Sweating it Up at the Steve Stone Mets & NY Fitness Pro!
04.06.2010 14:37:36

Wow, this past Saturday at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center was awesome.  Even on Easter weekend, as early in the day as prejudging was, the Steve Stone Mets had a roaring crowd!  Kudos to Steve Weinberger and Bev Francis on their first show of the year.  The amateur competitors looked lean and hard as they strived to place in the top five.  It was hard to know if the warmth of the day, and the rising thermometer, was actually due to the hot fitness pros tearing up the stage inside the auditorium.  Overall winners for the NPC Steve Stone Mets were:  Sean Andros (men's bodybuilding), Tom Kyte (masters bodybuilding), Dominick Cardone (teen bodybuilding), Nicole Borigiorna (women's bodybuilding), Elizabeth Earhart (figure), Sue Dent (fitness) and Nicole Nagrani (bikini).  Tanji Johnson took the 2010 New York Pro Fitness Classic title, with Trish Warren in second and Bethany Wagner finishing third.  Stay tuned for more great stuff and get ready for the Jay Cutler Classic and the New York Pro and New York Pro Bikini Championships!

The Ice is Cracking and the Snow is Melting!
03.10.2010 12:58:41

Don't be fooled by the snow, spring is almost here, and with it comes the first two shows of the year, The Steve Stone New York Metropolitan and the IFBB New York City Pro Fitness Championships to be held on Saturday April 3, at the Tribeca Center in lower Manhattan.  Prank all you want, we are looking forward to some wicked bodies in the house, no foolin!  Like last year, we are anticipating another great turnout.  For any questions, you can go to http://www.bevfrancis.com/contests/schedule for the entry application and ticket information.

The Arnold Classic was another great event this year in downtown Columbus!  Adela Garcia took the overall fitness title while Nicole Wilkins Lee won the Figure overall.  Iris Kyle made history with her fifth Ms. International win at the Arnold Classic on Friday night at the Veterans Memorial Auditorium.  And Kai Greene, after winning the best posing award, went home that evening with back-to-back Arnold Classic wins under his belt.  Not to mention we ran into many of our friends:  Jay Cutler, Ronnie Coleman, Lee Haney and many more!

Check out all the pics from the Arnold Classic Gallery here: www.bevfrancis.com/gallery.

Stay tuned this week and look for IFBB athletes to pop in for filming after the Arnold Classic!
