DSCN0167My name is Yanila Nino I’m originally from Columbia and currently reside in Miami, Florida.  I am 37 years old  5 ’4” 134 lbs.

I currently work as a bartender at the Clevelander. Staying in shape and being consistent has always been a priority of mine. My hardwork and dedication in the gym made me realize that I wanted to become a bodybuilder. This journey  was cut short because, I developed an injury which took me out of the gym for eight (8) months.

During that time period I was receiving professional guidance from my Physical Therapist. Once my body recovered fully and  regained its strength I was able to continue lifting weights again. After rejoining the gym my focus was on building my strength and sculpturing my physique to compete in a figure competition.  It was very challenging for me at first, but now with the guidance of Rosemary Jennings  a IFBB professional and Alex Ramirez a professional trainer I am now back on track currently preparing for my first figure competition  in Orlando, Florida on April 16 and 17, 2010.

Besides being a gym fanatic, I am a Latin dancer, who loves to cook, design clothing ,and meet people from all walks of life.
