What is Adonis Coaching and Who is it for?

January 8, 2016 by

As we prepare for another exciting Adonis Transformation Contest year in 2016, I wanted to take a moment to explain how Adonis Coaching differs from Adonis Immersion.

 

Meet your AGR Coaching Staff!

Immersion

Adonis Immersion is comparable to a “do it yourself” home project. You know it will take you a bit longer than a contractor but it will save money and you will learn the basics along the way.  The other benefit is that you have access to Adonis training programming much longer than a 12 week period along with access to all the uncensored podcasts.

Immersion is our flagship product for increasing your results.

Coaching

Adonis coaching is comparable to hiring a contractor for your home project. You want an expert so it gets done right the first time or maybe you have a special case.  Other reasons may be that you have no background knowledge in fitness or your time is valuable so you want to cut to the chase. A coach will get your background and prescribe a nutrition and training regimen based on your needs.

How Do You Cross A Minefield? Walk Carefully Behind Your Coach!

All the coaches do things a little differently based on their personalities. You can request any one of the coaches and if we have space we will accommodate your request.   We all touch base with clients weekly and take client biweekly progress reports. Based on that, a coach will modify programming for the client.  Clients can email their coach at any time with questions or concerns.

You do not have to have a coach to enter our transformation contest.  Nor do you have the obligation to enter a transformation contest when working with a coach.  That is completely up to your discretion as our coaches are available year-round.

However, most clients have had the greatest success when entering a contest period as it led to increased motivation and extended accountability.

 

Final Thoughts

If you think Immersion might be right for you, there is more information here – Immersion

If you think coaching might be for you, there is more info here – AGR Coaching

Either way you go, you are investing in your health and priorities which is a win.

Stay tuned for the official announcement of AT-19 to begin next monday.

AT18 12-Week Transformation Winners Announced

December 14, 2015 by

Another Transformation contest has concluded, closing out calendar year 2015.

Unfortunately, we did not have enough contestants finish contest AT-18 to assign Top 10 Rankings for our traditional contest evaluation.

In an effort to encourage more contestants to finish the contest we are going to be revamping our judging criteria, to allow for more prizes in different categories without penalizing someone who may have further to go in their transformation.

In this new judging format, you will be competing against yourself and the incentive will be to “Finish What You Start.”

Nevertheless, we would like to honor those  who kept their commitment to finishing the contest.

Here are the winners:

Congratulations to everyone who entered and completed their transformation goals!

This next contest is the perfect opportunity for those people who didn’t make it through the previous contest to take another swing at it and follow through to the end.

There is always another contest and always another opportunity to make a real change.

Stay tuned for the announcement of AT-19 set to begin in January 11th, 2016!!

If you are wondering about what program(s) they used then check out the Adonis Golden Ratio Systems that all of them followed. You can also look forward to their interviews coming up later this month. Again congratulations to everyone, outstanding job.

Hold The Rope! Final Countdown to AT-18

November 16, 2015 by
Final Countdown to AT17: “Hold the rope! -- let it burn but don't let go!"

Final Countdown to AT18: “Hold the rope! — let it burn but don’t let go!”

 

In the last remaining days of AT18 it’s imperative that you maintain your pursuit towards that “Golden” transformation.   Many will be making their final preparations this weekend or have already done so.

Contest Photo Submissions for AT18 will be due no later than Monday November 23rd at midnight Eastern Standard Time.

For many contestants, this is the first workout program that you’ve followed consistently.  Thank you for your commitment to the Adonis Golden Ratio Program and more importantly for your commitment to your own personal goals.

Here is a brief recap of some of our transformation winners from earlier this year.

 HOLD THE ROPE!

Every year we have transformation contests in which the Top 10 transformation contestants are recognized for their achievement in staying committed to their fitness goals.

All these contestants have one thing in common. No matter how tough it became throughout their transformation, they did one thing — they held the rope!  What is “holding the rope?” Imagine that you are hanging from the edge of a cliff with a drop of twenty thousand feet. The only thing between you and a fall to your death is a rope, with the person of your choice on the other end. That person on the other end is the AGR system which includes our awesome community members.  When the going gets tough, you can rest assured that we have the guts to pull you to safety.  Whether it be a clarification with nutrition or a mental stumbling block which is overcome by encouragement, motivation, and/or AGR coaching.   Rest assured, all you have to do is “Hold The Rope!”

