Interview with IFBB Figure Pro Amanda Savell

Amanda Savell

IFBB Figure Professional and superstar Amanda Savell, the runner-up at the 2007 Arnold Figure Invitational in Columbus, did not receive an invitation to the 2008 Arnold Classic. In an exclusive interview conducted one week before the 2008 Arnold, Amanda discusses such topics as her snub by the committee, her background, her career accomplishments, and her outlook on life.

By figure and fitness industry definitions, IFBB professional Amanda Savell had an amazing year in 2007. As she reached the pinnacle of her sport, Amanda took the fitness magazine world by storm as well with a much heralded cover on Oxygen magazine and major appearances in Muscle and Fitness, Flex, and M&F Hers. On the competitive stage, she finished runner up at the 2007 Figure International and in the top five at the 2007 Figure Olympia. Throughout the year Amanda was the epitome of stage-defining figure excellence, with a combination of muscle size, shape and symmetry, incredible conditioning and undeniable beauty and femininity.

On top of all these successes, Amanda has that attitude and determination that can’t be taught. She lifts heavy and diets hard, and at the same time works to achieve balance in her life. But the past year has also been important in Amanda’s life in many other ways, with an opportunity for personal growth. As she has faced one challenge after another, including most recently not getting an invitation to the Arnold, she has met them head on and has learned a lot about herself and her focus in life, and has moved forward with inner and outer strength and without regret.
