If You Want To Have A Career As A Fitness Model Please Be In Shape All Year Round

I had a guy from Europe that is trying to make a name for himself in the fitness industry. He recently hired me to train him online and get him super ripped. Well anyway he asks me is it true that the top fitness models in the industry are at 12 percent during their offseason. I asked him who told you that. He said he watched a video blog of a top fitness model getting ready for a fitness modeling competition and the person said he was at 12 percent 11 weeks out from a fitness modeling competition.

To respect this person I won’t reveal his name but you may have an idea of who it is..:) I told him that is absolutely false and that individual that is at 12 percent isn’t a true fitness model. There is no way on God’s green earth that you are going to be able to attain much success in the fitness industry walking around with such a high body-fat for a fitness model. If you are trying to attain success you have to be in shape at all times.

I’ve written so many blogs on this that it isn’t funny and I hate to sound like a broken record but its frustrating when you hear stuff like this. If you are only shape one to two times a year you are more like a bodybuilder than a fitness model. The main reason why this gentleman hired me to train him is because I am in shape all year round and I pride myself on being lean at all times. He wants to develop the same philosophy and my methods of diet and training so he can maintain that as well in his early fitness career.

Most of the fitness jobs I’ve attained in the industry were last minute notice meaning 24 to 48 hours in advance. You don’t have the luxury of telling an editor or publisher give me 2 weeks and I’ll be ripped. There are too many good-looking fitness models that are ready to take your place at a moment’s notice if you aren’t ready. So for anybody that is really serious about having some career as a fitness model please be in shape at all times. I’ve seen so many marketable fitness models that have lost out on great fitness opportunities because they weren’t in shape when they got the call. I’ll be mentioning this at the conference and I am sure every speaker will to.
