posing & performance
with Rachael Palmer
Discover your x-factor on stage...
Posing is an art that anyone can master with the right direction and practice.
Services
In-person One on One Posing Sessions
Working with me one on one, at either my private studio at home or at Flex Fitness Napier. Together we find out what your posing 'style' is like and how you wish to come across on stage. We go through posing criteria, competition info, tips and how to be prepared for show day and what to expect.
As a posing coach, it's important for me to teach you how to be an individual on stage and discover what makes YOU stand out compared to other athletes.
Every athlete has a 'style' depending on their personality, body-shape and how they naturally move. It is not my job to make you pose like me, it's my job to find out what suits you and discover what YOUR x-factor is.
From your stage walk, to transitions and poses, we cover it all.
You are not signed into any contract for a specific amount of sessions but I will advise you on what I recommend in order for you to feel ready, comfortable and confident to hit the stage.
Sessions can be 30mins or 1 hour.
All federations are welcome.
30min - $45
60min - $65
Online Posing
If you do not live in Hawkes Bay where I am located, or aren't able to travel to see me, you can book an online posing session or sessions, depending on how many you need.
I will go through the same series of questions, give out the same information and have the same intentions for you, as I do for athletes that do in-person posing, as stated above. This is very handy for athletes who want to improve their posing and have posed before or who are new that want professional help in a private in-home setting, who live far away.
I always like to chat to my clients first, learn a bit about them and want they want to bring to the stage, before I start on posing. I may ask for photos before I start working with you, if you have any, to give me an idea of your look and body-shape. I recommend a 60min session first, if you are new with me, so we can discuss things first before we start. I like to get the feel of a person first, as it helps me to identify what style may suit you and to get a feel of your personality. If you are nervous, or find posing or the thought of it scary, please don't worry... we can take things super slow and just get you comfortable in going through the motions first. The idea is to have fun as well, so feel free to bring a sense of humor to the table.
Bookings can be sorted with me via email, so push the button below and we can get started.
30min - $40
60min - $60
Routine Choreography
I absolutely love the 'routine' side of bodybuilding, as it gives you an opportunity to show yourself off as an athlete and gives you the freedom to be a complete individual. Routines can really put a stamp on your name, so you are remembered, not only by the judges but by the audience!
I can help you put a routine together and also help you pick out music if you need help in that area. Your music is really important.
There is no real limit to what you can bring to the stage, it just takes a little courage and creativity and maybe have a think about some talents you have, that you can showcase. Such as dance, gymnastics, martial arts or strength/balance moves that you can do.
Routine Choreography can be done both in-person and online, via videos and consults.
If you need help or simply wish to put a great routine on stage this year, contact me below and we can start brainstorming some ideas.
