FitnessPrint founder and coach, Fatima Leite Kusch, wins NPAA Coach Award!

We are TOO proud to see Fatima recognized for being a stand-out coach in the fitness scene. We weren’t surprised to hear that oodles of nominations were sent in to the Natural Physique & Athletics Association.

On May 5th at the NPAA B.C. Classic, Fatima was called on stage and presented the award by NPAA Elite Pro Fitness Model and FP support team member, Mindy Ambrose. This was an emotionally moving moment, as Mindy gave a speech about Fatima’s unique level of attention and support, and explained just how much Fatima cares about her clients. To top off the experience, all of our NPAA Team Blessed Bodies competitors and FP clients supporting from the audience, joined Fatima on stage for team photos.

What an incredible event — reinforcing the sisterhood that is Team Blessed Bodies, and why FP is not your average online program.

Team Blessed Bodies made their mark at NPAA’s first B.C. event!

This past weekend, six FitnessPrint clients took their fitness goals to a higher level and stepped on stage as competitive athletes. We had a blast cheering them on and bonding as a team, in such an inspirational atmosphere. Stay tuned for more news, placings and competitor photos this week!

Congratulations Coach Fatima Leite Kusch for being nominated for the Natural Physique & Athletics Association Coach Award.

We are thrilled to announce that Fatima has been nominated for this award. We believe she embodies a true coach — one who helps clients transform on all levels, not just in their physical appearance. While she uses her expertise to train competitors for star-quality stage appearances, Fatima also promotes healthy living 365 days of the year. She is building a team of athletes who offer more than a once-per-year stage physique. Team Blessed Bodies is all about year-round health, training, support and growth. The team works hard to bring a fitness model package all seasons of the year, and Fatima is the driving force that brings it all together.

Thank you Fatima, for all of the long hours, late nights, cheering at shows until losing your voice, last minute rehearsals, exciting opportunities; and thank you for being you.

The coach award winner will be announced May 5th at the NPAA B.C. Championship in Richmond, B.C. Stay tuned for stage pictures and updates on our clients competing at NPAA!

Angel Wings & Afros for Breast Health

We would like to thank all of the wonderful supporters who helped our Team Blessed Bodies girls in their efforts to raise funds for breast cancer research and treatment. Last weekend our girls spent the day at Bust A Move Vancouver, in a marathon of fitness classes like Zhumba, Tabata, and Tommy Europe’s very own boot camp. This initiative was beyond successful. Not only did Coach Fatima, Bust A Move team leader Jennifer, and clients/support team members Ami, Brandi, Marilyse, Heather and Mindy help bring awareness to breast health, they also met their goal to raise $7,000 and had a blast in the process too!

Way to go Team!

Hmmm, so you’d think a fitness coaching program like FP would be blogging a lot more about FOOD. You’re absolutely correct! Where can one source all of our favourite recipes, you ask? Did you know that FitnessPrint has a sister blog that’s dedicated solely to our love affair with FOOD?

That’s right! You can visit our HAVE YOUR CAKE and BE FIT TOO blog for the tastiest collection of clean eating recipes out there. We’re serious when we say our meal plans are customized and flexible. You wouldn’t believe some of the rich and decadent creations our clients whip up with clean foods. Visit our food blog today, for some clean eating inspiration!

This is your chance to get to know the heart and soul behind the FitnessPrint program. As a successful professional fitness model and coach, Fatima has a story to share about how this all came to be, and what this all means to her. Although she is a mentor to many athletes and aspiring athletes across the globe, she is a real person who understands what it’s like to make major lifestyle shifts. Just like her success, her healthy habits didn’t show up over night. Be assured that everyone starts somewhere, even celebrity Oxygen Magazine fitness models like Fatima Leite Kusch.

Find out more about Fatima - the visionary behind FitnessPrint program and the Team Blessed Bodies sisterhood - HERE. We’re ecstatic about this interview with Miriam Khalladi on her Real Talk Real Women video series.

Miriam says,

“Join me and Fatima as we talk about her fitness journey, quitting her comfortable job, coaching & helping others, Blessed Little Sisters and much, much more….”

Congratulations Fatima on your feature video!

Client Testimonial From FitnessPrint Diva - HEATHER, of North Vancouver Canada.

Heather started on her FitnessPrint plan in December, 2012. She is a ray of sunshine at our team events. She is a cheerleader for fellow team mates competing in their shows, and she is now training to compete in her own show. You’ll find her on a stage in the near future, in the Figure class. We’re proud to be coaching her and excited by her already dramatic results. She works hard on her lifestyle transformation and it shows!

Heather says, “FitnessPrint is more than just an online nutrition and training program it is an online fitness community. I never feel alone in my journey to a healthy lifestyle. I have met some amazing people through this program who have already provided me some amazing support. FitnessPrint has given me a renewed sense of self and a wonderful increase in my self confidence. I have a rejuvenated positive outlook on my life and it has helped me on the road to achieving my goals! I have only just begun!!”

This is what it’s all about for us! We love the team of clients we’re building! It’s positive people like Heather making the difference in what we offer. Coach Fatima Leite Kusch selects clients from our application process based on this type of positive mindset and healthy attitude. It’s amazing what we can accomplish when we’re surrounded by amazing people.

Client Testimonial From FitnessPrint Superstar, Brandi.

Brandi is from Vancouver, Canada and has been using our services and heavily participating in team activities since September, 2012. She is also a member of Team Blessed Bodies and is just 5 weeks away from her first appearance on stage!

Brandi says:

“Because of this program, I love the changes in my body; I’m leaner, more muscular, I have glowing skin… I have more energy than I have ever had.

I have gained a new sense of independence, focus and purpose. This is me, where I’m supposed to be.

People see the changes in me and ask questions. It feels great to be inspiring others to lead a healthy life.”

Wow! Just…wow! Thanks Brandi. You ARE an inspiration to others, and we’re happy to have you.

Team Blessed Bodies sure made an impression at the Inside Fitness Cover Model Search on Saturday in Vancouver, B.C. — we wish you could have been there! FitnessPrint clients Tanya, CJ, Diana and Darci entered Bikini and Fitness Model classes, including evening gown rounds. We must say that these ladies lit the stage on FIRE. They were stunning. Coach Fatima Leite Kusch and her assistant Theresa Jenn Lopetrone were in attendance along with an entourage of smiling faces from Team Blessed Bodies cheering on their team mates. (One of the perks of competing with Team Blessed Bodies is having your very own collection of warm-hearted groupies!)

Congratulations to Darci (shown above in the red dress and red bikini,) for winning 3rd place in the bikini class!

Competition season has just started, and we’ve got team events planned all year. Follow us for more updates!
