Actress/fitness expert Carla Punch

Carla Punch is a theater actress who has worked in different parts of the country, and she currently works as a fitness trainer in Washington, D.C. as well.

She was a regular performer in the Lorraine Hansberry Theatre in San Francisco from 2005 to 2011, having appeared in their productions of Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, Bricktop, and Black Nativity, among others.  She's even worked for the U.S. Justice Department, helping with pre-trial services.

As these photos make obvious, she can light up both a stage and a gym with her charismatic beauty. I think I'm in Punch-drunk love. :-)
