Yes, I train women too... 😉
It’s a tall order when a new client, who has absolutely no gym experience whatsoever, tells you that they want to compete in physique competitions.
My former client Emma walked in with that exact request and my first job as her coach was to help manage her expectations and build realistic time frames to achieve what she wanted.
I explained to Emma that we could do this, but that at the very least we would need 6 to 12 months to build muscle to her frame, to teach her to train with correct form and intensity and that it would require unwavering commitment from her when she eventually decided to prep for her chosen competition.
We trained together 3x a week for the best part of 9 months, and as a coach, I soon found that I was working with a ‘robot client’ who was willing to do whatever it took to realise her goal.
Her gym intensity was nothing short of epic. 💪🏼
After 9 months, I agreed that she was ready to do her first competition with UKBFF Beginners Bikini.
Emma had stayed in healthy body-fat ranges but for the following 12 weeks, we would be taking her to a body-fat which was much lower than she’d ever been in her life.
Mentally I knew that after 9 committed months of training and eating she could do it and that now it would just be a case of being consistent with her dieting for 12 weeks.
She did everything I asked and looked phenomenal for her 1st show.
I am proud of the results she achieved with her body but more so of the person she became along the way, congratulations to you my friend. 👊🏼
The cool thing, for me, is that I know sure I can now deliver this level of result online, just as I used to 1-1 in person.
If you’re ready to take on your own transformation just drop me a DM to discuss coaching.
