✈️🇨🇦 UFE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS — DAY 1: TORONTO, WE MADE IT! 🏆🔥EX 600lb man!
Well, what a freaking day! 🤣🤣
Our adventure started last night with a drive to Saskatoon. Then up bright and early at 5 AM this morning, got our first picture of Chris Waters, and started the day with our first meal of oatmeal and eggs! 💪
Then it was off to the airport, and that’s where the entertainment started! 😂
Chris is so drained from peak week that pushing the luggage cart through the airport looked like he was moving about 0.1 miles an hour! 🤣🤣 I was starting to wonder if we’d make it to the plane before Christmas!
Our flights took us from Saskatoon to Calgary, then Calgary to Toronto. With flight delays, we almost missed our connecting flight! Nothing like a little extra excitement to keep us on our toes! ✈️😂
Now here’s where you can really see the difference between the coach and the competitor!
I treated our four-hour flight like a dance party, while Chris treated it like a trip to the morgue! 💃💀🤣🤣
I was wide awake, having the time of my life, while Chris was completely KO’d for four hours! 😂
Finally landed in Toronto, picked up our Volkswagen Jetta rental, and made our way to our badass Airbnb!
But the day wasn’t finished yet!
Still had some bodybuilding preparations to take care of. Chris got his shave, sugar scrub and Epsom salt bath.
And yes, apparently being a bodybuilding coach also means scrubbing and shaving another man’s back! 🤣🤣
Twenty-five-plus years in the fitness industry, and I’m still discovering new things to add to my résumé! 😂💪
But that’s what this journey is all about. The hard work, the sacrifices, the laughs, and all the little things people never get to see behind the scenes.
Now we’re both completely drained, Day 1 is officially in the books, and it’s time to hit the sheets!
Tomorrow we’ll be back at it, hitting the gym and putting the final touches on everything before Saturday’s UFE World Championships! 🏆🌎
And when I stop and think about what we’re actually here for, it’s pretty incredible.
Chris Waters — a man who once weighed 600 pounds — is now just two days away from stepping onto the WORLD STAGE to compete for the World Transformation Champion title! ❤️💪
I’m incredibly proud of this man. What a journey we’ve been on, and what an honour it is to be standing beside him for this moment.
We’ve worked hard, we’ve had our laughs, and now we’re getting closer to the moment we’ve been waiting for!
TWO MORE SLEEPS UNTIL SHOWTIME! LET’S GO, CHRIS! 🔥🏆💪
WORLD CLASS GYM — SHUT UP AND LIFT! 🔴⚫
