Sissy Mua

Fitness Model, Brand Ambassador

Sissy Mua is a French fitness influencer, model, and brand ambassador. Her journey all started when she was six years old, once she became involved in ballet and jazz dance. Through dance practice, Sissy built a strong and athletic body from a young age – establishing a solid foundation for her fitness journey which she later embarked upon.

During her early 20s, Sissy moved to Brazil to study biology engineering. It was during this time Sissy became interested in fitness, after noticing ripped Brazilian physiques walking around her town. Using this as motivation, Sissy entered the gym for the first time, with a goal of sculpting a chiseled physique of her own.

After a few years of weightlifting, Sissy achieved her fitness goals, and much more. Inspired by her physical progress, Sissy decided to take the plunge and quit her engineering career in order to focus on fitness full-time. As she said;

“When I stopped my engineering career to be able to fully dedicate myself to my fitness career, it wasn’t easy, but over time it started to gain traction. I didn’t give up when I only had a few people following me, however, I won’t lie that I was definitely taking a risk. But it was a risk that paid off in the end.”

Ever since she took the risk, Sissy has become one of the biggest names in French fitness community, and beyond. This is her story:
