numerous Television appearances in Canada.
Her slender physique and striking ethnic look brought Sharon success as
a fashion model in Canada including opportunities to begin Hosting
various Television and Video specials throughout the years.
At the pinnacle of her modeling/dance career, Bruneau contracted
pneumonia. To rehabilitate herself she began weight training and,
through the encouragement of Bodybuilding Mogul, Joe Weider, she began
entering fitness competitions and in a few short years, became one of
the most sought after and striking personalities on the Fitness scene.
Called "Bodybuilding's No. 1 pin-up" by FLEX magazine in 1992 through
1997.

In an age of specialization, Sharon Bruneau is far more than the
spectacularly honed body that has appeared on magazine covers
internationally and hosted fitness shows, events and network specials
over a decade.
Though long since retired from fitness competitions (1997), Sharon
still loves to work out but no longer in the iron gym. Sharon's passion
and athletic background stems from ballet/jazz which has become part of
her exercise routine once again doubled up with Pilate's and Wushu.
Whether Sharon is modeling, acting, Producing or hosting a motivational
fitness event, her work has taken her around the globe a few times over
the past 15 years and one thing is for certain, she has made an
incredible, positive impact to thousands of people either through her
many images or to those who have had the chance to come in direct
contact with her amazing energy.
