IFBB Pro Mona Muresan is the online editor for Muscle & Fitness
« on: October 27, 2011, 10:42:39 PM »
Seriously, Mona is now the online editor of Muscle & Fitness Hers - and running a steakhouse.... and competing in the IFBB as a competitor?





Mona Muresan, 35, a Romanian beauty and owner of a popular Financial District steakhouse, is also catching fire on the female-bodybuilding circuit, winning seven state and national competitions since 2008. The married Edgewater, NJ, resident is set to show off her phenomenal form in a crystal-laden, $900 string bikini during her first international competition, the Pittsburgh Pro, on May 7.

The 5-foot-7, 135-pound stunner is running laps around her competitors in the "figure" category, where contestants are judged on their feminine beauty along with their ripped physiques.

"She's a genetic freak. Most women would kill to be in her shape," said Carlo Filippone, a champion bodybuilder from Fort Lee, NJ, who helped train Muresan. Muresan owns Nebraska's Steakhouse, a Stone Street spot known for its bodacious Eastern European bartenders and sexy holiday parties. Wall Street regulars include honchos from Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and AIG.

The determined dame started as the steakhouse's coat-check girl after she immigrated with her family from Transylvania in 1992. She climbed her way up to bartender and scraped together the money to buy the place when the owner decided to call it quits in 2006.

Besides the $42 prime rib, part of the restaurant's attraction is Muresan's massive muscles. She can do 500-pound leg presses and 200- pound squats but still has a 24-inch waist. The former runner started bodybuilding in 2004 as a way to get back in shape.

While Muresan loves to look like a million bucks, she's no snob. She regularly dispenses diet advice to curious bar patrons and has helped many customers lose weight, she said. And though she gets challenged to arm-wrestle "all day long," Muresan usually declines. She doesn't want to embarrass her male patrons with her finger-crushing grip.

Mona is a sweetheart.  I've spoken with her on several occasions.  She's not a snob at all.  Rather soft spoken actually, but it's not hard to tell that she's a hard working person.  Carlo Filipone is her trainer.  Carlo's a great guy too and an excellent cook.  His "In motion meals" aren't entirely practical for what you pay, but they do tsste amazing so buying a few of them isn't a bad move.

Wow! For someone with no publishing experience, Mona is moving up the ranks fast.   Tell me, how can a person that doesn't know how to publish and edit a magazine be named Editor-in-Chief of Muscle & Fitness Hers.





Mona Muresan Named Editor-in-Chief of Muscle & Fitness Hers

IFBB Figure Pro Mona Muresan has been named Editor-in-Chief of Muscle & Fitness Hers. Mona is an active competitor in the IFBB Pro league and the owner of Nebraska Steakhouse in New York. Mona appeared on the September/October cover of the magazine she will now oversee.


NEW YORK, Nov. 8, 2011 – David J. Pecker, President, Chairman and CEO of American Media, Inc. (AMI) today announced that IFBB competitor, Mona Muresan, has been named Editor-in-Chief of Muscle & Fitness Hers.

Muscle & Fitness Hers, the bi-monthly magazine, is written and designed for the active woman who wants more out of fitness. A success coach in print and on the web, Hers presents expert advice in a service-oriented manner on training, nutrition, health, beauty and fashion. The Hers reader works extra hard to achieve a “super-fit” lifestyle that permeates all aspects of her life in and out of the health club and Ms. Muresan represents this industry and its readership.

“We are thrilled to welcome Mona to AMI as she is here to infuse Muscle & Fitness Hers with her expertise and knowledge of the world of fitness, training and nutrition,” said Mr. Pecker. “Her hands-on experience as a competitive IFBB Figure Pro athlete brings even greater credibility and a wealth of knowledge of the sport to the magazine.”

“As an active IFBB Pro figure competitor, I am delighted to take on the role as Editor-in-Chief of Hers,” said Ms. Muresan. “As a woman who lives and breathes the industry, being able to transform the magazine with content that the female fitness enthusiast wants is incredibly important. We will continue to cover a broad range of subjects in a new and exciting way that will energize readers each time they pick up the magazine. It will be an empowering must-read that not only inspires women to set life-improving goals, but gives them the tools to reach them.”

Ms. Muresan relocated to the United States almost 20 years ago from Romania and is a proven success in her various business ventures. Most recently, Ms. Muresan had a stellar beginner season in the competitive physique industry among some of the top competitors. She has grown immensely in the short period of time since she began competing, earning IFBB pro status in less than three years and in only her sixth competition. Not only has Ms. Muresan established herself as a success as an IFBB figure pro, but also as a business woman as the owner of Nebraska Steakhouse, one of the premiere steakhouses in New York City

Ms. Muresan will report to Mr. Pecker effective today.
