My name is Krisztina Sereny. I was born on 6th of August, in Budapest, Hungary as second child of a sporting family. Due to the fact that my father was a professional swimmer it is almost self evident that I was swimming in a children sport team since I was 3 and in a junior team later on. I attended the swimmers’ nursery school and a sport primary school afterwards. When I was 14 my attention was attracted by a sport completely new to me: fencing.

Until the age of 18 I was fencing as a representative player in the junior Hungarian international team. In the meantime I was successful ans I got my degree in the secondary school called Russian-Hungarian Bilingual school. I continued my studies on the academy for European assistant manager training called Schola Europa. Due to my knee injury I had to quit fencing for good. I met with my fitness trainer Gabe David in 1997, and this meeting changed my life completely. I earned 4th place on the Hungarian Championship in the first season. I was bronze medalist on the International Grand Prix held in Slovakia, also earned 2nd place on the Hungarian Natural Body Building competition and I won the Hungarian Fitness Cup in 1998.

Due to my results I was the only professional fitness competitor of Hungary since January 2001-2002 and one of the most sought after fitness star in Europe. In 2003 my dreams became reality. Two times in the FLEX in one year. Plus I’m the first fitness champion who got the cover of Playboy magazine worldwide. Also in 2003 I met with two great persons Fabien Debecq and Serge Nubret who changed my life completely. I started to compete in WABBA, where I won the Fitness European Championship in 2004.
