Hi, my name is Viktorya Carstensen and I am a National Bikini Competitor. I started competing backĀ in 2009 and won my first show,Ā Class F, Masters and Overall winner.Ā 5 weeks later I found out I was pregnant. After taking aĀ coupleĀ years off but still training at the gym I decided to get back into competitions. My first show back, wasĀ this April, 2013 at the Grand Prix in Culver City where I took 5th in my class and won the Masters Tall class.
My second show was the West Coast Classic in LA and there I took 2nd in my class and won the Overall Masters. I then decided since I was qualified; to take stage at the Masters Nationals in Pittsburgh this past July. There I took 2nd in my class and was over whelmed with how well I did in my first National show. I am training now for the Nationals in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida this Nov.
I am 40yrs old, married with two children. (15 and 3). I am 5’8 1/2Ā , weight on stage 132-133,off season 136-139. I train at Golds Gym in Las Vegas, NV. I am a Pet Stylist (groomer) with hopes of being a business owner. My first passion is animals but fitness has always been a huge part of my life.Ā I was a dancer/ballerina from 3yrs to 26yrs old. I was a bikini model and even crowned Miss Hawaiian Tropic Laughlin, 7mths after my first son was born. I believe my passion with being fit has helped with showing my children the importance of eating healthy and exercising. Ā I believe in determination and setting goals. It has been a great year for me with the NPC and I look forward to many more as a PRO.
Thank you,
Viktorya Carstensen
