Catherine Zidell

Catherine started reading and researching everything that had to do with living a healthy lifestyle. 1996 found her in her best shape yet (forty one years old) and she decided to enter her first bodybuilding show. With a full time flight schedule to handle, she became committed to staying focused and on track for the show. Her dedication paid off as she finished second in her first show. She has now competed in over twenty two major shows since 1996. She placed first place in a large heavywieght bodybuilding class in only her second show and she knew she was hooked. She went on to place high in numerous local shows. She then decided to crossover to a figure competition in 2001. The highlight was the NPC Masters Teen and Collegiate Bodybuilding Fitness and Figure Nationals in Pittsburgh in 2004. She placed first in the Masters Figure 35+ at 49 years old. She then went on to top even that placing by winning the 35+ Masters Figure and the 45+ Masters Figure in 2006 at the age of 52!!

After retiring from 24 wonderful years at Southwest Airlines, she now serves as a full time Certified Personal Trainer, Fitness & Nutrition Coach as well as an NPC judge in Texas. Catherine holds certifications in personal training at both Cooper Institute and National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). She also has a biomechanics certification at Cooper and is currently getting a sports nutrition certification.
