Amy's Testimonial

 

I had the privilege of working with Dr. Kevin Ashby for 10 weeks leading up to my first figure competition – the NPAA Canada Championships & Magnum Instincts Pro Show!

 

Kevin developed a structured meal plan for me, which evolved throughout the preparation process, to adapt to the changes in my physique and condition. The emphasis on eating a high volume of nutritious, clean and balanced foods was easy to understand and to buy into - and I believe that the overall delivery of this plan encouraged a healthy attitude towards eating throughout the preparation process.

 

Kevin's training programs were dynamic and challenging – but satisfying as well - as I was able to work my way up to completing workouts, and increasing my weights and training volume. From my training with Kevin, I saw improvements in my strength and endurance throughout the prep process, and was able to maintain my muscle mass into the competition.

 

Kevin’s reputation in this sport is well-earned; and his passion, integrity and strong foundation in fitness and nutrition went a long way towards making my competition preparation a positive and healthy experience.

 

Thank you, Kevin!

 

Sincerely,

 

Amy Phinney

Clean Eating for Students! Nichelle's Transformation!

 

   

Over the past three months, Wendy Carvalho-Ashby has coached me throughout a transition I cannot explain in words.

I have dedicated my time towards reaching healthier lifestyle habits and working towards a physique of a fitness competitor. After years of competitive soccer, I had grown into an athletic body that was built for speed and had hit a point of plateau. I wanted to change my physique to become more balanced, and with the guidance of Wendy, I have begun the process of achieving this.

This process has been very eye opening and has given me a better understanding of why nutrition is so important. I now have a better relationship with food, which has become more of a fuel for my body rather than the center of social gatherings. Wendy has helped me to eliminate foods that I am sensitive to and gear me towards a healthier, long-term approach. I have learned to take each day at a time and to remember that with patience, I will reach my goals if I continue to work hard and stay motivated. I always remind myself why I train the way I do and if I slip one day that it’s not the end of the world but to get back on track and continue to see progress.

I wake up in the mornings feeling energized and eager to hit the gym for another great training session. Wendy, Thank you for all your motivation and support. I look forward to continuing this life changing process!
