Vernonia’s Moeller is World Champion
Vernonian Collin Moeller has
been named the International Natural
Bodybuilding Association (INBA)
World Champion, competing as an
amateur teen.
Moeller, eighteen, who works
out at Terry’s Gym in Vernonia, recently
returned victorious from Hollywood,
California, where he competed in his
very first bodybuilding competition.
Moeller competed against over twenty
competitors from around the world
including Taiwan, Australia, Egypt,
Japan, and China.
“I always dreamt of being in
a competition like this and winning a
world championship,” said Moeller
upon his return to Vernonia. “I never
thought it would be this soon into my
career. But when they announced, ‘The

The INBA strictly monitors
for performance-enhancing drugs and
requires urine, blood and polygraph
testing to ensure that all competitors
are clean, conforming to International
Olympic Committee Standards.
Moeller says he has been training
for body building with Terry’s Gym
owner, Terry Fultz, for about six years.
“I’ve always been into weightlifting,”
says Moeller. “I remember when I was
really young, like six or seven, I would
put myself on little workout regimens.
Then my dad started showing me how
to work out and I started working out
with him and he’d bring me up to the
gym when I was young. And then I
started training off and on with Terry.
And eventually Terry asked me to start
training regularly with him. I’ve always
been very health-conscious.”
Fultz is himself a long-time and
well respected bodybuilding champion
in the Pacific northwest.

Here’s one habit that’s good for all of us: wearing a safety
belt every time we’re in the car. Crash tests show that even
at a lower speed, like when you’re driving through a neigh-
borhood, safety belts can save lives. Columbia 9-1-1 asks
you to take safety into your own hands and buckle up every
time you get into the car. We’re always here to help in an
emergency. But we’d rather help you stay safe.
