I have been a client with Coach Joe for about seven months now.I reached out to him because doing a Fitness Competition had always been a goal of mine. After already lifting for ten years on my own, obtaining a B.S. in Exercise Science, and being a certified personal trainer I had learned a lot about fitness. However I never really knew how/what it took to achieve a competition physique. He evaluated my current fitness level and physique and quickly developed a plan to get me ready to compete in my first NPC Bikini show just a few months away.Never did I think I’d be taking on this kind of challenge during a time when gyms were closed but Coach Joe and Cherish made it possible. He used the equipment I had and made it work with a few additional items.I appreciate working with Coach Joe because he educates you throughout the process and uses science to develop a program that is healthy for you and tailored to your specific needs and goals. Each week required a lot of time and energy but I was very disciplined in my training and diet and started to see results.There is so much physical and mental work that goes into being a competitor. Working with a good coach that gives me an exact diet and training program helps me focus on following the plan without having to worry about making my own adjustments.When show day came I felt as prepared as I could be and it helped me stay calm and organized throughout the day. He was available for questions on show day and if any little hiccup arose that wasn’t according to schedule, he made fast and smart adjustments to keep my physique in the best shape that day.Cherish taught me the basics of posing, stage presence, and a strong routine for the big show day. I practiced daily to train my body so I would naturally go into those poses. She was available through Skype and choreographed me (a beginner) a whole routine without having to be in the same room.I would 100% recommend Coach Joe to anyone interested in competing especially if it’s your first time. It’s been such a positive experience for me that I’m currently working towards my next show now.My personality is to do absolutely everything I can by giving 100%, so I recommend if this is something you want to take on then follow the plan 100% because you will see amazing results!
