What does “Pageant Prep” mean?

• STS is the coach you want to have when preparing for a pageant. We take a holistic approach from getting your body in prime shape, to posing to evening gown selection.
• Physique will be a similar took to Model and Bikini, with perhaps slightly less muscle. Particularly with teens, judges are looking for “healthy” looks .

Unique Needs:
Our primary focus with our Pageant clients is that they feel proud and confident when they go on stage. We coach on stage presentation and all facets of the competition.

Diet/Fitness Planning:

• Diet − For Pageant Prep, we will most likely prescribe a moderate diet based on age, height, muscle mass and fat weight. We find a diet lower in fat and higher in high-fiber carbs with moderate to high protein works best. Calories will depend on the individual. During the last 7 days, we will prescribe a diet that takes into consideration the travel and other prep activities leading up to the event. Many Pageants will want the contestants to stay in a hotel up to 3 days prior to the event for pageant activities and we provide workouts and diets that will accommodate that.
• Workout − We find a regimen of lifting 2 to 4 times per week with an emphasis on midsection and legs provides the best results, coupled with a cardio regimen 4 to 6 times per week. We may incorporate High Intensity Interval Training (H.I.I.T.) depending on the individual, but generally we will recommend a sustained treadmill or stairmill approach. This will provide a “tight” look that will present well during the Pageant.

Timeframe:
Generally prep time for a Pageant is 8 to 16 weeks depending on the starting point of the client. STS is the official trainer for Miss Arizona USA as well as Miss Teen Arizona USA and we work closely with the stateholders from the time they are crowned until the Miss USA or Miss Teen USA pageants.

Client Type:
We will work with all clients that want to compete in a Pageant but our primary focus is Miss Arizona USA and Miss Teen Arizona USA. As the preferred trainer for those events, we will work with clients online as well as in person including meal plans, exercise plans and phone calls as needed.
