FMG PRESS RELEASE
July 20, 2010 - For those of you in attendance at the 2009 IFBB
Fitness Olympia, you unknowingly saw the last competition of IFBB
Fitness icon Tracey Greenwood. After a long and wildly successful
fitness career in both the NPC and IFBB, Tracey has decided she will be
retiring from competition due to lingering injuries and just moving on
in life in general. Yes, Tracey had thought about retirement previously
and honestly we laughed it off and told her that she still had her best
in her and not to retire. That was in 2008 when she won the IFBB
Houston Pro Fitness, IFBB Atlantic City Pro Fitness, won the IFBB Europa
Super Show Pro Fitness for the second time and finished second at the
IFBB Fitness Olympia. That same year she was voted the FLEX Magazine
Women’s Athlete Of The Year. Glad you listened to us Tracey! In 2009
Tracey started off the year placing third at the IFBB Fitness
International, won the Atlantic City again and unbeknownst at the time,
finished her career in third place at the IFBB Fitness Olympia.
This doesn’t mean you won’t still see Tracey. She is an expediter at almost every major NPC national competition, along with all the competitions in the NPC New York-Metropolitan district, is doing her
share of emcee work, is a personal trainer and continues to promote both
the NPC Tracey Greenwood Classic and NPC Deleware States.
Although now retired, rest assured that at 41 years old, Tracey’s physique can still stand right up there with any IFBB Pro Fitness competitor old or new. And in the end, she’ll always be “Trixie” to us!
About TraceyTracey has a PhD in Exercise Physiology and is a professor at Eastern University. Tracey holds 8 IFBB Professional titles and was runner up
at the 2008 Fitness Olympia. She was also voted the 2008 FLEX Athlete
of the Year. Tracey has been featured in several health & fitness
publications such as; Oxygen, Musclle and Fitness, FLEX, Ironman, and
many more......
