Last weekend our Blessed Little Sister Liza competed in a synchronized swimming event and achieved a personal best! Her coach was thrilled to see Liza beat her previous score by three points. Our founder and head coach, Fatima Leite Kusch was surprised to see what goes on behind the scenes in the life of a competitive national synchronized swimmer. Fatima noticed some similarities between her own Team Blessed Bodies fitness competitors' show day prep, and Liza's swim meet prep.

Did you know that synchronized swimmers plaster their hair with Vaseline to keep their style in place during all of their movement in the water? Did you know that Team Blessed Fitness competitors put Vaseline on their teeth to make smiling effortless on stage? In both of these sports, presentation is equally as important as performance. Fatima saw that Liza has the same types of fabrics and bling on her suits and even wears "stage" makeup like fitness competitors do. It's safe to say that Liza puts in 100% effort and commitment into her sport. She looked beautiful last week! We couldn't have found a more suitable little sister to support with our scholarship funding.

Congratulations Liza! You make us all proud.

5 REASONS WHY FITNESSPRINT WORKS:

1.) Coach Fatima Leite Kusch CARES! She is a pro athlete and Oxygen Magazine fitness model - she knows her stuff whether you have a lifestyle goal, athletic goal, or fitness competition goal.

2.) If you are a bikini athlete, you will not be given a 1995 Male bodybuilder's generic, depletion-based meal plan. No copy and pasting here. Your plan is YOURS and tailored to your individual goal (not to someone of the opposite sex with 80lbs more muscle mass than you.)

3.) Meal plans and training plans are modified regularly, as you approach your goal. Everyone's body responds differently to training and nutrition, so why purchase a cookie cutter plan? Say NO to cookie cutter health plans.

4.) FitnessPrint plans come with a side of FREE GROUPIES. Welcome to our network of likeminded, positive-thinking, REAL people... who happen to be achieving UNREAL goals. Our clients are supportive of each other, and interact daily. They share recipes, hold each other accountable, meet up for socials, team vacations, and team photo shoots to show off their hard work. Words can't describe the warm and fuzzy bond among our clients. It's unheard of.

5.) We've created a sensational concept surrounding 365 days of health. We are proud to know our program will set you up for success year-round. We refuse to set our clients up on a plan that is impossible to stick to all year. We will help you ditch the frozen dinners, yo-yo dieting and fitness fads. We will SHOW YOU THE LIGHT-- the light being 365 days of looking and feeling your best. How does that sound?

Because of the individualized nature of our program, membership is limited. Apply HERE to join us and experience a total lifestyle makeover.
