On June 20, 1974, Alondra Chatman was born in Palo Alto, CA. Chatman’s transition to natural bodybuilding comes from an athletic background. She was quick to join sports growing up – from elementary school through college. Although, she didn’t start lifting weights until her first year of college as a volleyball player. When training with her volleyball coach, she fell in love with weight training. 

Her experience lifting as a collegiate athlete led her down her career path. Alondra Chatman started personal training and eventually opened up her gym after graduating. As a former athlete, bodybuilding sparked her interest after seeing her friend compete in the Figure division. She was drawn to the idea of pushing your body to the next level. 

The first show Alondra Chatman competed in was with the International Natural Bodybuilding Association (INBA)/Professional Natural Bodybuilding Association (PNBA). As a competitor who didn’t want to take PEDs, she appreciated that the INBA PNBA league drug tests their athletes who abide by the strictest drug testing standards for professional athletes – World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). She liked how this leveled the playing field for natural athletes.

  • RDL: I like both dumbbell and barbell Romanian Deadlifts to target hamstrings which are essential for properly balanced leg development.  
  • Cable Shoulder Raise: Lat Raise, Front Raise, Rear Delts, etc. i [sic] like to use the cables for a shoulder day finisher. The cables are great for isolating and fine tuning [sic].
