READ IT ALL!! REAL COACHES WILL AGREE. BUYERS BE AWARE AND YOU SO CALLED COACHES BE HONEST!! I see that anyone and everyone is a fitness/bodybuilding coach now days. Anyone who competes in their first show, wins a 1st place, or turns Pro...automatically becomes an expert and becomes a coach...even taking in consideration that their results was under the guidance of a REAL coach. LOL Is sad, but you will see tons of unqualified so called coaches, who will take the clients and make promises that they can not deliver. But who is to blame for making the right or wrong choice? The client who lacks the knowledge of not knowing enough about the sport and for not knowing how to make the right questions? Or the so called coach who lacks the knowledge, experience, respect and mainly the honesty to tell the client that they dont know enough? In my opinion, the responsibility lies more on the so called coach, because is not right and damn straight wrong and dangerous to use someone as their ginny pig so they can make their names. I have to say it out loud... These so called coaches should be ashamed for taking advantage of someone in something so complex that requires years and years of ones experience and knowledge, and for playing with someones health. On that note, buyers be aware, and coaches be honest!! Do your home work about what you the fitness prep, do a research about the coach reputation or even if he or she has one, shop around and mainly ASK QUESTIONS!! Here are some questions to consider so you can make the right choice. 1- Do you compete yourself and how long have you been coaching Bodybuilding/Bikini/Figure/Physique Shows? * You will find out that a lot of trainers who competes under a real coach, think that they can do the same for you, or that the training, routine and diet is the same as they give to their weight loss clients. 2- Do you have any before and after pics of your previous competitors? * That is a fundamental prove to see if the work that this coach is offering can show any results. 3- Can you diagnose me and tell what my body type is and tell me what will be the best diet, routine I should be in? * This is crucial!! Every person has a different body type, (Ecto/Meso/Endo) and each body type requires an specific diet and macros ratios, that will complement the routines along with their particular goal and they all most work together...Yeah, is that complex!! And if they cant tell you the difference, this is not a good start...run for your life!! 4- What class you suggest I compete in and why? * A good coach will help you to find out what your body type can do the best and deliver the best on the stage, (Build muscle mass, get lean and so forth) and also they should take in consideration your personality...I seeing coaches telling extremely muscular girls to do bikini when clearly they belong on figure or bodybuilding and vice versa. 5- Can you tell me if I need to do a Peak-week-diet and can you explain it for me? * Some coaches dont even believe in carbohydrate manipulation, never the less the peak-week-diet witch can make you win or lose a show. 6- Can you provide me everything that Ill need to be ready for the stage? Diets, training, posing, peak-week-diet, stage color/stage prep? * Not every coach can do it all, and some will tell you to pose or get your diet with someone else...Now in the end you might have 3 people trying to coach you when they might not even agree with each other and you will be lost in this triangle of hate. 7- Will be easy for me and will I look like that forever? * Trust me, it will not be easy, it will be extremely challenging and hard to be on this journey, but not impossible but extremely rewarding. You can NOT look like you will look on the show day forever, but you will learn how to maintain a close comfortable off season look. ANYONE who tells you otherwise are not being honest with you!! 8- Is this your full time job? * You might not get enough time nor attention from someone who is busy working their other job when you need them the most, and lets face it...Would you hire a part time plastic surgeon to take care of your body? Well?? I know a lot of amazing coaches that we have 100% mutual respect for the fact that we understand how complex all this is. Im sure they would agree 100% that NO ONE should play with anyones health and promise something that they can not deliver it. This is about your body, it is your goal, it is your journey, and it will require tons of dedication, sacrifice from you and from your loved ones to get you to your goal. So please make sure you will find the coach that will be honest and forward with you so later you will not blame the bad experience you had on the sport. Im not trying to be negative, Im just trying to make you aware so you are not taken advantage of. I hope this will help you to have a better understanding on what to look for when you are shopping. Cheers
