featuring Marja since 2000, and there was still more to come- Tazzie on WPW-641, WPW-737 and WPW-738, and Marja on WPW-604, WPW-619, WPW-636 and WPW-662!  Both are still on the scene going into 2010, so who knows, maybe we can get one more with each!  Video running time about 2 hours.

This was our second release for Dianne within a year- her 2002 sessions are on WPW 509. At the time of our first taping she was a top California-area competitor, but in 2003 she began placing high in the national shows, and still competes at a very high amateur level going into the 2010 season. Here, Dianne just won her class in the Cal State Bodybuilding contest and was huge and cut- how many of the top women can boast being in contest shape at 5'6" 175 pounds? Despite being dieted, she was very strong in the gym, particularly for dumbbells and lower body lifts, then freelancer Tony Duffy had her hit the shots in her bikini and dresses, where she displayed huge size and terrific definition and vascularity,  including 16" arms. An update interview is also included.  Video running time about 75 minutes.

This was our second video session with Vilma, her first is on WPW-455.  She was in contest shape and near contest shape last time, so we urged her to try for an off-season look here- she was big at 5'4" 160 pounds, but still pretty well defined again! She did repwork in the gym, followed by lots of posing in many outfits, including black leather hot pants by a motorcycle and some in a dress by a cannon. Her physique was impressive throughout, but her upper body shots were a bit better and more defined, including her famous arms. An update interview is also included. This was our last session with her, but until recently she had been doing well on the pro bodybuilding circuit, before the New Jerseyan retired.  Video running time about 80 minutes.

Melissa placed high in the Cal State Bodybuilding contest in 2003, when this work was done with her, and despite her great look and only being in her early 20's, many thought she had a great national career ahead of her. It did not turn out that way, but for a few years she did well in regional contests on the west coast. Freelancer Tony Duffy did this photo/video session and worked her in the gym- reps for her upper body and very strong lifts for her legwork. She then posed in bikinis/dresses and was in top contest shape at 5'6" 140 pounds, featuring a balanced physique (but with very good arms) and beautiful looks. Her interview also included.  Video running time about 1 1/2 hours.

This was our second session with Trudy- her first is on WPW 539. She did check in at off-season shape, sort of- at 5'3" she was a rock-hard 170 pounds (she competes at about 160) featuring her trademark upper body shots and vascularity. At the time of this photo/video shoot in 2003 she was improving her placings in the national shows, including a recent 3rd in the Jr. USA and was 2nd in the Jan Tana Amateur contest. We started off with her gymwork (she did a lot of chins for her weight, and other strong lifts) then moved on to her posing scenes in bikini and dresses. Again, at her weight here, lots of size (16" arms) and very good muscle shapes- and she was almost 50! Her interview also included. We taped her twice after this, those are on WPW-684 and WPW-719.  Video running time about 1 1/2 hours.

We met Colette in 2000 and had two sessions with her that year- they are on WPW-425. This photo/video shoot with her in 2003 was our second, and we did three more with her (WPW-569, WPW-631 and WPW-745) during the 2000s, making her one of our favorites for this decade. And, she is still competing- just placed 7th at the 2010 Ms. International at Arnold's Classic. Among other things, her goal is to edge out Sharon Marvel, Melissa Coates, Michelle Ivers, etc, as WPW's most oft-taped women ever, and there is a good chance that can happen as she lives locally in NYC and she looks great whether in ripped contest shape or when huge off-season. Here, Colette was in contest shape (5'5" 155) at the time of the US Championships and hit the shots in her bikini and dresses. Colette also takes pride in her strength in the gym, and even when dieting she did an unreal number of chins, some other strong lifts and some repwork. Her interview also included. We hope to catch up with her again in 2010.  Video running time about 1 1/2 hours.

We had our eye on her as a video subject for a while, as we were following her progress in powerlifting, then in the early 2000s, she started to compete in bodybuilding as well. She was an elite powerlifter (one of the best ever in her weight class) and with her huge overall win in the 2003 US Championships (when this work was done) she became one of the best powerlifting/bodybuilding combos ever. At 5'5" she had a great deal of muscle size, shape and hardness, featuring 24" thighs and 16" arms, topped off by a beautiful face and hair. We could not do gymwork at the contest site, but she posed in bikini and dresses and was interviewed. She turned pro at this contest, and did very well for many years in the top IFBB pro shows, but sadly, we were never able to catch up with the impressive Texan for more work again.   Video running time about 70 minutes.

We released our first video with Colette way back in 1994 (on WPW-245), then waited 8 years before revisiting her in 2002- that footage is on WPW-502. For this work in 2003 she was by far in her best condition ever, totally ripped and huge at 5'1" 145 pounds. The taping was done the day after the 2003 Jan Tana Amateur bodybuilding contest, which she won. No gymwork this time, but she posed in bikini and dresses, displaying muscle size, shapes and hardness seldom seen, ever, and her new hairstyle was right on. A great overall look. Her interview is also included, bringing her footage to about 70 minutes. Since we had the room on a two hour tape, we included  the entire Tana amateur contest- Trudy Ireland and several other regional bodybuilders were also in that show. This was our last photo/video session with her, and although she has not been in a contest recently, she is still on the scene, and we hope to catch up with her again one more time.  Video running time about 2 hours.

The entire WPW-544 is now included on WPW-626

Dena basically 'came out of nowhere' to win the 2003 Junior Nationals, and we set up a photo/video session with her at her next show, that year's US Championships, when she was again in terrific shape. We cant do gymwork at the contests, but Dena showed off incredible size and hardness during her posing scenes in her bikini and dresses. Normally, a woman 5'2" is considered 'off season' when at 145 pounds, but that is exactly her weight contest time, and she was not just defined, she was about as hard as one could get- a great job! With her total package, which also featured facial beauty and nice hair, Dena was able to turn pro soon after this, and continues to compete at a very high level in the pro shows going into 2010.  NOTE: All of the footage on WPW-544 is now included on WPW-626, which features our 2004 footage of Dena- if you order WPW-544, you will receive WPW-626.

The 2003 Tana Pro Bodybuilding contest featured 20 of the very top IFBB pros, including Angela Debatin, Joanna Thomas, Mary Ellen Doss, Susanne Niederhauser, Dayana Cadeau, Mah-Ann Mendoza, Vilma Caez, Monica Martin, Christine Envall, Jeannie Paparone, Claudia Bianchi, Tonie Norman, Helle Neilsen, Beth Roberts, Maria Calo, Susanne Bock, Sharon Robelle, Annett Wittig, Merette Harnnes and Carmella Key. The enitire prejudging and finals are included.  Video running time about 2 1/2 hours.
