Kryss DeSandre is a 22-year-old up and coming fitness star. The bikini competitor has been training seriously since 2015 after her physique was noticed by a trainer who insisted she begin competing. As Kryss recalls, “I was excited, but I didn’t know where to begin. [the trainer] ended up training me, and the rest is history!”

The Utah native was always a competitor and athlete, growing up playing sports like track and basketball, as well as cheering throughout her life. It was not until she started working that she got back into the gym to regain her fitness peak, which she has certainly accomplished.
