Ms. Diamond has recently combined
her passion with her profession.  After over a decade of maintaining an “8 weeks out” condition,  she decided to compete for the first time at age 47.  Within two months of that decision, Ms. Diamond earned her pro card in the
WNBF as Ms. Fit Body in June 2011 and will be competing as an IFPA and DFAC Figure Pro in 2012. She offers "Excuse Busters", a unique fitness  coaching for people who have a difficult time reaching and maintaining their wellness goals.   If you dont want to waste money on gym memberships and personal trainers, learn how to identify and eliminate cognitive blocks and dysregulating patterns that interfere with your fitness accomplishments.   This is NOT a form of physical personal training, its a program that complements the work you do in the gym or with a trainer.  Invest wisely by changing your mindset about your body and how you care for it. Four, six, or eight session packages offered for individuals, pairs, and small groups.  Email or  call for fees and to schedule an appointment.

Ms. Diamond is now  teamed up with Darin Steen, Dr. Joe Mercola's fitness guru, and offering personal training in the Steen Method that is followed by hundreds of thousands on YOU TUBE.  They provide this spot on fitness training for small groups, couples, and individuals at Intensity Club located on the Norwalk/Westport line in Connecticut.


And for the bodybuilding/fitness competitor, from novice to pro:
The competition process exposes us to the subjectivity of being judged by all kinds of mostly well-intentioned people (from trainers to teammates to family members and even friends) BEFORE the formal, albeit still subjective, judging by a panel of experienced judges. How do you absorb or filter comments and criticisms about your diet, body definition, style? Does your social life suffer when you're in training? Does shame or anxiety impact your self-esteem before or after being on stage? Do you have the mindset that makes the training and diet part of your "body business" rather than deprivation or emotional drain? Would you like to know how to create your own "body business plan" and navigate the competition course with greater resilience and ease? Learn how to make your experience a life-learning, positively impactful one regardless of how you place.
