Los Angeles Fitness Competitor Believes In Personal Care
A stereotypical symbol for the health-conscious, personal fitness-driven culture in Los Angeles, Timea Majorova, a native of Slovakia and a professional fitness competitor, has made the California city her home. She has bodily dimensions to be envious of: 5'8", 135 pounds, and measurements of 36-24-36.
Timea was born in the town of Zeliezovce in 1974. She became actively involved in sport and fitness very early in life. Her two brothers and father were major influences in pushing her towards athletics, turning her into a 'tomboy,' according to Timea. A scholarly individual, Timea speaks fluent English, Hungarian, Russian, and Slovak. She attended medical school in Slovakia, where she earned a degree in physical therapy.
Her initial fitness competition was the Ms. Slovakia Fitness Championships in 1994. She placed 2nd in the contest. In February 1997 Timea received her U.S. Visa, and then moved to Los Angeles to continue her fitness career, representing Slovakia in the European championships. A personal breakthrough arrived in 1997 when she won a contest: the Amateur World Championships. The win catapulted her into a position as an IFBB Fitness Pro. Unfortunately, in her first Fitness Olympia in 1998, she came in sixth place.
While competing in the 1999 Fitness Olympia, Timea made the acquaintance of Joe and Betsy Weider, who both became important motivational figures in her life. Later in the year, she placed 5th in the 1999 Arnold Classic.
In 2000, Timea married Joseph Majorova in Slovakia. He is now her personal trainer and together they own and operate Pro Gym in the Los Angeles area.
To date, Timea has taken part in more than twenty competitions. She is currently living in Santa Monica, California, where she is also pursuing a career in acting.
A "Timea Majorova: Living the American Dream" DVD was released in 2007. The disc includes interviews with Timea regarding her lifestyle, experiences in fitness competitions and answers questions about her husband and family. Also featured is a complete body cardio routine with her husband Joseph, a short kitchen segment and a 'behind the scenes' Alex Alandti photoshoot. The disc was created by the Chapmen Media Group, makers of the well-liked Fit Show Internet television production.
