Need Suggestions on how to find a trainer in my area with competition experience

JENENNIS · 07-01-2009, 02:23 PM

I live in a small town in North Idaho and would like to find a trainer in the area that may have some experience or exposure to figure competitions. I would love to be able to train for competitions, but there seems to be SO much too it that I would like to work with someone that is familiar with the processes!

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to look or how to find someone?

I was also wondering if there are any women out there with stretch marks from pregnancy that compete, and how it affects judging?!
Even if I can't compete because of my stretch marks, I still want to achieve the physique of a figure competitor--it's been a huge dream of mine and goal I want to accomplish whether I compete or not!! =)

Thanks in advance!

You can check with your local gyms and even look online. Also, if you find a show in your area that you want to compete it, you can email the promotor and they may know of someone in your area.

btw...PLENTY of women compete with stretch marks!! Honestly, MOST women have them...do not let that make you hesitant from getting on stage!!!

GOOD LUCK

Thank you so much for your encouragement and congrats on your success! That is amazing!

I have checked with my local gyms, or the two small ones we do have (lol), and there aren't any here. So I guess I should just start checking with the gyms in the neighboring larger cities. I have looked online, but haven't had any luck yet. Do you have any suggestions of certain sites to search on?

Thanks again for your suggestions.
