Short Career of Alyssa Michelle Agostini
Alyssa Michelle Agostini was a sporty and energetic youngster in her youth; the spring of 2012 was her first “touch” with fitness.
She initially began working out in the gym as a novelty. She became “hooked” on fitness, though, when she realized how drastically a good diet and weight training could affect the way she looked.
Alyssa began participating in fitness competitions as a result of her physical change.
She came back in amazing shape a year later, winning the same show and earning her WBFF Pro Status after placing second in her inaugural tournament.
Alyssa has since become a successful online coach and nutritionist, and she has continued to grow.
“If you want to truly enjoy your life, you have to be at peace with yourself.”

Biography
Fitness to Cheerleading
Growing up, Alyssa Michelle Agostini was an active child who participated in a variety of sports. She had basketball, track, and cheering experience by the time she was nine.
She kept up her enthusiasm for sports into her later years, continuing to compete in track and basketball in high school until switching to professional cheerleading in college.
Even though she enjoyed participating in them, Alyssa never thought of any of these sports as her passions.
However, everything changed in 2012 when she learned about weightlifting and the fitness lifestyle.
Alyssa claims that this was a completely new world for her and that she was fascinated by the idea of being able to transform her entire body simply by changing her food. She claims that as a result, “I got hooked!”
Pro Card for WBFF
Alyssa entered fitness competitions because of her passion for fitness and “challenge-seeking” attitude.
She took the stage for the first time in the first few weeks of summer 2012. Alyssa competed in the WBFF Eastern Championships, which were held in Boston, where she came in second place out of 35 competitors.
She was inspired to keep competing after this outcome.
She made her second appearance on stage a year later. There were 50 competitors this time, which is a huge increase from the 35 from the previous year.
To everyone’s surprise—including her own—she won first place that day and received a Pro WBFF Card despite the higher statistics.
She thinks that what gave her the advantage over the other contenders was her posing performance and somewhat better conditioning.
Pushing Past Obstacles
In Alyssa’s fitness career, there have been numerous memorable occasions, she claims. She does, however, list receiving the Pro Card as one of her top life experiences.
Alyssa adds, “Now fitness is my life — I eat, sleep, and breathe it!” She looks forward to taking on more challenges in the future.
Training
HIIT and Plyometric Exercises
HIIT is Alyssa’s preferred form of cardio. Her consultations typically take 15 to 20 minutes. They either include sprints or plyometric activities.
“I prefer to work out in a way that gets my heart rate up and makes me sweat.” (Alyssa Michelle Agostini)
