I’ve been training with Ian for just over a year. After watching my friend Sam compete last year I got the bug and said I would aim to train for the NPA Yorkshire 2008.
Twelve weeks prior to the show I followed a strict eating and exercise plan, going from 10st 11lbs to 9st.
I couldn’t believe the change. Every training session I saw my body changing.
For the first time ever I felt really good about how I looked.
The last few weeks before the comp Ian really pushed our training. I started to practice posing and put together a routine.
Before I knew it the competition was here, I was nervous and excited at the same time.
It was a tough competition and I was really chuffed with 5th place. Would you believe it the following week I entered my 2nd competition, the NPA North East, where I placed 2nd. I was thrilled and am still smiling now.

I’m going on holiday in July and this is the first year I can confidently say that I can’t wait to wear my bikini!!
I’d like to say a big thank you to Ian and all the girls for all your help and support.

I have over 13 yrs experience within the Health & Fitness Industry.
I’m a qualified PE teacher, Personal Trainer, Fitness Instructor, Studio Instructor.[ REPS level 3]
I’m also the founder of ‘Fitness Cheerleading’ presenting all across the UK.

I’ve always looked at ‘Figure’ shots in magazine and thought that I had the potential to look like that. I have trained the gym all my adult life and I cant ever see me stopping. I exercise mainly for the way it makes me look, but also for health benefits too. I needed a challenge something that was going to take my training to the next level, my workouts had become mundane and I didn’t have a goal. I decided that I would enter a Trained Figure Competition. The same name kept popping up ‘Ian Duckett’, I met up with Ian and got advice on diet and exercise at a elite level, so that I could get into the shape of my life. I have never looked back, his workouts are tough, you’ll ache for days after, but you always look forward to the next session! If you can get into the right frame of mind you’ll be amazed at the results you get. Ian is outstanding trainer and friend and without his expert advice I cant imagine achieving, what I have so far in my first competitive season. Thank you So Much!

2007 proved to be a great year for me coming 3rd in both the Yorkshire championship at Holmfirth and the Mike Williams classic at Canvey Island. It was there I was invited to compete in the British finals. I was highly delighted to be stood on the same stage with the best body builders in the U.K. It was such an honour.

I have met some really nice people that go to compete and spectate in the N.P.A events and they have been so encouraging.
This year, I am hoping to compete in the Yorkshire’s and hopefully the last competition of the season in October. This has all become possible through the encouragement from Ian Duckett, friends and family. I am sure you might have met them, if not you have more than likely heard them!

Training with Ian is certainly a major factor in my life and have given me so much motivation by constantly pushing the boundaries within my training.

Hi my name is little Linzi and this is my little story.........I have been into fitness for the last 7 years, one day I hit a mental wall. I was fully trained out and tired of doing the same old thing.   I had no goal and could not face another fitness class.   Then one day I came across Ian's portfolio of trained figure girls and I said "I want to be like that".

“I had never heard of Natural Bodybuilding until I visited Nytram Fitness Equipment store in Barnsley in 2003. I saw Ian Ducketts book, Short and Sharp 2 and was thrilled to see that it was possible to achieve a fantastic physique without drugs. I visited Ian later that year for a chat and entered my first show in 2004. In 2006 I won the NPA British title and knew that I had now set my standards higher. To improve, I needed to move to the next level and that is when I sought posing tuition from Ian. I have seen him on a monthly basis ever since and I even join him and his friends for a weekly leg training bash. I hope that people will see an improved presentation this year thanks to Ian’s keen eye for detail.”

Prior to training with Ian, I was slim with little in the way of muscle build. I always found it hard to put weight on, but kept fit with running, with no real goals.

Sergeant major Ian at boot camp, the hardest trainer ever. Has given focus and determination and confidence in my ability to gain muscle and achieve a fib physique. So much so that I got to the level of competing this year. I will never look back now and with Ian's 100% support and input, I have high goals to achieve.

I can honestly say that I enjoy and look forward to my workout even though I ache like hell the next day. I feel good, energised, de-stressed and most of all its working.

I've never known anyone who has so much passion for any one thing as I feel and know Ian has for bodybuilding and helping people achieve their goals of looking and feeling better through working out.
