NBJ is a monthly executive journal focusing primarily on the nutrition industry. NBJ also addresses how the industry impacts the larger food, pharmaceutical, and health care industries. They focus on such topics as business activities, market size & growth, trends, and opportunities in the nutrition industry.

In order to win a Business Achievement Award, companies must first be nominated by their peers, with final winners being decided upon by an internal committee of NBJ staff and editorial advisory board members.

Bodybuilding.com President Jeremy DeLuca had the honor of accepting these prestigious awards at the 2009 NBJ Summit at St. Regis Resort in Dana Point, CA.

“To be recognized by such an important group in the health and fitness industry is quite the honor. As exciting as our growth has been, the best part is knowing we are able to help more and more people every day reach the healthy lifestyle they are striving for,” said DeLuca.

Krista Pallett got hooked on body building during her senior year of high school.

“I stopped playing volleyball, and I needed a new goal,” the 19-year-old Great Falls woman said.

Last week, Pallett was named Bodybuilding.com’s Teen of the Week. For the honor, she received a T-shirt and a $50 credit to the Web site, which sells supplements and other supplies. She also had her photo and profile posted on the site for a week.

So far Pallett has participated in only one body building competition, last year in California.

She’s starting school at MSU-Great Falls College of Technology in August and didn’t want to overwhelm herself, so she took some time off from competing to build muscle.

That doesn’t mean she’s taking it easy. Pallett still weightlifts for about 90 minutes six days a week. She also does a cardio routine once a day. When she’s competing, she boosts her training routine to include cardio twice a day. She’ll start a new season of competing in 2010.

“You do a lot of heavy weightlifting and a lot of cardio,” Pallett said.

She also sticks to a strict diet, but all the work is worth it.

“Eating healthy and working out has just completely changed my lifestyle,” she said.

Pallett works as a personal trainer at Snap Fitness. She enjoys inspiring people and will work with anyone from a beginner to those who want to get into competitive body building.
