After her stint on “90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?” ended and Jorge Nava was sent to prison, Anfisa Arkhipchenko needed to find something new to occupy her time. In a December 2018 Instagram post, she revealed that she had settled on hitting the gym, and she viewed her pursuit of fitness as more than just a hobby. “ONE DAY I want to take it on a higher level and compete in NPC bikini division,” she wrote.
By June 2019, Arkhipchenko had achieved her goal. At the NPC West Coast Classic, she finished second in two novice categories. A month later, she won first place in every category she competed in at the NPC Patriots Challenge and clapped back at body-shaming critics of her new look. “They say ‘Muscles make you look manly’ … I personally have never felt more feminine and happy than I do now,” she wrote on Instagram. “It’s all about how you feel on the inside.” In 2023, her hard work paid off again when she finished second at her first national bodybuilding competition, the NPC North American Championships. This impressed her fellow “90 Day Fiancé” alum Cynthia Decker. “Love that you were strong enough to choose something other than clout chasing. You are inspiring,” Decker wrote in the comments section of Arkhipchenko’s Instagram post about the competition.
