Fitness Competitor Nikki Bongiovanni

Nikki Bongiovanni is from Connecticut and is a former Olympic level gymnast who started gymnastics in high school and in college at Penn State and finally the National Team. Nikki participated in gymnastics as more than a hobby, it was taken very seriously and she has too many injures to list…you name it and she had it. One of her injuries included a broken neck which still didn't end her very competitive career as a gymnast.

Nikki is a now personal trainer and fitness director at Bally's Total Fitness where she works many hours along with her own training and finds resting is one of her biggest challenges. She enjoys working out because it keeps her healthy, strong, and disciplined. She eats five meals each day with a healthy balance of carbohydrates, protein, and tons of veggies to loose body fat and maintain muscle. She uses a multi-vitamin and whey protein to supplement her diet. She trains each body part once per week with weights and does one-hour of cardiovascular exercise six days each week.

She attended the 2005 Fitness Atlantic Pageant in Connecticut with co-workers and knew right away that she wanted to compete in fitness. She loves competition and performing and also loves living a fitness lifestyle. Nikki prepared for the 2005 Fitness New York Pageant with the help of Donna Poggio and placed third in her first contest and now she plans to go to nationals and see what happens from there. Her goal is to win Fitness America.

Nikki's goals to one day open her own gym and have a family. She is thankful to be supported by her parents Terry and Eileen, two brothers Ty and Trey and co-worker Roger Morello who competes as a natural bodybuilder. She loves shopping, watching movies, going to the beach and relaxing.
