how do I find a figure competition coach???
I live in Virginia Beach, VA and I could really use a coach at this point. I am 7 weeks out from my first show and I need diet help (from someone who can see me in person) and I need posing coaching.
I have searched the web for hours today! I've also checked the yellow page listing ...and nothing!
My gym doesn't have anyone who has any expertise with this either.
Can anyone help??
Thanks!!
Dawn

If you can't fly to a posing class, I suggest doing a search on bodyspace for other girls (figure competitors) in your area. Send them a pm and get together!

You may want to think about doing the online thing if you can't find someone near you. It is difficult to find someone. I found my coach through BodySpace. I searched the member listings for members in NC (my state) and found her that way. Some areas you might just not have any luck, so you may want to travel. Driving once a month an hour or two away should be enough to get you show ready. But with the advanced webcams and digital cameras, you should be ok taking pics and recording posing practice. Let me know if you want the site of my coach, I know she works with people online. Good luck!!!

Figure Competition Coach
You can try "bodybyken" (do search on myspace). He has a Bootcamp class in Norfolk and does personal training with those who wish to compete. There are a couple of girls in the Bootcamp class who do both figures and bodybuilding competition.

I also recommend Alyssa Carpio as she is close to you. I also recommend her over the previous referrals listed.
I'm in the Orlando, Florida area, and also do coaching and seminars prior to competitions when I travel to shows too. So to the Southeast competitors or if you are ever in the area....

I live in Va Beach and I am now starting to train for a figure competition too. I use a trainer at the Chesapeake Gold's Gym. Depending on where you live it's not that far. Karen is a trainer there who has a lot of experience with competition. She is older, but still looks amazing!! I don't train with her ,but she is advising my trainer and me on poses and such. You can look her up.
