Biography: 

Originally from Jamaica,W.I., Aletha is a 14 year active duty military member of the U.S. Navy.  She was a long distance runner from High School through her college years.   In 2004, she was diagnosed with cancer and had a change of routine.  Her healing process led her to start weight training instead of running.  Eventually, she entered the 2006 Armed Force Figure Competition and has been competing ever since. 

“This is my way of fitting in my uniform.”  My training for the past 3 years has given me nothing but pure satisfaction.  My zest for learning is forever being challenged with the change in the Figure community.  Training has given me the opportunity to dig deep within myself, like I did when recovering from my cancer, and discovering that with the help of our higher being, nothing is too far, too hard, or impossible to achieve.

What makes a great fitness model?

A fitness model must be just that, a model.  For me, I need to be a role model as well.  I feel that kids don’t have enough role models out there.  Being fit means a lot.  It covers a vast amount of your view on life (mental, spiritual, and physical strength).

What are the secrets to become a fitness model?

Keep the vision before you.  Think to the end.  Never lose site of your vision. 

 What did you do to become a model? 

I am hoping someone will see me and I will get into the industry one day.   

What are the benefits to being a fitness model? 

Keeping myself fit knowing that others are depending on me. 

What is your favorite things about being a fitness model? 

I’m in the best fitness state of my life and it’s only the beginning.

 

 

How do you stay beautiful?

 I take good care of my skin, hair, and nails.  It’s very important to keep in touch with my feminity.  Being in the military, I tend to forget that I’m a woman.  Working in a man’s world often causes me to be more aggressive than I’d like to be in the work environment.

How do you stay fit, do you have a personal trainer, chef, work out, what do you do?

 I journal my diet and weight training progress.  I train myself.  I have a great friend who gives me an honest opinion about my progress. 

How do you keep you skin healthy and fresh looking?

I apply a face mask at least once a week.  In between, I use toner to remove all the impurities from my face.  As for my body, I use Aloe after showering everyday.  It really makes my skin soft.

 What do you believe is good health and fitness?

I support health and fitness because it encourages everyone not to become lazy and to give them a vision of what they can become through training consistently and smart.

 Do you prefer to tan or use tanning lotion?

I love tanning in the buff, but I don’t do it for too long.  So, I use tanning lotion for my final touches.

 

 First Interest In Fitness/Bodybuilding: 

2006 Armed Forces competition in Anaheim, CA.

Goal Within The modeling/ Fitness Industry:

I would love to become a positive ambassador to the fitness industry.
