First of all, I have to say – I don’t train my clients so they can be a size 0, but I train them to be fit and confident. Case in point – my client Erica Rose. She’s on this season of ABC’s “Bachelor Pad” and is one of my fittest clients and she is so confident that she was able to appear on last night’s episode wearing only a skimpy white bikini. I don’t know many people who would do that, do you? So, when I heard Blake call her “thick” last week during the premiere I shrugged it off (so did she) because he obviously has some insecurities and is just looking to stir up trouble. During the hanging challenge last week I was proud of how long she held on and she was one of the last girls to let go. She had to use a lot of upper body strength for that and the only reason she fell was because her partner couldn’t hold on. Erica and I both know how fit she is and so does everyone up at Fit Athletic Club (where we train) because they have seen us up there working hard every week. Erica can do 200lb+ on the leg press, sets of 30+ pushups at a time and planks for minutes on end – not to mention spinning, yoga and steep hill workouts on the treadmill. I would be willing to bet that she has more discipline (did you know she’s about to graduate from law school?), mental strength and physical strength than most of the other contestants on the show. Over the last year she’s worked her butt off and I’m proud to be her trainer!
