Cheryl Zovich
Cheryl Zovich has been involved in competitive
sports, exercise and fitness her entire life. She started lifting weights 1981
and set her sights on bodybuilding. Several contests later, the realization that
competitive bodybuilding was not a healthy lifestyle or level playing field led
to her decision to change goals, which opened the door to a variety of training
methods. In 1997 Cheryl had spinal fusion surgery to correct a deteriorating
genetic spinal defect, but a life-threatening post-operative spinal infection
that required further intervention left her disabled. At odds with the medical
community, Cheryl created her own rehab program to try to improve her limited
mobility. Two years later she broke many of her old lifting personal
records.
In 1999, Cyberpump asked Cheryl to share her weight training knowledge with other lifters. She began to put some of her experiences and training advice in writing and helped Cyberpump create and launch Strong Women; one of the first women-led, interactive Internet lifting sites for women. Cheryl continues to demonstrate her enthusiasm for the Iron Game as a dedicated volunteer at the Hardgainer Roundtable, where she answers training questions and lends her support, insight and advice.
