I joined Fitbody&Physique after completing my third season of competition and realizing I was now a true competitor and serious about bodybuilding. I sought out to find a knowledgeable, educated and experienced coach. Peter was recommended to me by a close friend who is a professor of Exercise Science & Physiology. After reviewing his credentials, both academic and personal, I knew he could take me to where I thrived to go.

Coming out of a very active competition season we began to build, pushing food and keeping my routine consistent. I stayed true to my macronutrients and did whatever he suggested. However, I must say towards the end of our building season I was a bit out of my comfort zone, maxing out my weight to the heaviest (outside of pregnancy) that it’s ever been. Then the real magic happened!

We began cutting my diet and calculating weight loss while maintaining my weightlifting routine.  Being older and having slight physical issues with my left leg due to a foot drop, we gave ourselves enough time in reaching a goal weight. Without excess cardio, along with staying true to my diet, I exceeded my weight loss goal, leaning out to my leanest stage weight EVER.

Being on board with Peter for a full season I can tell you that there were times when I silently questioned myself: I’m gaining too much, I’m not losing enough…… However, I never questioned Peter. When you do your research and hire a professional based on trust and accountability there is no need to question them. Peter’s words to keep “chipping away at it”, no matter where I was in the process, was the encouragement and motivation I needed to succeed. He truly has a winning team.
