Bio:
Flavia has been active in fitness since a young age, with a childhood rich in motor experiences where she participated in ballet and other sports for more than ten years.

In 1994, she moved to Florianopolis, an Island in the south of Brazil, mainly to run away from the violence and the chaos of São Paulo, but also because she liked to surf and the harmony between beach and tranquility was perfect for her. It was in Florianopolis where Flavia was first turned on to training with weights.

Flavia Crisos, started weight training in 1994 to gain weight, but with time she got a taste for the sport of bodybuilding. After attending college for Physical Education and acquiring the technical knowledge, her training became more serious and complex. The transition between casual and competitive training was only a result of this process.

Bodybuilding was not easy for Flavia in the beginning since she always prepared herself without help. She never had a coach and as a result made several mistakes until finding the proper way. However, the competitive environment, the relationship with other athletes, as well as her personal experiences, facilitated her technical development and gave Flavia better knowledge of her true potential.

Flavia believes that the psychological side is the most important aspect of training. If you do not have devotion, motivation, persistence and discipline, the other factors such as nutrition and proper training simply do not function. The support of family and friends, which in her case has been strong, is also important. With hard work, everything is possible.

Flavia is very determined and a perfectionist who believes in what she does. The sport of bodybuilding is Flavia’s biggest passion because by surpassing her limits everyday Flavia becomes not only a better athlete, but also a better person.
