– I used to compete in bikini fitness, but I didn’t reach the top places. In 2020, the coach said that we will change sports because you are like a fit model, he says.

– I am so in love with this sport.

The coach was right, because Muhonen won the Finnish championship in the same year and was fourth in the World Championships. Now the achievements include the European championship and the World Championship silver.

We started to improve the overall package after the first WC trip.

– In this sport, you can be athletic, but also train hard. The diet is strict, but you still get to be feminine. I want to look athletic, but also bring out femininity.

– This is the most feminine sport in fitness sports and is really tough in the world. Moni becomes a fit model from Bikini Fitness and competes in both sports.

However, there are differences between species.

– A fit model must not be as tight as a bikini fitness. It has to be a little softer and fuller, not so tight-looking, he says.

Muhonen plans to compete at least one more time in the World Championships in Spain in a month.

– I was lured there. Then let’s think about it, because I got married in the summer in the middle of the carnival. We still have a honeymoon to go. We plan to go there during the winter holidays.

Muhonen says that he has been saying for quite a few years that this is the last competition year, but his hunger has grown as he eats.

– That’s why I still don’t dare to say that I would quit, but the pace of the race has been tight. If I get a spark, I’ll continue, if I need a break, then we’ll take a break and see if there’s still a spark after that.

The Fit model competition opened the Nordic Fitness Expo weekend. The races continue in Lahti on Saturday and Sunday.
