Latest News 2/5/12: Good morning! I cant believe I have not gotten to update this page since December! Thank you all so much for following my pages on FaceBook!
I have been training very hard for the upcoming Arnold Classic, which is in 3 weeks!! I have focused a lot on lean muscle with a fuller look than I had last year at the Arnold. Last year I was a mere 118lbs on stage and was way too ripped! I won the best female abs contest just before that show and didnt fill out as needed. This year I will hit the stage in Columbus at 132lbs of hard earned lean muscle and some more Glutes! I lost 1st place in Lakewood last fall by a point because they felt I needed a little more glute. So glutes they will get! Im so ready and so blessed for another opportunity to do what I love to do! All my clients are hitting their goals and life is good!
If you plan on attending the Arnold Classic in a few weeks, please stop by to see me and say hi. I may be at the Species Nutrition booth, BRS, or Buildingbrawn.com booths. See you all soon! Muah!
Glutes! Boom!

Latest News: 10/26/2011 Good evening, Im so happy and proud to share with you the success of my Bella Bikini Girls in their first bikini competition. They have worked so hard to reach their goals! They set forth a journey only the elite make it through. So many say they are going to reach a goal or make it to stage level, but very few actually follow through. As their trainer, I can only provide the inspiration and motivation, but they had to provide the perspiration. They sacrificed all summer long, avoided temptation, did not fall into mediocrity and proved to so many how strong they really are, and made their mark in the bikini world. Enjoy their stories below. Im so proud of you Jessica, Nicole and Laurel! My newest Bella Bikini Girls 2011
As
I look back to how far I have come, what I have learned, and how I have
grown there aren't enough words for me to say "thank-you" to Amy Bella
Orzechowski for all she has done for me. I have always been very active
in
my life; played sports throughout my years in school and continued to
stay
active through running and step aerobics in college and after I
graduated.
The sport of Bikini fitness has always intrigued me; I just
never knew the
proper way to train or eat, let alone have the confidence
or someone to
believe in me. Then, I stumbled across Amy. She taught me
how to properly
train my body the right way ( I now have a passion to
lift thanks to her), she
taught me which types of foods I need in my
body to fuel it, and which types
of food I should eliminate from my
body; basically how to eat clean. She also
believed in me and gave me
the confidence to get on stage. If it wasn't for
Amy and her husband I
wouldn't feel as good as I do about myself now.
I feel more energized,
less lethargic, and overall happier. I love the way I
feel about myself
when I look in the mirror, and I look forward to even more
changes in my
body as I continue on in this journey with her by my side.
I would
recommend Amy to anyone and everyone.
Whether they just wanted to lose
some weight, tone up,
learn how to eat clean, or even embark on their
own journey to compete.
Thank-you Amy from the bottom of my heart.

Before starting my training with Bella-Fitness, I never really thought I was “fat”. I knew I wasn’t at a comfortable weight though. My pants were tight and I couldn’t wear tight fitting shirts without seeing that “roll” over my jeans. When I first sat down with Amy, my goal was to lose 10 lbs. Even that felt unattainable at the time. Amy made it sound possible though. She was easy and fun to work with. She did a great job of working around my hectic schedule (I often work nights and weekends for my career). She was always quick to answer emails, phone calls and texts which was great. You don’t get such personal service with other trainers. I could call her at 9pm to ask a silly question about which peanut butter was best and she would answer! Of course when you’re new, no question is “silly” and Jeff and Amy made sure I knew that!
Once I got started ,it was addicting. I felt really powerful and almost special when it came to dinner and everyone around me was chowing down and I had to have my “specially prepared” meals. I felt like a real athlete. After 4 weeks the pounds were melting off! Even after a 7 lb loss I felt so amazing, that I wanted to do more. That’s when I knew I wanted to compete with other bikini girls. Everyone called me tiny before (I was 5’3 and weighed 128lbs) but now people started saying “wow you’ve lost weight. Your pants are HUGE”. It felt so good. I actually had to buy new clothes because everything was huge on me. My friends were jealous, my boy friend was proud, and most importantly I felt confident and sexy. Something I hadn’t really felt since college.
Fourteen pounds, two pant sizes (I barely fit in a zero now) and a fourth place finish in my first bikini competition later, and I am a changed person. It was so easy and fun with Amy. I mean she motivated me. She made me WANT to work out and make her proud. I don’t think I would have ever stuck to it as long as I did if I didn’t have a trainer I genuinely cared about and wanted to impress. It didn’t stop after the show either. I took a two days off of dieting and working out and I’m already going nuts! I can’t wait to get back to the weights. It truly became a life style. I can’t wait to start training for my next show. I know that Bella-fitness will be there for me when I need them.
Do it for yourself. Do it because you really don’t even know what you’re capable of accomplishing and nothing feel betters than surprising yourself and your loved ones. Do it because you deserve it.
I love you Amy & Jeff. Training aside, I feel like we are family now. I can’t thank you enough for your support, motivation and of course training!

