Laura Creavalle

IFBB Pro

Laura Creavalle was born on January 25, 1959 in Essequibo, Guyana but now resides in Canada. Laura was one of the most successful female bodybuilders of the 1990s. She earned her pro card by winning the heavyweight class at the 1988 IFBB World Amateur Championships in Puerto Rico. She was the first woman to win the Ms. International title three times (since matched by Vickie Gates, Yaxeni Oriquen, and Iris Kyle), and was twice runner-up in the Ms. Olympia contest! She holds the record for the most consecutive Ms. Olympia appearances with twelve (from 1988 to 1999), finishing below sixth place only in her first appearance. Creavalle was inducted into the IFBB Hall of Fame in 2007.

Laura has written two cook books, "A Taste of Club Creavalle" and "The Lite Lifestyle: 150 Ultra Low Calorie Recipes for Rapid Weight Loss!". She also co-authored The Health Handbook with former husband Chris "The Technician" Aceto.

Laura has been a feature editor for Muscle & Fitness and MUSCLE INSIDER magazine on low-fat cooking. Creavalle now lives in Toronto with her husband Colin Maragh.
