Sharon Bruneau

Sharon Leigh Bruneau, born on February 1, 1964, is a model and retired professional Canadian female bodybuilder and fitness competitor. She began her career as a fashion model and was successful until she contracted a bad case of pneumonia, which caused her to lose a lot of weight. After her recovery she began training with weights to regain the weight she needed to return to modelling, and after achieving a somewhat toned build she was rejected by model agencies for being oversized, so she decided to give up modelling and dedicate herself to bodybuilding. During her bodybuilding career she gained nearly 50 pounds, and then cut back when she changed to fitness competitions. She was on the cover of Muscle and Fitness and Flex.
