Why did you become interested in fitness?
Sara had been dancing professionally for many years and loved working out. I was involved in sports in high school, was on the dance team at U.T. Knoxville and wanted an outlet for my competitiveness. Once we saw fitness on T.V. we knew we wanted to do it. I (Lea) hired a trainer first and a few months later Sara got started. Monica Brant was our first "idol." It is really weird to be friends with her now.

When did you first start working out?
We started working out seriously at the end of 1998. We worked out prior to that, but you know didn't really have much knowledge and were doing most things incorrectly.

What other physical activities do you enjoy to stay fit?
Sara: Going to dance class, taking gymnastics and aerobics classes, kayaking, mountain biking.

Lea: Backpacking, Hiking, Mountain Bike riding, kayaking, snowshoeing, rock climbing, bouldering, boxing, Yoga.

What are your goals within the fitness industry?
Our main goal right now is to break into mainstream print media. After that, we want to get into films as well. Winning the Olympia would be nice, but it is not at the top of the priority list. We would like to be spokesmodels for a major company, and travel the world promoting. And, we would like to host our own Fitness Talk Show. We are also involved with a "Stop Domestic Violence" Campaign and the Special Olympics and want to continue with projects like that in the future.
