Fitness and fashion go hand in hand. K&N calendar model Elena Romanova takes this to another level with her strict workout routine. She is a pro fitness competitor and a model. Elena lives and models in the United States, but she was born in Melitopol, Ukraine.

She also grew up there. Her childhood was filled with scholarly studies; she spent time reading and learning about psychology and philosophy. At age 16, she focused her attention on an ancient religious book. She attended high school in Russia, though she says, “I hated going to school.”

For a year, Elena attended college in Russia. She majored in English. Her time in college was filled with, “Lots of freedom, lots of parties till 6 am, lots of drinking." She describes this as "The most carefree year of my life.”

Elena started modeling in 2009. It’s an interesting story, because she did not pursue this profession. She shares, “I never wanted to model, but a photographer friend of mine insisted on taking photos of me and then created a ModelMayhem profile for me. That's how it all started.”

Since this brush of fate, Elena has booked a bunch of modeling gigs. She’s landed many magazine covers, and of course, modeled in the K&N calendar. She lists her favorite modeling memory as, “winning a fitness competition and becoming a WBFF Pro.” She is referring to World Beauty Fitness and Fashion Inc., a company concentrated on style and staying in shape.

Since this competition, Elena has continued her training and modeling. She is looking forward to competing again in the WBFF Worlds next year. When she's not on set or pulling a pose on stage, Elena has her nose in a book. She still loves to read. She also bartends. Though Elena never wanted to be a model, she has bloomed in this profession. Day by day, Elena stays slaying in fitness and fashion.
