Love Yourself

It’s easier said than done, Love Yourself! After being involved in the competition world since 2004, I have seen it more and more. It almost seems no matter how great a client looks and changes, they still are not completely happy with their results. We are all our own worst critics and I too have been hard on myself, but I can honestly say that each time I stepped on stage for an NPC show or an IFBB or WBFF Pro show that I was happy with how I looked. I guess I never lacked confidence in myself. As a coach, I wish I could give some of that confidence to the ones who need it.

I do my best to give my clients the tools they need to drop body fat, gain muscle and just become overall healthier and more fit. That’s my job as a fitness professional! I also want to see them do their absolute best if they do decide to get on stage. It never fails 6 weeks out from the NPC competition, majority of my competitors experience the 6 week meltdown. We begin posing classes 6 weeks out from the competition and that is also when they go for their suit fittings. They put on that tiny suit and think to themselves……”I will NEVER be ready”! When this happens I do my best to explain to them the biggest changes to their physiques will happen over the last 6 weeks as long as they do their homework.

I currently have 6 amazing women prepping for the upcoming March NPC competition in Mesa and I have the utmost confidence in them. I now want them to have the confidence in themselves. I am a firm believer in you can do anything you put your mind too! It all starts with loving yourself and looking not at your end result, but the journey. Instead of wanting a trophy, be proud of how far you have come on your fitness journey and know that this process helps you to feel more confident in yourself. Love Yourself……it’s that simple:)

If you have been wanting to FINALLY make your goal of getting on the competition stage a reality, contact me for a FREE consultation. I know what it takes to motivate my clients to get past that 6 week meltdown and onstage with confidence!