You see, the person that holds the rope when the going gets tough is a winner. When you’ve had a long day at work and choose to go to the gym afterwards that is a “winning” decision.  If you are frustrated and have lost the willpower to track your calories come and visit with some of the members in the AGR community.

In a matter of speaking, they will tell you they have been where you are, just “hold the rope — let it burn but don’t let go!”

Win or lose, remember that your transformation is a personal achievement and you should be very proud of your accomplishment.

In a previous post, I discussed the Four Key Ingredient necessary in order to become “Photo-Shoot Ready” on command.

Those ingredients are:

1. Conditioning

2. Posing

3. Tanning

4. Photography/Lighting

Keeping these concepts in mind will help you capture some amazing images of your new & improved physique.

In conclusion, to all my brothers in Iron, I hope you’re enjoying living the Adonis Lifestyle and to those contestants in AT18, come November 23rd, I look forward to congratulating you on your transformation!

AT17 12-Week Transformation Winners Announced

September 11, 2015 by

As many already know, we did not have enough contestants finish contest AT17 to assign Top 10 Rankings for a proper contest evaluation.

The summer is usually the toughest time of year to follow through with a transformation and it can derail even the best of us.

Many people try and fail multiple times until they finally get it right, and it appears that the summer of 2015 beat us as a group. But that doesn’t mean we can try again.

However, we would like to honor those  who kept their commitment to finishing the contest.

Here are the winners:

Louis Martinez [biglou111]

Jacques Grobler [jacquesgrobler]

Congratulations to everyone who entered and completed their transformation goals!

This next contest is a perfect opportunity for those people who didn’t make it through the previous contest to take another swing at it and follow through to the end.

There is always another contest and always another opportunity to make a real change.

For anyone who is ready to make a change, lets make AT18 a great one.

If you are wondering about what program(s) they used then check out the Adonis Golden Ratio Systems that all of them followed. You can also look forward to their interviews coming up later this month. Again congratulations to everyone, outstanding job.

The 18th Adonis Transformation Contest starts TODAY!

August 31, 2015 by
The 18th Adonis Transformation contest (AT-18) starts today!

The 18th Adonis Transformation contest (AT-18) starts today!

What do all of these former Adonis contestants have in common?

When most of us started the Adonis program we were looking for one thing, “RESULTS!” More importantly, results that mattered.  Not how much weight you could bench or how many pounds of “so-called mass” you could gain.  Who knew that amazing results could be delivered in a simple formula known as the Adonis Golden Ratio.

Checkout the winners of our previous contests.

No matter how many times you have told yourself I will make a positive change towards my fitness goals…this time CAN BE DIFFERENT!

Don’t sell yourself short.  You too are capable. No matter what you look like in the mirror now, tell yourself you want to be included in that Top 10 list of “Who’s Next?”

Here’s what John Barban said in a recent email:

The tipping point… the time when you look in the mirror and can say “I can do this”.

Or the moment where you fall victim to an excuse, avoid taking action on what you really want… settling back to old habits… and struggling  for the rest of the year.

Right now, another Transformation contest has begun. And many of your Adonis brothers are committed to making a real transformation in their fat loss goals.

Whether you are doing a contest or not… there is one EDGE you can gain to ensure you possess the muscular, ripped body you’ve dreamed of.

That edge is: getting coached by one of my hand-picked expert coaches. Many of the coaches have been through inspiring transformations themselves. They understand what it TRULY takes to transform your mind and body.

Now hiring a personal Adonis Coach is not cheap by any means.

It will most likely be the most intense 12 weeks of your life. You will be held accountable for your actions and your goals. Now you may be thinking you won’t have time for that.

Nonsense.

Did you know that the majority of your Adonis brothers who wisely get coaching are usually the ones who work INSANE hours… or have a hectic home life with wife & kids?

With coaching you get the strategic shortcuts, and incredible motivation… and they are personally dialed right into your hectic life.

The men who get coaching, some are flat out beginners… brand new to Adonis… others are more advanced… and they finally want to reveal the body they desire.

The main thing is… they stopped sitting around… and fully committed to an exclusive one-on-one experience to get their bodies looking better than they ever dreamed possible.

If you want to look in the mirror tomorrow morning… and smile because you KNOW 2015 is the year your body comes out looking amazing then go here now:

>>>Transform Your Body With An Adonis Coach <<<

Best,

JB
