Getting Started
It all started in college when I began dating a football player at the University. Our favorite past time was working out at the gym. In the beginning, it was really fun having something in common with him, but after watching him compete in his powerlifting competitions, I started getting ideas of my own!!! I recognized that I was as strong as or stronger than most of the females I saw in the meets. It was then that I began my training regimen a little different. This time I was training for serious competition. I was hooked!! Because of my love for the sport, I now promote Bench Press meets. This is my 11th year promoting “The Best on the Bench Championships”. Usually I have two meets a year.
I have set and broken World, National, Regional and State records (148 weight class) in numerous federations (even my records). After years of competing as a powerlifter, I met Van Anthony IFBB Pro and “Chill Will” National Level BB. They suggested I now try something with a little twist to it. Of course it was BODYBUILDING! I was hooked once again.
After receiving my Pro Card in 2007 (NPA), Harry Silas, President of this federation, gave me the opportunity to promote a Bodybuilding Contest. My very own Bodybuilding Show!! The GK (Gloria Knight) Classic! WOW!!!
I am now a Promoter for both Sports:
Best on the Bench Championships
GK Classic Championships and
The Mega Muscle Expo
