Our Exclusive Interview with Miss Koya Webb

How did you get started in the fitness industry?
I won the figure and fitness model divisions at the WNSO FAME Sunshine State competition in Miami, FL in March 2005. This was my first introduction to the fitness arena. I’ve always admired sculpted bodies and a fellow aerobics instructor (Sandra Augustine) told me I should try figure competitions. I was skeptical at first, but thought it would be a great way to meet other fitness professionals and jumpstart my career in helping create a healthier society.

What do you feel is your biggest accomplishment?
My biggest accomplishment is realizing my purpose in life which is to live mentally, spiritually, and physically fit and share this way of fitness with others.

Is fitness modeling/ competition your full-time job?
No. I’m also an actress, strength, conditioning, and lifestyle coach for the San Diego Siege(Women’s semi pro basketball team), and a vegan and vegetarian chef at Ranchos Restaurant.

What are your long-term goals?
My long term goals include owning a full service spa, an Olympic Gold Medal, my own production company and talk show, a couple fitness videos, a healthy restaurant, an uplifting CD, and a couple of books.

What supplements do you use?
I use Arbonne’s women’s multi vitamin and essential fatty acid supplement, a Mega B-Stress by Solaray, and Silica by Eidon

How do you motivate yourself to stay in shape?
I keep pictures of my self when I weighed 135 and was 9% body fat in my journal. When I start slipping I remind myself that once it’s gone, it’s twice as hard to get in back.

What tips would you give to someone who wanted to get into the fitness modeling (or fitness competition).
I would tell them to research exactly what they want to do and learn how to be the best, but most of all have fun.
