Cathy Gelfo

Cathy Gelfo and Mike Mentzer

Cathy Gelfo was the longtime girlfriend and fiancée of the late Mike Mentzer. They first met when Mike was serving in the Air Force in Maryland and she came with Mike when he moved to California to work for Joe Weider.

Cathy was said to be Mentzer's biggest fan, and was very defensive of him to the point of hating anyone who criticized him.

Although Cathy was not a bodybuilder, she did workout with weights and was very fit.

She helped Mike in his mail order business, and even wrote articles for Joe Weider’s Muscle & Fitness magazine with titles such as "Intensity Training for Figure Shaping: There's only one way to train - just as hard as you can!".

She also starred along with Mike and Ray Mentzer demonstrating exercises in the video "A Look at High Intensity Training" which was released in the early 1980's.

In the mid to late 1980's Mike and Cathy broke up and I guess she really liked mustachioed muscle men because she ended up marrying bodybuilder Clint Beyerle.

Note: Mike Mentzer's training is based on High Intensity Training for more info see The Colorado Experiment Workout
