[Fit Body]

awesome!! you are one busy lady with your comp prep and all of your amazing clients!!

how are you enjoying being out of Steve Nash?? Where are you training your clients out of now?

yep thatz an understatement lol

gettin outta Steve Nash Fitness World was one of the best moves of my life
ever since the merger between Fitness World & Steve Nash
it's been a downward spiral
i was one of the last remaining long time employees from the old company
the same day i quit so did Poco SN Fitness World Manager Kevin of 19 yrs with the company

now i'm at Platinum Athletic Club on King George Blvd, Surrey
its awesome there
great facility, no stress, my rates went back down
and SNFW forcing me to up my rates and hugely cutting my pay at the same time
i'm making way more money, charging my clients less
everyones happy
:):):):):):):)

[vancouverchick]

I have heard very bad things about that company since the merger!!! not good!!! many have gotten out!!!! so glad you did too!!! you are so much better then that place!!!!

[vancouverchick]

So great dawn!!!!! (always love seeing your clients on stage - always look amazing!!!)

see you in 3 weeks!!!

[Shortie]

So how does this work tier wise? Do you have to qualify at a novice show first before BC's?

[vancouverchick]

yes, kelowna (or ft st john --- top 3... to provincials... top 5 from there to nationals... since nats is in BC!!!

Colleen --- you would DOMINATE WP!!!!!:waving:

And kelowna top 3 will also get the qualification for 2013 naturals!!!

nope Lori we are gonna have it open at the BC's is the way i understand it
meaning cuz its the initial year you don't haveta qualify for BC's you can go straight there
just like Masters or Juniors

and not sure if it's top 5 go to nationals
cuz it's not decided if it's at Fig, Fit, Bikini Nats or BB Nats
i'm guessing will be fig, fit, bikini nats
cuz bb nats is already super long
so not definite if top 5 going to nationals or not yet
i will post as more info becomes available

[vancouverchick]

oh really?? that's neat!! straight to bc's -- no qualifying...

why have kelowna and ft st john then??? warm ups?

thanks for keeping us posted... I was under the impression it was being offered in tiers just like the other divisions....

thanks for keeping us posted... I was under the impression it was being offered in tiers just like the other divisions....

why have NOVICE SHOW: KELOWNA, FSJ OR SWC for master, gr masters, or juniors to then????
cuz maybe people don't wanna do the BC's
maybe the timing is better for some
maybe some would like to do a show before they compete with the best in the province
for experience
for money
theres a myriad of reasons why

the 1st yr they had bikini it was offered straight to nationals no qualifying
it will be offered like others in tiers after this 1st yr

[vancouverchick]

thanks dawn.:)

[Fit Body]

here's the official word:

Correct, they can go straight to the BCs to qualify for Nats, 2012 only, then the tier system will apply in subsequent years

Nationals Physique - where it will go has not been determined, ie which Event it will be added to, I will keep you posted. Therefore I cannot say whether top 3 or top 5 go to Nats as it will depend where it is added.

[Fit Body]

anything anyone wants to know about BCABBA / CBBF let me know
i will find out the official word
that way there's no guessing

[vancouverchick]

I wasn't guessing... it was what was emailed to me from top cbbf and bcabba exec when I asked them... I just misunderstood when they told me about kelowna and ft st john, didn't realize you could also go right into BC's just for 2012.

But thanks Dawn.:respect:

I am wondering where they will add both of these categories, since Fitness, Figure and Bikini nationals is already a HUGE and long show, and from my understanding it is also the case with BB nationals... gonna be hard to find space for both of these new classes, without taking away from the already existing classes. Will be interested in seeing where they fit it in.

i think fig, fit, bikini nationals personally
but who knows
the bb nats prejudging went to 5pm this year and started at 9am

[vancouverchick]

wow --- that is a long day!!! especially since bb are so dry and depleted!!! long day to wait around!

Figure nats went 9 till 230... not quite as long....

Adding the men's physique to figure nats makes sense (keeping it with the bikini category, since they are similiar just opposite sex).

yep esp when the night show started at 6pm
bb at national level is not like it is here in BC
bb is HUGE
we have some great Bodybuilders outta our province
but we don't have the numbers other provinces have
esp back east

[vancouverchick]

Interesting... I wonder why?? we do have some amazing bb from bc, but you are right, the shows can sometimes be very low turn out... I wonder why?

You always seem to bring some amazing bb to the stage.. which is wonderful that they have someone like you guiding them... but I wonder why the lower numbers here?

[Shortie]

Colleen --- you would DOMINATE WP!!!!!:waving:



aww thank you Lori. This ticks me off that it comes after I promised hubby no more shows.......apparently I'm bitchy when I diet down :D I'll have to work on him a bit ;)

[vancouverchick]

YOU?? bitchy!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! It must be him that has the problem!! hee hee

Do what I always did, promise that this is the last show... and I promise I will be fun-loving amazing Lori... then WHAM, half way into prep when I want to kill him I claim it is his problem, not the competing!!!

Would love to see you DOMINATE this new class!!!! You are what I see on the top of the podium for this!!! (or so I hope!!!!!)

[Fit Body]

we don't have the population they do back east
just look at when we have Elections same thing
whatever the east decides is the gov't we in BC just gotta suffer with

UPCOMING POSSIBLE FITNESS CONDITIONING COURSE JAN 2012
with IFBB PRO FITNESS SANDRA WICKHAM

is considering doing her FITNESS routine conditioning course again January 2012

It's an 8 week progressive course to work on
and learn the skills needed for a fitness routine!
It would be once a week for the 8 weeks,
you will do a warm up, then work in a circuit, doing all drills/exercises designed to work on your flexibility and strength for the fitness moves.
We then work on moves together and a few times I've done a mini-routine that we work on together as a group, which is a ton of fun.
It's for seasoned fitness girls (my national level girls come) and also for anyone just thinking about maybe doing fitness,
they can get a chance to try the moves, see how they like it etc.

So if any girls interested in that, see contact info below!

For routine choreography I charge $500
and that includes the choreography, the inital teaching it session (usually 1.5-2hrs)
and two check-in appointments along the way, since we always need to tweak/change/work on the routine as we go along.

contact: Sandra Wickham through her website: http://www.sandrawickhamfitness.com/

FITNESS at BC'S 2012
we're going to open it to anyone who has made it to the BC level before,
regardless of whether their qualification has run out, or if they didn't make it back.
That should get some competitors out of the woodwork and create more excitement with more girls at the BCs.

Dean Brandt slams most if not all Trainers who are BODYBUILDERS & FIGURE ATHLETES….

“BodyByBrandt Contest Prep: we specialize in the most popular categories: Bikini + Physique! If your training with a bodybuilder,or Figure athlete odds are your following the wrong style of training + diet. We also offer Vegan or vegitarian meal plans, all plans are custom made for each person based on their body type, goals and lifestyle. **You do not have to take any banned supplements to compete in bikini or mens physique*** if your trainer is pushing this on you , then find another trainer!!! I have experience training natural athletes for shows and non-natural, and this is a completely different process. Look for experience and proven results!”

Some of my replies:
Dawn Alison seriously are you fucking kiddin me dean really???
Dawn Alison how to lose friends and alienate people !!!!!!!
Dawn Alison ummmnn i'm a bodybulder and my team kicked butt in kelowna a drug tested show... how the hell can you say such slaunderous nonsense reallly to stoop to this level to get clients really shows what type of person you are
