Kaelyn Feistel Testimonial

I joined Next Level Bikini Prep in May 2015, close to the end of my senior year of high school. I researched other coaches and teams with a goal to find someone who had a healthier approach and truly tailored each program. Not just some “cookie cutter/horror story” approach, but a plan where I would…

Sarah Rennick Testimonial

My main goal when I came to Joe was to qualify for Canadian Nationals. Not only did I qualify for nationals but I went to nationals and got 4th! This brought me to IFBB North Americans where I placed second, and now I am going to be one of only 6 girls in my country…

Ashley Rapaglia Testimonial

Working with Joe has been nothing short of a miracle for me. I’ve been competing for three years and training and eating well for as long as I can remember. My results somehow always fell short in achieving the physique I really wanted.  It wasn’t until Joe carefully evaluated what my body really needed in…

Client Spotlight: Kori Black

I was fairly diligent (and very ignorant) in my training and diet when I first attended a small NPC competition.It looked like fun and a good motivator, but I had no clue how to start preparing for such a thing. My husband offered a personal trainer and we ran across Next Level Bikini Prep on…

Client Transformation Rebecca Lwin

I was 46 years old in 2016 when I decided it would be a good idea to see if I could whip my semi-fit mom-bod into contest-ready bikini shape.  After a lot of internet research during which I found lots of cookie-cutter programs and just as many extreme and bizarre diets, I finally found Joe…
