Elli Nichole Wins APEX Pro Fitness Angels!
“A lot of time went into the costumes and posing for Fitness Angels. I think that’s what did it! I spent a lot of time and energy working towards my vision.”
Elli Nichole made history at IPL APEX III, becoming the first ever IPL APEX Pro Fitness Angels Champion.
With 17 Pro titles, Elli is the second most winning Pro in the history of the IPL. Elli has: Six Pro Bikini titles. Two Pro Fitness Angels titles. Three Pro Sports Model titles. And, six Pro Evening Gown titles.
BEN YOSEF: Congrats on earning the APEX Pro Fitness Angles title! You were amazing at that show and made history by becoming the first ever Pro Fitness Angels Champion. What was that day like for you?
ELLI NICHOLE: It was amazing. Grateful to have had this opportunity to be on the APEX stage again. This outfit had been sitting in my house for over a year! It was nice to finally be able to showcase it.
BEN: Sitting in your house for a year??? [laughs] why?
ELLI: Because I had bought it for the previous year APEX. And I didn’t end up doing that category at APEX. So I saved it for the following one. [laughs]
BEN: Ha! Awesome! It was well worth the wait! Being the number one athlete in IPL Fitness Angels is a pretty incredible feat. What do you think it is about you that has you sitting at the top? Also, rumor has it that you are no longer planning to compete in Fitness Angels, Bikini, Sports Model or Evening Gown either! What can you tell us about the transition you are going through right now and what your plans are for competition in the future?
ELLI: Thank you. A lot of time went into the costumes and posing for Fitness Angels. I think that’s what did it! I spent a lot of time and energy working towards my vision. The rumors are true. I plan on retiring from those completely and changing categories. I’m really excited! I have taken a year away from the stage and it’s been an awesome journey. I’m excited to debut in 2020.
BEN: You were such an incredible, dynamic force in those divisions and had a tremendous run of success. At this time you are the second most winning IPL Pro in the league. Those divisions will certainly miss you! What can we expect to see from you in 2020?
ELLI: Thank you! Honored to have come this far with so many other successful ladies! You can expect a lot more muscle!
BEN: So awesome! I am excited to see you bring it! It’s going to be a crazy year! Any final thoughts?
ELLI: Thank you! Excited for another amazing year!
