Welcome to the Official Website of Emmanuela Pintus

"A living work of art..." -- Garry Bartlett, MuscleMag

Emmanuela Pintus is one of Canada's best-known female bodybuilders, combining exquisite beauty and perfect physique proportions.

Emmanuela's competitive career began at the 1998 Windsor Cup BodyBuilding Championships. In the following years she became the 2000 Western Ontario Champion, the 2000 Ontario Middleweight Champion, and in 2001 she won the lightweight class at the prestigious CBBF National World Qualifier.

So quick was Emmanuela's rise that in 2002 she was the focus of a special documentary on women's bodybuilding, produced by the television station The Score. That acclaimed feature has aired dozens of times nationwide, making Emmanuela one of the most recognized bodybuilders in Canada.

Emmanuela last competed in bodybuilding in the 2003 CBBF National World Qualifier where she placed second in the middleweight category. Weighing a clear seven pounds more than at her 2001 victory, many felt she was in the best shape of her life. And although that competition qualified her for the 2003 IFBB World Championships, Emmanuela knew that she still had plenty of competition years ahead of her and the best is yet to come. Instead, Emmanuela decided to take a short break from bodybuilding competition and concentrate on her education.

Today, Emmanuela has finished her education, she's a registered massage therapist, and has returned to the competition stage -- but not in bodybuilding, she's competing in figure, instead. She placed an amazing fourth at the 2004 Canadian Figure Championship (in a class of more than 25), and she placed sixth at the 2004 IFBB North American Championships. In 2005 she placed second at the 2005 CBBF Canadian Figure Championships, narrowly missing the top spot, and in 2006 she placed fourth in a very difficult competition.
