Hi, I’m Clarisa Arellano — founder of Showtime Tans and the person behind the glow at bodybuilding competitions across Northern California.
My journey into competition tanning started not behind a spray gun, but on stage. As a figure competitor in 2009 and 2010, I discovered I was allergic to the tanning solutions being used at shows. Instead of walking away from the sport I loved, I went on a mission — developing my own hypoallergenic, natural competition solution so I could return to the stage in 2012 until I retired in 2015.
What started as a personal solution became something much bigger. In 2012, once our formula was perfected, Showtime Tans was born.
For over a decade, I’ve had the privilege of helping athletes look and feel their absolute best when it matters most — under the bright lights, on competition day. I understand this world from the inside out, because I’ve lived it. That’s what makes Showtime Tans different: we don’t just tan competitors, we take care of them.
Whether it’s your first show or your hundredth, you deserve to step on stage with confidence. That’s what we’re here for.

Co-Owner
With 11 years of successful coaching experience, I’ve dedicated my life to helping athletes reach their highest potential. As an Olympia and Masters Olympia-qualified coach, as well as an Arnold Classic-invited coach, I bring over a decade of firsthand competitive and coaching experience to every athlete I work with.
As a full-time elite coach, father of four, and man of faith, my passion extends far beyond the stage—I am committed to creating a positive impact on the lives of those I mentor.
That same love for coaching, the sport, and the bodybuilding industry has inspired my vision for Showtime Tans: delivering a completely elevated athlete experience at every show, built on professionalism, excellence, and a genuine understanding of what competitors need to perform at their best.
