San Antonio, TX — Christina Bitner, an IFBB Women’s Physique Division Pro, beloved wife, mother, and Instagram fitness influencer, who passed away suddenly on the evening of July 13, 2025. She was a role model in strength and compassion, and her death leaves an irreplaceable void in the lives of those who loved and followed her.
Christina, known both on the bodybuilding stage and in online circles as “Weights ’n’ Cakes”, balanced elite-level fitness with authentic joy and creativity. Whether sculpting her award-winning physique or decorating a birthday cake for a neighbor, Christina embodied excellence without ego.
A Life of Strength, Both On and Off the Stage

After years of relentless training, she earned her IFBB Pro Card and became a standout in the Women’s Physique Division, known not just for her muscular symmetry but also for her mental discipline and mentorship of others.
Her final competition came in 2021, after which she gracefully stepped away from the stage—but never from the spotlight. Christina remained active in the fitness community, using her Instagram to inspire aspiring athletes and everyday followers with honest glimpses into her routines, challenges, meals, and mindset.
From Bodybuilding Champion to ‘Weights ’n’ Cakes’

Her desserts were more than aesthetic—they were shared tokens of love within her community, bringing together fitness fans and foodies alike. Her posts reflected the layered balance of Christina’s life: driven but playful, disciplined but warm.
Family at Her Core
At the center of it all was Christina’s family. She was a deeply loyal wife to Brent Bitner, who works with Conquer Plumbing & Air, and a devoted mother who treasured time at home as much as any trophy. Friends recall her laughter at sushi nights, double-date dinners, and quiet evenings with her children—moments where she was most alive, most herself.
She was often described as “a light in every room,” with a kindness that radiated through both her friendships and her online presence.
Shock and Tribute from the Community
News of Christina’s sudden passing broke online through posts from heartbroken friends and fitness followers. One viral tribute read:

As of now, no official cause of death has been released. Still, the outpouring of support—from meal donations to condolence notes—underscores the lasting impact she made, far beyond fitness competitions or social media numbers.
Legacy of Empowerment, Creativity, and Compassion
Christina Bitner’s story wasn’t only about bodybuilding trophies or trending recipes. It was about serving her community, living her truth, and encouraging others to pursue wellness with joy and authenticity. Her Instagram feed became more than a content stream—it was a window into strength with vulnerability, success without ego, and fitness wrapped in love.
She is survived by her husband Brent, their children, and a large, loving extended family.
