    Dana Linn Bailey is an American IFBB Pro fitness and figure competitor (physique category). She is the winner of Joe Weider's Olympia in 2013.

    Career

    Dana was recruited to play soccer for West Chester University as a starting defender. She helped lead her team to NCAA's playoffs. When she graduated from college, she made the transition to lifting, along with her then-boyfriend Rob Bailey. [1]

    She entered her first figure competition in 2006 at the Lehigh Valley Championships and competed in figure until 2010. She taught Physical Education at Conrad Weiser Middle School in Robesonia Pennsylvania until 2007, when she retired to focus on her bodybuilding career.

    In 2010, she decided to participate in the very first Women's Physique show, which was the 2011 Junior USAs in Charleston, South Carolina. She won overall, received her IFBB pro card, and became the first women's physique professional in the NPC/IFBB. She is currently on hiatus from the Olympia competition, focusing on the gym she owns with her husband. [2]

    Following Dana's hiatus from competing, the Baileys focused on the development of the Warhouse Gym located in Reading, Pennsylvania. The Warhouse Gym is their commercial gym following the creation of their personal gym, which is known as The Warehouse. The Warehouse Gym was an exclusive gym meant only for competitors – this is the reason the Baileys purchased and created a public gym known as The Warhouse. The Warhouse gym is a state of the art training facility featuring top-of-the-line equipment brands such as Rogue, Nebula, Legend, Prime Steel, Hammer Strength, Cybex, Life Fitness, and several custom made pieces. The WHG opens 365 days a year and hosted events such as the Veterans Outreach Workout.

    Dana has made countless appearances since competing in events such as the Fit Expo, and guest-poses at the Flex Lewis Classic. Alongside these guest appearances, Dana has taken up several other competitions like the American Ninja Warrior, competed in Nationals Arnold Classic for Powerlifting, and participated in the Brute Showdown Women's edition alongside Brooke Ence, Maddy Forberg, and Mattie Rogers.

    Dana has also gotten more involved in the brand known as Flag Nor Fail, alongside her husband. Flag Nor Fail apparel has evolved with its owners to cater to more than just the fitness community but to the outdoors community. They have expanded to a larger warehouse since its creation and now ship worldwide to cater to the large fan base. The Baileys have also created their own supplement brand, Run Everything Labs, that features products like Enter With Purpose (their preworkout blend) and Destroy The Enemy (their thermogenic supplement). The Baileys have also created merchandise for all three brands (i.e., Flag Nor Fail, Warhouse Gym, and Run Everything Labs).

    Dana has also launched DLB Daily, which an online training program for those who cannot make it to the Warehouse gym. For a monthly payment, her plan provides daily workouts designed for her audience with specializations in different weightlifting sports, with a simple generalized meal plan to help her clients reach their fitness goals.

    Her net worth as of 2019 is approximately $1 million – $5 million. [9]
