BETTINA NAGY

I've never been a passive person. Before starting my fitness career I was seriously involved in hip-hop dancing for more than 4 years. I really enjoyed moving my body, and my enthusiasm for the dancing is still going strong.

Since I love to train and I enjoy living a healthy lifestyle, in September 2010 I decided to focus completely on fitness training. With the help of my former coach, I started to train professionally and this resulted in my first win at my very first competition. I was extremely happy about that result! Since then I have managed to win several competitions, competing in the fitness model category. This means a lot to me.

The biggest joy for me was when I won at Fitparade in 2010. The main prize was the opportunity to take part at the Arnold Classic tournament in 2011 where I had the chance to meet and take photos with the best fitness models in the world. I even managed to shake hands with Arnold Schwarzenegger!

Since then my motivation has been unstoppable, and it's further enhanced by my coach, Esther Berkes. Fortunately I am able to train several times a week. I also do cardio every day – I run. I prefer to run outdoors, usually with my mum on Margaret Island. Besides my training workouts I also go swimming every week a fitness/wellness center. I enjoy sauna and jacuzzi a lot, too.

My family is very proud of my results. Whenever possible my parents and sisters come and support me and cheer for me at competitions; they're my loudest fans. I am very grateful for their support. It gives me strength as well as enthusiasm to continue taking on new challenges.
