She’s a fitness instructor who’s made quite the name for herself, especially after landing a spot on the cover of Muscle Fitness’ Hers Magazine. Yeah, she really came a long way—now boasting over 80,000 followers on her Instagram account, monamuresan, where she shares her journey and inspires others daily. Before all the spotlight, though, life looked a bit different. Back in junior high, the other kids on her track team would tease her, saying she had skinny legs. Can you believe that? Now look at her—strong, confident, and thriving. Oh, and fun fact: her family moved from Romania to New York City when she was just 18, which definitely shaped the path she’d later take. She’s proof that perseverance and passion can turn early doubts into major achievements. And honestly, her story just keeps getting more inspiring the more you learn about her.
