Muscular Woman - Jennifer Thomas, American professional wrestler, fitness model, choreographer

Jennifer Rachelle Thomas (born October 15, 1973) is an American professional wrestler, fitness model, choreographer and former bodybuilder. She is perhaps best known for her tenure in Ohio Valley Wrestling while under a developmental contract with World Wrestling Entertainment. She currently performs for World Independent Ladies' Division under the ring name Chloe.

In high school, Thomas participated in track and field, where she performed both sprinting and the triple jump. Upon graduating, she began working as a fitness model, and was Washington's finalist in the Miss Hawaiian Tropic USA competition in 2000. She then began competing in bodybuilding competitions in 2001, winning first and overall in the lightweight division of that year's Vancouver Classic. She would also compete in that year's MuscleMania SuperBody World Championships, where she finished in the top ten. In 2002, Thomas soon moved into fitness and figure competitions and placed third in her first contest, the Greeley, Colorado Aloha Classic. She then placed first in her second competition in the Capital City, Florida Championships and continued to find success in other contests throughout the year.

Additionally, Thomas began appearing in magazines, including the May issue of Southern Muscle Fitness, the June issue of Oxygen, the August issue of Women's Physique World and the September issue of Flex. In 2003, she competed in her final bodybuilding competition, and finished in sixth place in the heavyweight division of the California Championships while finishing fourth in the Championships' fitness division. While training for the 2003 competition in Venice Beach, Thomas was approached by wrestlers who worked out there and was recommended to try out for professional wrestling. After initially declining, Thomas decided to begin training for wrestling after persistent recommendations.
