@reshapewithalilandry
After winning Miss USA, Ali Landry was featured in the Iconic Doritos commercial which is still to this day the most memorable Super Bowl commercial of all time. This commercial launched her into a successful career as an actress, television host, and brand ambassador being touted as one of People’s, ‘Most Beautiful’!
With great business success, Ali is most proud, however, of her 17- year marriage and 3 beautiful children.
Not long ago, Ali was experiencing exhaustion, brain fog, hair thinning, slow digestion, low sex-drive, mild moments of depression and sleepless nights. She was not about to settle into this and decided to figure it out and reshape her health. This journey was the inspiration for the launch of her RE/SHAPE lifestyle platform focused on overall wellness, lifestyle, beauty, and fitness as it relates to your heart, mind, soul, and health.
Ali is committed to researching and curating the very best resources, products, and services along with sharing her personal network of the most trusted specialists with women around the world.

KELLY GUNTHER
@kellyguntherr
A girl next door! Had a dream, followed it, with a few bumps in the way, but never gave up, kept believing, knew how bad she wanted, pushed her way through & never gave up! When you put your mind to it, you can do anything, especially with a lot of belief in it! 2014 Olympian comeback kid!
At the age of six, Kelly Gunther knew she wanted to be an Olympian. However, she could never have predicted the challenges she would face to get there.
Kelly defied all odds to become a U.S. Olympian. Today, her story of achievement inspires others to persevere, dream big, and succeed.
Despite having a learning disability as a student, facing obstacles in her skating career, and nearly losing her entire foot on the ice in a double compound fracture, Kelly found a way to come back each time - earning her the nickname, “The Comeback Kid.”
By 2014, against the odds, she achieved her dream as a long track speed skater for the U.S. Olympic Team.

MISS VAL
@missvalkondos
Valorie Kondos Field is the retired head coach of the seven-time NCAA Champion, 22-time Regional and 18-time Pac 12 Champion UCLA Women’s Gymnastics team. Inducted into the UCLA Athletic Hall of Fame in 2010, the four-time “National Coach of the Year” was also named “West Region Coach” of the Year and Pac 12 “Coach of the Century” for her solid track record as a preeminent coach.
Affectionately known by her gymnasts as “Miss Val,” her reputation is only one reason that 46 former US national team members came through her program and why half of the last two Olympic teams committed to UCLA. Valorie’s coaching success can be attributed to her extraordinary leadership and mentorship of young student-athletes, and the way in which she used gymnastics as an avenue through which to teach valuable life lessons, while encouraging individuality and joy. Something Valorie learned from the late John Wooden, the legendary and most successful collegiate basketball coach of all time, who was one of her biggest inspirations, as well as a close mentor and friend.
Miss Val is a dynamic and charismatic speaker with an extensive schedule of “Corporate Coaching” events for national companies including JP Morgan Chase, General Electric, Gucci, AT&T and Jackson National Life Insurance, and has contributed to various panel discussions including Bustle’s “Rule Breakers” and the ESPNW Summit. In her TEDWomen 2019 talk, Miss Val inspires people to reevaluate their definition of success. She maintains that real success is developing champions in life, and that in order to motivate success, we need to inspire those whom we lead without compromising the human spirit.
As a recent breast cancer survivor, Valorie’s positive outlook and hope-filled message is impactful. She empowered her athletes to use their voices, to celebrate themselves, and to enjoy the elite sport that has damaged so many in the past. She also shared her motivating and inspirational messages with the world, with her book, “LIFE IS SHORT, DON’T WAIT TO DANCE: Advice and Inspiration from the UCLA Athletic Hall of Fame Coach of 7 NCAA Championship Teams,” which was released in Fall 2018 by the Hachette Book Group. In her free time, Valorie is active with the UCLA Jonsson Cancer Center Foundation, LA 84 Olympic Foundation, WISE (Women In Sports & Events), BCRF (Breast Cancer Research Foundation), Unite For Her, and many other charitable organizations, close to her heart.

NIA DENNIS
@niaadennis
Viral gymnastics sensation, “NiaNation” aspires to inspire. A member of the U.S. National Team from 2012-2016, Nia was a 2018 NCAA Gymnastics Champion and a leading contender on the UCLA Women’s Gymnastics team. “The Culture” was a recurring theme in the fun-filled floor routines of her college career, as she treated the gymnastics floor as her stage and the perfect place to showcase black excellence to the world. In February 2020, just prior to the global pandemic, Nia tumbled and hip-hop danced to a Beyonce inspired “Homecoming” floor performance at the UCLA vs. Utah meet, that highlighted majorette-style dancing typical of historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) which resulted in millions of online views, becoming the #1 trending topic online, and landing Nia a guest spot on The Ellen Degeneres Show. In February 2021, another one of Nia’s socially-justice filled floor routines from the UCLA vs. ASU meet, which came with a message of power and hope towards the push for equality, also wowed the internet and went viral at a time when the world needed to hear it the most, catching the attention of Michelle Obama, Vice President Kamala Harris and Janet Jackson, just to name a few.
As an “Agent of Kindness” for adidas women and Stella McCartney, Nia reflects on her passion for movement, storytelling and expression, while she uses her brand ambassador role and design aesthetics in collaboration with Sylvia P leotard lines to share a message of empowerment and encouragement to all young girls to shine bright and always wear their invisible crowns. Nia performed on the Gold Over America Tour with Simone Biles and an all-star team of world-class gymnasts in the summer of 2021 with a message of joy and the goal to inspire young athletes to let their inner gold shine through, while bringing the audience closer to the action than ever before. And, when Nia got the opportunity to train Joe, Nick and Kevin Jonas for their 2021 “Olympic Dreams Featuring Jonas Brothers” special, she was thrilled to provide the Jonas Brothers with her expertise and advice to help them pursue and conquer their own Olympic Dreams, while opening up the door to new and exciting adventures for Nia on a new and different stage....
These days, Nia has been talking about mental health on national platforms, focused on finding her balance in the world and helping others find their voices, especially during a time of extreme social unrest when more focus is needed and prioritizing mental health is the priority.
