Full Name: Blair Mone

Height: 6'
Weight: 275Lbs

I
was the youngest of four boys; Brooks is the oldest, Ryan and Damon
who are twins and then me. However we all grew up in a small town
in southern Vermont called Manchester.
At 13 I began my quest for greatness in the gym, not to keep in
shape mind you. No my interest was inspired by my older brother
Brooks who I wanted to emulate.
Upon entering High school at 14 I began to direct my workouts for
performance and competition as Baseball, wrestling and Ice Hockey
became the reasons for training. I graduated from Burr and Burton
Seminary (my high school) in the spring of 1997.
That fall I went to Ithaca College in Ithaca, NY. I was enrolled
in the Physical Education program at first and change my mind a
little later on as I made the switch to Exercise Science, Pre-Med.
After a year there I decided to transfer to Springfield College
in Massachusetts. They have a well known reputation for the athletic
fields, and I was ready to bring myself to another level. It was
here that I was introduced to the sport of bodybuilding.
I had not considered doing a show until the fall semester that year
at S.C. I was guided through my training by a senior who had competed
before. His name was John Cena. We decided on a show that was to
be held that spring at Quinnipiac College in Connecticut. Thanks
to John, I took first in the Heavyweight and Overall in the teenage
division and 2nd in the Men’s open Heavyweight. So many thanks
to John and all the help he gave me that began my journey.
I then moved to Syracuse, NY in the summer of 1999. Here is where
I met Jeramy Freeman, my mentor and very good friend. I also began
Personal Training at the Bally Total fitness clubs in town. After
placing third in the Syracuse Ironman in 2000 and 2nd in 2001 I
approached Jeramy about working with me for my competitions. He
so graciously agreed and that was the beginning of very good friendship.
With his guidance he led me through several shows and helped me
make tremendous changes in my physique. (The
2001 Howell, NJ Golds gym Classic where I took 5th, the 2002 Syracuse
Ironman where I took 3rd, the 2002 NY States where I took 1st, and
the 2002 Jr Nationals where I took 4th).
In 2003 I waited to compete until the Nationals as I was blessed
with a beautiful daughter on February 10th; Victoria Joy Mone, she
is my little Angel!!!
It was also in that spring when I began to work for Jeramy and his
company, Well
Rounded Health and Fitness. Again with Jeramy’s
guidance we pressed on taking 9th at the Nationals in 2003, 2nd
at the Jr Nationals in 2004, 2nd at the North Americans in 2004
and 6th at the Nationals in 2005.
