Are 'Fitness-Models' really FIT??...Let's put ourselves to the test

Max Wettstein's picture

Are fitness-models truly fit, or do we mostly just LOOK fit? Do we walk our talk or simply know how to look good in front of the camera or on stage?

I will argue that MOST fitness-models are in fact fit and healthy. Most A-list fitness models I've worked with are even athletic with above-average talent. This is because most of us are former HS or College athletes and some of us still compete as weekend warriors.

I'm not talking about the main-stream models & actors who market themselves as fitness talent only when there is an opportunity to make a buck, all the while looking down there nose at us on set, as though they're above fitness. I'm talking about those of us who are proud to be fitness-models and take it seriously.

Its worth noting here, that in fact anybody with a bodyfat of 8% or less falls into the fit-category according to the American Council on Exercise.

But to get to my main point, I had the honor of training in Clark's Lab the other day, and he's got a full arsenal of unique & fun equipment in there. I walked out of there with yet another level of respect for Clark...He is FIT! That guy is in shape! Don't believe me?...Go train with him.

But back to my point again: While training together, Clark & I had a few brainstorms spark up (yes it really happened), and we thought how interesting, fun, and good buzz it would be to put together some sort of a real fitness contest among all of us fitness-models - actual exercise events, such as but not limited to, push-ups, pull-ups, plyos, vertical-jump, etc.

Can you imagine the hype & buzz we could generate in our industry if we put the best of the best to the test?...pride & egos on the line? If nothing else it would make for some serious bragging rights for the winner. I don't know about you, but I'm tired of somebody being labeled, 'World's Fittest Model', or 'America's Fittest Model', etc, JUST because they look good on stage in a speedo. Does that really matter much?...

So all you fitness-model colleagues out there: Could you please chime in as to whether or not you would be interested in participating in or seeing such a contest amongst our industry's finest fitness talent, so that Clark & I know whether we should pursue this further?

Thanks for your time,
Max

Your body won't release fat

vcvxcv's picture

Your body won't release fat stores if you lower calories below what it needs. It will slow your metabolism to compensate and store every spare ounce as fat. If you continue lowering your calories, it will continue lowering that set point, til you can survive off nothing and store fat on anything.

There is no workout that just specifies in working out the lower abs area, and that is because when you work out your abs that whole area is getting worked out.

reduce belly fat

So yes, it's likely that

rogger's picture

So yes, it's likely that some of our fitness models are not fit, but what would we have to gain if we put them to testing? Most of them are trainers, or have public images that have the important role of encouraging ordinary people to get fit. If people would learn that their models are hypocrites, they wouldn't have any motivation to start fitness or to even try fitness. So I think, for the best all to just leave things as they are, after all we live in a world of appearances. I would buy anabolic steroids if I knew that would help me have a good training and stay fit, having a good looking trainer also helps in our self motivation.

Fitness Models

aman's picture

I don't think that all the fitness models are enough fit as they appear to us. It is obvious that fitness models and actors have to be in good shapes with muscles and ab packs. But the issue is that how they are achieving those things. Using of steroids can give good muscles, ab packs and great shapes, but that is not the actual fitness. Actual fitness can be achieved by maintaining proper diet and by regular exercise.

I think fitness models have

alicewonderland42's picture

I think fitness models have their muscles toned in certain ways so they appear more prominently but won't have the strength of properly developed muscles through hard work and proper use of steroids. Sadly the media will always use words like 'fittest male' to sell their products etc etc, just like it does in many other areas of society.

Sounds Very Interesting!

You should add 40 yard dash to that as well. Great idea Max!

Outstanding

I think this idea is great. I've always wondered if models are actually as strong as the look or is it that they just have an extremely low body fat. I think it would be a great idea to have non-models (but people that are physically strong and healthy) against the people that claim to be in the best possible shape. The other idea of models vs models is awesome too. Try this... Maybe have military men and woman go against these models. See if America's healthiest can compete with America's bravest.

Dude... make an "American

Dude... make an "American Gladiator" style game with nothing but fit people. People that live the lifestyle and can actually make this interesting!!

that's a fantastic idea and I would be all over it!!!

We could actually produce for TV

Clark Bartram's picture

I'm actually talking with some people in the UK at the moment about some TV projects, have some great relationships as well that I can leverage to produce an actual show for this if we do it right.
Guys and girls both competing in events that push the limits. Got some great ideas already...like for one, you have to be an actual "fitness model" published one. Many people on the net say "I'm a fitness model" but I've never seen or heard of them. Anyway...I have ideas, and I know Max does cause it is his brainchild!
We can either go all out and do this, or just do it in my garage and driveway. I have enough stuff around here to get some puke flying! Tires, plyo boxes, hills, and imagination.
