“When I began with Chris, we started with an open-ended prep. I finally had a coach to help me properly reverse diet to get me prepared to compete again, the right way. We began nutrition and dieting 7 months prior to the shows chosen. The prep was fun and educational. Chris goes above and beyond in his coaching. He takes the time to explain things, he is always responsive, everything is individualized and NOT “cookie cutter” 

“I started watching Christopher Barakat through instagram and I was highly impressed with his level of professionalism and knowledge. I thought that he would be the perfect one to guide me through my transformation. When I contacted Chris Barakat I was coming back from a very aggressive cut and i lost control over myself , i was gaining lots of body fat and i decided to take the process more slowly and steady . We finally started and i was enjoying every single moment.” 

“His knowledge about nutrition and training is SUPERB. Working with Chris has been a great experience. Chris really took his time to check in on me to make sure my prep was going as smooth as possible. He helped me not physically, but mentally as well to help push me. We just finished my two warm up shows and we definitely saw great things. Chris makes adjustments according to how I feel and how my physical state is. No cookie cutting stuff here. Chris also took his time to teach and explain, why he chooses certain methods for me. We have another show coming up and I cannot wait to see what time, consistency, and hard work will bring.
