Joshua Tiessen

Seeing people in the gym who recognize a recent transformation that was made personally as well as my introduction into being a competitive mens physique athlete and taking home a 2nd place finish in two categories earning a national qualification. These people tell me they want to do what I did and quite honestly , this is a fuel for my passion to be better than yesterday. I love to see other make progress and encourage them regardless of their level of fitness and goals.

I love to train at different gyms in the city where I am from. Meeting new people in the gym motivates me to try new ways of training or things I never incorporated into fitness routine such as hot yoga. Currently I still follow direction under a coach in an off season prep. These workouts and regular cardio keep me sharp and within reach of competing for a pro card, which I hope to achieve within 2 years of starting to compete.

$20,000 would help me compete in the 2 shows I planned on competing in this year as well as being able to take the time off work to do so and pay for accommodation and a few extra tickets at each pf.the venues for friends and family to watch. Im almost 40 and I dont plan on competing past that age so this is it. Thank you so much for your consideration!
