Tri-Valley Fitness members bring home honors

Bodybuilder Joseph Davis, 44, of Casa Grande, took fourth place in the masters division of a May 26 bodybuilding competition at Venice Beach, Calif. Davis works as a service tech for Ferrellgas.
Venice Beach, or "Muscle Beach," the home of the first Gold's Gym, has launched many top bodybuilders, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom Plaze and Franco Columbo.

Davis trains at Tri-Valley Fitness in Arizona City, where he is also a personal trainer. He plans to compete again next year, this time with wife Diana and daughter Juliana competing.

Arizona City's Don Lopez, another Tri-Valley Fitness member, also brought home honors with first and second place trophies from the Western States Championships last March. Those wins qualified Lopez for the Natural Athletes' Sports Association's (NASA) annual meet earlier this month.

Again Lopez brought home honors, this time a third place plaque in Powerlifting, Bench Press and Power Sports. As if that wasn't enough, Don also took home a first place trophy for being the best overall in his weight and age divisions.

Way to represent Arizona City, fellas.
