First-TIme Figure Competitor Testimonial

I had always wanted to compete in a figure competition, and I felt I had the build and love for fitness to get there. However, I was always talk and no action. I had talked about it for a few years but never had the commitment to actually go through with it. That all changed this year. In January I made a choice to FINALLY go through with something in my life that I said I was going to do. I knew it wouldn’t be easy and that if I was going to do this I needed to give 110%. No excuses, no looking back. I began researching figure competitions, spending hours on-line, ect. There was so much conflicting information out there I was overwhelmed. All the talk about 2-3 hour a day cardio sessions, 800 calorie diets, ect. I was beginning to think “What the hell am I doing?! There’s no way I can work out 3 hours a day! Fish every day, all day!?!? What!?!?! Then I found HOPE!

I came across Lean Bodies Consulting on Facebook randomly one day and decided to check out the website. I fell in love!! Reading through Erik’s no bulls**t philosophies, straight forward advice, I knew he was the right choice for me! And all this talk about rarely any cardio and ice cream post workout? “Sign me up!” Is what I said to myself! I loved every article he wrote, blogs, ect. I knew I needed guidance for my first competition and Lean Bodies is exactly what I needed! I signed up early March which is when I started working with Erik. He set my program up and there was no turning back from there!

Now don’t get me wrong, contest prep is NOT easy people, I had my up and down days of hunger, days I wanted to quit, but I didn’t. I started noticing amazing changes in my body. The body fat that I had began to melt off. I’m a small framed person and didn’t know I had that much body fat to peel off but I was wrong! I started to get so lean, get extremely cut, and that’s what kept me going. The key to success is compliance, perseverance, and dedication, and that is what Erik teaches.  Erik and Lean Bodies Consulting totally changed my life. Going through this whole process taught me that I can do anything if I put my mind to it, and I don’t just mean fitness wise but anything in life you strive for can be achieved with hard work and dedication. I went from a person who didn’t believe I could follow through with anything to a person with such extreme confidence and drive knowing that NOTHING can stand in my way of any dream I have.

No matter how many clients Erik has, you feel like you are the only one. He treats everyone as individuals, no cookie-cutter programs here!  He is always there to answer questions, give advice, and have an incredible working relationship with his clients. I thank him and Lean Bodies Consulting for an amazing experience and would definitely recommend his services to anyone out there. Now that my competition is over, I plan on continuing to work with Erik and see what the future holds for me. Thank you Lean Bodies for a truly amazing life changing experience!!!
