In This Podcast

The Work Smart, Stress Less episodes will be popping into your podcast feed on a regular basis to bring you amazing conversations with our resident Fitness Lifestyle Guru Karey Northington. 

In this episode we talk all about the real costs associated with competing in a Bikini Competition.

HERE IS THE LINK TO OUR FREE GOOGLE SHEET TO TRACK YOUR COMPETITION BUDGET! 

The Non-Negotiable Stuff

  1. League Membership (this is NOT show registration)
  2. Show Registration - There can be a penalty fee if you sign up last minute. Also, if you plan on doing multiple classes there is also a fee for this.
  3. Your Tan
  4. Shoes (If you're in a league that requires the clear heels)
  5. Suit - You can borrow one to avoid this cost... or RENT with us to save a few bucks.

 

The Things Amanda & Karey Say SHOULD Be On Your List

  1. Makeup - yes, you can do it yourself. BUT, if you haven't before... leave it to a professional who HAS SHOW EXPERIENCE!
  2. Jewelry - but no need to go expensive
  3. Hair Styling - I (Amanda) always do my own, but I wear it on stage how I wear it in daily life. 
  4. Travel & Show Day Bag - get a roller bag! You don't want to sling anything over your arms with that tan.
  5. Coach - Training / Nutrition / Posing. Also, take into consideration that you may have to extend your prep if you're not ready (which is FINE, but comes with some additional coaching costs!)

 

The "Fun" Stuff

  1. Show day video and photos - believe, you'll want them. And if you compete in somewhere where James Allen is the photographer, mention AmandaLouise and you'll get a discount on the A or B packages!
  2. Show Tickets for Friends / Family - ugh. They can be PRICEY! 
  3. Team Swag - AmandaLouise will be offering back stage outfits soon, WOOT WOOT!
