Welcome to Melicious Bikini's,
Melicious Bikini's is owned and operated by Melissa Zimmerman - Former
Oxygen Covergirl, Professional Fitness Athlete & Trainer to first
time Athletes to Pro Level Athletes. Melissa was National Fitness
Champion from 2004 to 2007 with various Federations then went on to
helping other athletes.
Mel felt a total lack of help and when help was available, it cost the
world! Mel went through all of the competition process with little help
or making do with what she had. Lucky she had some fantastic friends
who were already established competitors. A fortnight before World
Titles in Canada with the ANB/WNSO, Mel was told by a trainer at her
previous gym that she would not be good enough to make Top 10.
Upset and fired up, Mel trained harder and with fantastic support, made
the journey to Toronto, Canada, stood on that World Stage and came 3rd
among 17 American and Canadian Athletes. Mel also qualified for her
Pro Card. Mel remembers standing in a gym in Toronto being taught by
Australian Natural Body Builder - Terri Stone, how to pose for stage.
Terri Stone would set a precedence for who were genuine in the sport.
This is where she learned to try to turn all negatives into
positives.
Melicious Bikini's was born out of the need to wear a bikini that was
not generic and was under $400 but was still original and beautiful.
Melicious now ships bikini's off to the USA, Canada,China, Ireland
& of course, Melicious has been on every stage in most states of
Australia. Melicious Bikini's sponsors the amazing Sara "Pocket
Rocket" Picken Brown - IFBB Figure Athlete.
Mel also holds workshops for competitors, trains some of the NSW
Emergency Services, is a NSW Paramedic & most importantly is Mum to
Aaron, 17 & Amy Jo, 8. Mel loves to help other athletes & see
them complete their difficult but rewarding journey. With her honesty
and "No bull" attitude, athletes cannot be set up to fail. Mel took
all the bad things that athletes were complaining about & made sure
NONE of it became part of their journey.
Mel also loves to support the Australian Fitness Industry as she knows
it can only help athlete's. The Australian Fitness Industry is so
small, helping eachother will only make us all stronger. We have some
of the most beautiful Models, Figure & Fitness Athlete's in the
world as you will see on the Melicious Website
You have one body & one life, make them both the best they can be...