My whole life, I had never done so much as picked up a weight in a gym. I’d gone to the gym sporadically, and while I was at the gym I would only get on the elliptical, or take a few classes here and there. I was extremely self conscious, and even more so after having a baby and having even more extra weight. I tried a lot of unhealthy ways to get rid of weight, and I would always drop the weight but my body never looked quite right, and I’d always quickly gain it back. I had a few trainers lined up for consultations, and then a friend recommended Amy Bella Orzechowski to me, so I met with her as well. When I first arrived I immediately knew Amy would be the trainer I’d go with. She was very personable, made me feel comfortable and like I’d known her for years. Things were really rocky in my personal life throughout the training, and I wanted to quit more times than I can count on all my fingers and toes, buy Amy continued to motivate me and reminded me why I started training. I wanted a healthy lifestyle more than anything, and I wanted to feel good about my body. I wanted confidence. As we got closer to the end of our training, I realized that I had not only an amazing motivator but a friend, and someone who truly cared about my well being. Amy was such an inspiration to me, and now I have people telling me that I am an inspiration to them. She not only helped me transform my body, but she helped me transform my life. She taught me that when people tell me I can’t do something, it should be used as motivation to push me more, and in the end… I did it! A person who after having a baby weighed 174 lbs now has gone up on stage in a bikini, weighing 121 lbs and looking great… and that person was me! I never thought I’d ever do something like this, but I am so glad that I did. Amy Bella changed my life!

Latest News 10/02/11: Hello
Friends and future clients! Im back from the 2011 Ohio Natural Northern
Championships and Im happy to say I took 2nd place! I was tied for

Latest News 06/01/2011: Good evening! Congratulations to one of my Bella-Girls Christie Rose. Christie took 3rd place at her first bikini / fitness show in Pittsburgh this past weekend. Her stage presence and confidence was nothing short of perfect. Christie had an amazing 12 weeks of training with Bella-Fitness. Her dedication was impeccable as she went from an original 18.6% body fat to a mere 11% at show time. Her motivation may of been ignited by those who may of doubted her. Not only did she prove those negative people wrong, she also found an inner strength in herself that will carry her on to the next level. Christie followed the program Bella-Fitness prescribed to her flawlessly. As with any extreme training, athletes have their ups and downs, and Christie rode those emotional waves like a true champion. Its athletes like this that separate themselves from mediocrity and grow as an individual. This little Italian has a fire in her belly, one that we all get once on stage. There is no stopping her now. Look for Christie this fall at the Natural Muscle shows. For now Christie will remain under my wing while we take the summer to increase her lean muscle before we cut her diet again. Im so proud of her and honored that all my clients allow me to be a great part of their journey. Great job Christie!
Latest News 05/27/2011: Good morning! Im gearing up to head down to Pittsburgh PA to support my Bella-Girl Christie Rose in her first Bikini show.

As for me, I have a few preliminary shows in mind. Im super excited to get back on stage soon. I have several photo shoots to do first and a few shows for Species Nutrition- I will be working the Species booth at the Pittsburgh show July 22-23. More to come soon!

Latest News 03/20/2011: Good morning. I wanted to share a little story about a dear friend of mine who was so kind to invest her time in me early in my bikini training. Early in 2010 I decided to take the path of bikini competitor. I had nothing more than a magazine and a few internet articles to learn from. There were 3 IFBB Bikini Pros that motivated me, gave me encouragement and each believed in me enough to share advice. Those 3 pros are Amanda Latona, Stefanie Lindsey, and my very dear friend Alea Suarez.
Alea was initially just a FaceBook friend, and I eventually got to meet her at The Arnold in 2010. Prior to meeting face to face, Alea continually watched my progress and gave me tips and constant motivation. I will never forget walking down the isle early at The Arnold Expo and seeing Alea in the SAN booth. I was taken back by her beauty and her reaction to seeing me was overwhelming, as we were both overly excited. She treated me like a long lost friend! Ever since then Alea and her very supportive and loving husband Aziel, have been great inspirations to me and to so many others. I am forever grateful for Alea's friendship, guidance and believing that I could be something. She is truly a beautiful woman inside and out.
Alea is an IFBB Pro Bikini competitor and is now on a journey and transformation from bikini to figure competitions. Alea is a true champion and will be very successful in her new journey. I wish you all the best, and I want you to know that Im so blessed to call you friend. Thank you Alea, for being you -gorgeous girl.

Latest News 03/19/2011: OH my legs!! Last leg day before the CAN/AM in Buffalo NY next Saturday. I am a lot fuller than I was at The Arnold. I liked my tight abs, and they are still there, just not as prominent. Needed a softer look for the show. Im going to keep my caloric intake up and my training has really intensified! Im really focusing on each muscle group and really squeezing on the contraction portion. Going to spark some new growth.
One of my sponsors had a great idea. Im going to create a sponsor page that has 100 squares, and each square is for sale for your ad or best wishes. The more squares you purchase the bigger the ad or wish! I will give you more details as it is finalized within this week. I appreciate all those who continue to support me with motivation and of course those who financially assist me to each and every show. I love you all and will start my round of new pics soon. Look for a fuller Bikini figure soon! Muah! ~Amy Bella
Latest News 03/16/2011: Good afternoon all..!! Its been over a week since the Arnold and Im just now coming down from all the hype and excitement. Few updates for you- I decided to go ahead and do the CAN/AM Bikini show in Buffalo NY on the 26th. I have really decided to step back a little and focus on my training, but due to commitment, I will indeed do this show. I have increased my training and my caloric intake accordingly. I have been training in an exclusive gym that is beyond perfect for me. They gave me full access 24hrs a day! I love to help the other members there as well and I feel truly at home.
Im currently working with my supplier for the Bella-Fitness tank tops the girls have been asking for. The colors will be black with hott pink lettering or white with black lettering. As soon as they become available I will add it to the site. I already have pre-orders so if you would like to order now, send me an email and I will add you to the list. Im so blessed to have all of you in my life, and thank you for believing in me!
