KRISTIN MARUSHKA Accomplished Fitness Competitor & Trainer When did you first get involved as a model? I began modeling when I began competing in bikini fitness competitions about six years ago. My first photo shoot was intended only to capture my progress and from there everything else evolved as related to modeling. Who or What inspired you to pursue such a competitive career? Overall, sports and fitness have been my inspiration. I have always been an athlete and involved in sports. My first love was basketball and I played since I was in third grade. I went through sports in high school and played basketball, volleyball and ran track. I am also a group fitness instructor and have been since I was 22. In 2014 I attended my first fitness competition as a spectator and decided I wanted to try myself. Competing in fitness competitions was a great next step in my fitness journey. After I competed in my first show, I was hooked. Here I am now, six years later, still enjoying the journey. I have met so many amazing people along the way and have had opportunities open up all from following my passion.
