As a coach, I absolutely love taking a woman through her very first prep. We build health first, strengthen the body and the mind, set clear expectations, and make sure the journey is just as rewarding as stepping on the stage.

🏆 Champion Mindset, First-Time Success 🏆
Big congratulations to our incredible first-time bikini competitor who made her mark at Muscle Contest Night of Champions
🥉 3rd place in Open
🥇 1st place in True Novice
Her prep was nothing short of amazing! We took a slow and steady approach, cutting just under 8 lbs in 12 weeks with an impressive fat reduction of all but .6 lbs. The result? A beautifully conditioned, stage-ready physique that showcased her hard work and dedication! 💪
Special thank you the team who helped make this all happen!

Congratulations to my POSING client . We initially started posing in 2020 as she was prepping for a show but due to Covid she wasn’t able to step on stage as the shows were shut down.
Fast forward two years and under the awesome guidance of her Coach, she stepped on stage for the first time. I think anyone that saw Kate in the gym and saw her work ethic had a feeling she’duu be a top contender.
This weekend Kate earned the title of Excalibur 2023 Overall Figure Champion 🏆
Keep an eye on this one! She’ll be working to hit the National circuit next year to compete for the prestigious title of IFBBPRO!
Congratulations to her team!!!
