Kevin Stewart of Stewart Fitness along with his wife Jenn, are two amazing people. My name is Reed and I am an employee at Cardinal Fitness where most of the time, you will see either Kevin or Jenn there, working out or working with their clients.
I myself have very much so been into fitness and athletics. I played tennis and wrestled all four years of high school, and even started working out at the YMCA with my mom when I was fourteen. But, when I went down to IU, I did not work out on a consistent basis for two years and weighed almost 165 lbs and for a short guy, that is not good. Well I lost about 25 lbs and started getting into the gym about 4-5 times a week when Kevin approached me about trying out a body building competition.
At first, didn’t sound like something I was interested in. But after talking it over with Kevin, I decided I wanted to give it a try. Plus knowing that Kevin himself won competitions and trained body builders, I was confident he could get me ready for one. Kevin took me under his wing and 10 weeks later, after a hard dieting, training, and posing routine- I went from a 155 lb semi-cut guy, to a 133 lb completely shredded, ripped, cut to the bone body builder.
I reached a body fat percentage in the area of 3-4 and was the best shape I have ever been in my life to date. I competed in two, not one, competitions and over the 4 weight classes I competed in (two in the Bantam weight divisions, and two in the Lightweight divisions) I was able to receive three1st place trophies and one 3rd.
I only have Kevin and Jenn of Stewart Fitness to thank, who took to heart training and coaching me through the grueling weeks of preparation for the completions. They know so much in the area of fitness, exercising, and most certainly dieting and can really tell that helping people is their passion. I recommend Stewart Fitness to anyone, no matter what your goals are, they can help you.
All my life I was always known as the “thick” girl, admiring athletic looking females. I first started having an inkling of a thought of this a few years ago when I purchased my first gym membership and really started hitting the weights pretty hard. I loved the results I saw, but was isolating each muscle group which never allowed me to get that “lean muscle” look I was striving for.
A few of the bodybuilder types at my gym suggested I start training for a competition. I laughed them off, but the thought stuck in the back of my mind. I got obsessed with Oxygen magazine. I would look at those girls and think…wow, I wish I could do that! I changed my eating habits and started eating clean, but still, I wasn’t getting the results I wanted. After completing 3 half-marathons with another planned for May, I had shifted gears somewhat for another, totally different fitness endeavor: competing in my first Fitness/Figure competition in June 2011.
I turned 30 in December and got engaged which fueled the fire in me even more so, to enter a figure competition…it seemed like the perfect opportunity. Now just to find that trainer to aide me in my journey. In February I met with Kevin at Cardinal Fitness and asked if he would take me on as a client. That day I weighed in at 149 lbs at 19.5% bodyfat, which was the norm since I can remember. At that point I had no idea what I was in for, what to expect, when I would shoot for competing, etc.
Kevin is so motivating and comforting…he totally put me at ease and told me I totally could do this, and that we would shoot for something in the June/July time frame. I entered two NPC Figure competitions back-to-back, shooting for the June NPC Indianapolis show and the NPC GNC Classic in Anderson. That really made this little dream of mine suddenly more real! Training/diet was very time-consuming but I had my fiancé and family as a wonderful support system. I was amazed at the results I was seeing week after week, and trusting in Kevin was crucial. I knew he had a method to his madness!
For this experience, it is all about stepping out of my comfort zone, having the self-discipline to push my body to new limits through strict diet and hyper-focused training, having the self-confidence to get out there in a barely-there bikini and strut my stuff, and to break down barriers that I have put around myself for way too long. I didn’t care if I came in dead last!! Bring it on! Well, I didn’t come in dead last.
I placed 3rd Open Novice Figure/4th Open Figure in my first show and 3rd Open Figure in my second show. The day of the show I weighed in at 127 lbs and 8.5% bodyfat…a feat I NEVER thought I’d reach. Going out on stage was icing on the cake- I’m so proud of myself for the discipline and drive I had to make it to this point. I am a product of what Kevin teaches me, and the best piece of advice I could give anyone is stick with Kevin through & through- I am a product of what Kevin has taught me. It is up to me to be a positive example of his teachings. I needed to not only reach my goals so that I can motivate others, but to make Kevin proud too.
Never in my life have I ever felt as good as I do now. With this transformation, I have the drive, confidence, and strength that I have been looking for over the past 30 years. This has driven me to want to train and inspire others like Kevin has done in my life. Thank you Kevin for giving me such a gift.
