Olesya Novik Figure Competitor, Fitness Model
http://www.olesyanovik.com
I always loved being active and working out, but never thought of competing until after our move to Austin, TX. When I started to train at Austin gyms, I was constantly asked whether I compete!
The single comment that truly pushed me to finally consider stepping on stage, came from one of my idols in the fitness/figure world, Adela Garcia. We were by the cash register at a supplement store, paying for our purchases; she looked at me, and asked me when my next show is...
My life hasn’t been the same since...
Competing in figure is an absolute blast, and something I intend on doing for a very, very long time. Unfortunately, it isn’t lucrative in any way and isn’t a career by any means—more of just a VERY expensive hobby. And a definitely a way of life.
Currently, I live in beautiful Southern California and work as a personal trainer, helping people transform their lives and bodies. I adore seeing my clients’ excitement as their bodies change; knowing that I had something to do with bringing such happiness to them is why I love my job—and the fitness industry.
In addition to training, I’m a writer for T-Nation.com and MuscleWithAttitude.com, and am exclusively sponsored by Biotest. I’m proud to represent them as I personally use all of their products with incredible results. Finally—products that don’t just say they’re on the cutting-edge, but act like it!
And that, my friends, is the highly summarized story of my life. I’ve gone through more experiences than I can possibly put on this page, each of them teaching me something new about life, and who I am as a person. If there’s anything you would like to know about me, please feel free to contact me and ask; I’d love to talk to you!
