FaceBook friend - Maree Stubbington -
Id like to introduce you to Maree Stubbington............. Most of you would know Maree as the face behind the callouts at the NABBA/WFF events here in New Zealand.. She is a qualified judge and used to be a competitor herself which included her travelling to the states and winning one event over there. But another thing Maree specialises in is assisting females with their plastic surgery choices and operations.. Maree accompanies woman, normally a couple at a time at anytime of year, to Thailand for surgery and oversees the whole procedure for them from start till finish. Her service includes travelling with the woman to Thailand, organising the accomodation, staying with the client before and after surgery, cooking nutritious and nourishing meals and assisting in all aspects of recovery at the hotel, PLUS her speciality, hitting the shopping hot spots in Thailand. The surgery procedures are varied but her clients procedures include all forms of breast surgery, eye surgery, abdominal surgery including tummy tucks and lipo and thigh lifts.. So if you are thinking of having any procedure done overseas rather than at home here in NZ, then contact Maree at

Teish Paton
My latest facebook friend is Teish Paton.. Teish works at "Pumping Iron Gym" and "Supplements Direct" in Whangarei as a personal trainer. Teish is married to Paul Paton who has 30 years of experience in powerlifting, bodybuilding and the art of selling supplements. However I was lucky enough to be the person they chose to help Teish through with her contest training for an event in May 2012. We met on Saturday afternoon and spent a good two hours chatting, training and doing a small amount of posing.. Lucky for me Teish is already fully into nutrition so I dont have to worry about what she is eating when she is behind closed doors.. So our goal is to add more muscle on her frame and develope her posing ability to first class. All simple really. Im looking forward to seeing how Teish developes over time and I welcome the inviteto help her with her goals. We worked well together the other day going through some of the "BubbleButt" programme and doing some chin and up dip tests. She worked hard for such a muggy day. You will be hearing more about Teish next year as I add clients progress reports…

Karen Montague - alias Monty
This facebook friend, and long time personal friend of mine is Karen Montague, known to most of us as Monty. Monty has been a client of mine for many years, but after so many competitions and wins, she knows what to do with herself to get herself ready for events, Im on call for suggestions or criticism.. Both of which she takes very well. She flits from one federation to another selecting the events she wishes to participate and has even represented New Zealand in the Arnold Amateur where Monty placed very well. Monty first competed at the NZFBB auckland Champs in May 2005 and I remember her well from that event. Everyone was thinking where has this girl sprung from. To date Monty has 18 1st places, 5 x 2nd places, 1 x 3rd place, 1 x 4th, and 2 x 5th places - One of which was at the Arnold. Very impressive results Monty! Tall, lean and with excellent structure, Monty has one of my favourite physiques. She stands tall, holds herself well, looking almost statuesque and has a professionalisn that takes competitors years to learn. At the moment I personally think Monty is stuck between a rock and a…

Neville Marshall - otherwise known as NVision Hairdressing
This week I am featuring my friend and client Neville Marshall. Neville is a freelance hairdresser out West and after owning his own salon for many years, he is now working as a freelance hairdresser from Chill on Te Atatu Pensinsula. I first met Neville about 2002 when he did my hair for a photo shoot which I did for Brass Magazine. It was 9 years later that I began to train him - putting him through abit a pain to lose his - well excess layer of fat.... Neville already had a good training background after working with a trainer for a long period of time, but specialising more in stretching and other methods of training. He had decided at the stage when he came to me that he wanted a leaner more muscular body so we have been working on achieving that. The good thing about working with Neville is he is very consistant. We work together almost each morning, and he works damn hard in the gym and out of the gym, often running and training at home with his family. He keeps his nutrition healthy and eats to gain muscle and keep his bodyfat down. So far Neville has made…

Lisa Taubenheim
This is my good friend Lisa Taubenheim. I first was introduced to Lisa by internet when she wrote to me about bodybuilding and we corresponded quite abit. When I went to the Arnold the second time she came to meet us and although we didnt have alot of time it was really nice to meet her.. Lisa spoils me.. she sends me the most amazing pressies and she really is very generous and I must get my a into g and do the same. Lisa is an amazing competitor with huge determination and motivation to improve with every event. She is in training once again now and I wish her all the best. Im hoping to get to see her again this year sometime and in the meantime we write often but our skype appts have never come to fruition cos of the time difference and us both being so busy. Maybe in our winter aye Lisa. In the meantime you can contact Lisa on Facebook and have a look at her pics, give her some encouragement and praise and maybe you will make a new friend in the process.
