"We know it's next to impossible to find accurate information on how to prepare for Figure Competition. It can be very confusing. I remember when I started in Fitness and Figure. It seems the rules changed at every show. Everyone says something different when it comes to Figure. Isn't it true?"
"I can tell you for a FACT..The Figure Competition Training Guide DVD is not going to let you down. In fact, it's going to light a fire in you so hot and powerful that hopefully this heat will bring you all the way to the stage. This is a great Figure DVD. As far as I am concerned it's the most accurate representation of what people have to know in order to actually compete and win in a Figure contest."
"I am excited and proud to be a Figure Coach and I gladly narrated this movie so that Figure competitors would finally know what is required from them in order to achieve their personal best, on stage, in a Figure Contest. I have been promoting my contest The Debbie Kruck Classic for 12 years and have seen some great PRO careers begin with winning my show. Nothing is more inspiring than seeing people actually doing what we all DREAM of doing. There is magic in competitions. That is why I love to compete and promote. I met my best friend in the world promoting my own show when she competed and won the Fitness Class. Mandy (Blank) went on to become World Champion. It's a fact that the best thing you can take away from a show is a friend."
"I have been competing in Fitness and Figure since both sports began and promoting almost as long. I have been extremely fortunate and have had the opportunity to be an international model and have traveled all over the world spreading the good news about what diet and exercise can do to change your life in a positive way. My "job" is helping people and I love it."
"This DVD shows real Figure people doing what YOU need to do to win. You will learn to pose with confidence and poise. You will know how to buy the right suits. You will know how much cardio to do and how often to train with weights. You will know what exercises to do and how many sets. You will know how to diet. In fact, if you simply follow the advice we suggest, you will achieve success. Change nothing. Just eat and train just the way we show you and the fat will melt off you."
"We made this movie so you could avoid making mistakes and become the winner that you are."
"I know that every person who helped make this movie did it because they love Figure and wanted to help people learn how to "really do it". The Figure Coaches, themselves, Wendy, Julie, Jennifer. Amy and Dan, as individuals, are amazing people. As you will see. They were all sincerely interested in making a movie that was not a fluff piece of nonsense but an actual documentary on what Figure training is all about. We not only teach you..we show you. We live the life, walk the walk and talk the talk. The movie makes it very easy to understand how you can do it too.
"This is not a promotional piece where I walk around and tell you how great I am and you watch me pretend to work out. This is not a "fan" movie about me. In fact the movie is NOT ABOUT me at all. It's about Figure. Competing in Figure. Eating for Figure. Training, posing, buying suits that fit and so on. It's about the athlete's who are out there training right now and competing. People like you."
"The first Figure Competition Guide DVD disc is Figure basics, then 35 minutes of detailed posing lessons and then diet. The second disc is training and grooming and competing. Throughout the film there are scenes from live shows, including my 2005 Debbie Kruck Classic Contest, to help illustrate the points from the lessons. It's very cool and inspiring. In the training section, we show you about 50 of our favorite exercises and split routines. We show you how to train with exercise bands to peak your muscles. We cover beginner to advanced training and when and how to do cardio. We share ideas and thoughts on all aspects of Figure from make-up to shoes to being scared to compete."
"Dan Burke directed and produced this movie and if anyone understands what it takes to be in shape it's Dan. I have known him for 15 years. He was training people full time years before the term "personal trainer" was first invented. He is a great posing instructor. He is so old school on training, he built the school. When Figure started, he became it's number one fan. He goes to all the Figure Shows, he films them, photographs them, and studies them. He knows so much about Figure, it even amazes me. He has names for hundreds of weird poses people do. He can show you how different people pose, walk, hold thier hands, stand, everything. He can pose like Jenny Lynn, Monica, anyone. He can actually "mimic" their posing styles perfectly. He can look at suit and tell you who the seamstress was that made it. You name it, if it has to do with Figure, Dan cares about it and has most likely already thought about it.
Dan writes bodybuilding articles and books, he sculpts and draws, he is a personal trainer who trains only Figure competitors, and he wrote,"The Figure Competition Prep Guide". Dan is constantly interviewing people about their training and eating. He has been competing for 20 years and running shows behind the scenes for 15 years. Even though he coaches others, he never lost his personal passion to compete. And neither have I. He is an artist and I love his approach to Figure and life. He made every day we worked on the film, fun for all of us. But be careful...he gets crazy without his carbs."
"Dan planned to make the Figure Competition Training Guide for over a year and then took 7 months to film it. During that time he met Wendy Kleyla, and Dan watched Wendy complete her transformation from a 195 pound big girl to the 110 pound model and National Competitor she is today in less than 2 years. If this movie is about anyone, it's about Wendy, and how you too can take control and change your life. Wendy is all the inspiration you will ever need. If you ever thought "I can't do it! Think again!" |
