L8R Lifestyle Success Stories

I was up for a new challenge and I knew that doing what was required to be stage ready for a figure competition was going to require a lot of physical and emotional growth. I also knew it was going to require intelligent guidance and coaching. I was determined to do this but do it RIGHT. The Laters were there every step of the way. From posing practice, to nutrition plans, emotional support, helping me stay on track with all my work travel, to rubbing oil on me before I stepped on stage. They are the real deal! I learned so much about myself through this process and if you are considering taking this journey as well, the Laters are the best out there. I interviewed multiple coaches before I made my choice and connected right away with Jenny and Jeff. I was grateful for the experience and grateful to pull from their experience and knowledge. 

Thank you Laters!

Just wanted to take a second and write about my experience being a L8R client. In short it’s been phenomenal. I have been an athlete my whole life. Grew up running track and went to national level meets, high school sports star and even got w scholarship to play college football. In my 20’s my focus shifted to work, life, bills, and raising a family. Not a bad thing but I kept eating like I was the skinny 15 year old who could never gain a pound. My metabolism slowed down and I became victim to the ‘dad-bod’. I was never embarrassed about myself or struggled with self image. In fact I thought I looked awesome and being big equated in my head to being strong. All was well. Things changed right before my 30th birthday. Always being in a competitive lifestyle I found I was missing that piece. I told my wife that I wanted to compete and do a show. At the time I didn’t care about placing or my future in the sport I just wanted to prove to myself I could do something very hard and control my diet. I went out and hired the first “big guy” I knew. Huge mistake! Although this was my start I’m lucky I survived the experience. I was put on a severely caloric restricted diet. I did it though! I “competed” if you can call it that but I looked terrible. Realizing that I had options I was fortunate enough to meet a girl at work who was working with the Later’s. I set up a consultation and spoke with them. I felt very comfortable and liked their philosophy. Due to some circumstances in my life I wasn’t able to hire them for another 8-9 months.  I did a 12 week prep and competed at what I’m going to say was my “first REAL show”. One that was done right. I looked good and felt good but didn’t place. So I didn’t stop. I had a shorter off season and stuck to all my cardio and meals plans. I wasn’t perfect but pretty damn close. I wanted to make improvements.

I consider the Later’s not only awesome coaches I will remain loyal to but good friends as well. There’s nothing I can’t chat with them about. I’ve had so many people ask me what I’ve done, I look insane, they’re jealous, how did I do it, will I coach them, etc. My answer had been and will always be talk to the Later’s. They make specific meals plans and exercises according to your goals. You don’t have to be a competitor to work with them. In fact I bet they have more “normal” people as client than competitors. People that just want to change their lifestyle of fitness and eating. I couldn’t say enough about my less than first year with them. It makes me insanely excited to see what the next year holds. It is one of the top 3 best things I spend my money on each month. The best investment you can make is in yourself! Just make sure it’s with the right coaches. The Later’s are the right coaches!
