TESTIMONIALS 

Victor gonzales

"Abfitt building better bodies has changed my life in such a profound way. The knowledge, experiences, workouts, and food intake that have been presented, and given to me is just amazing. I've learned that this is not just a hobby, but a lifestyle. IFBB Pro and coach Richard Seymour has done a phenomenal job in helping me take my body to the next level. No sugar coating from the bossman.  You will understand and learn as an athlete what needs to be done to become a champion. All my 1st places, and overalls would have never happened without the bossman Richard Seymour.

 

If you want to change your life for the better, and know what it's like to become a true Champion.  TEAM Abfitt BUILDING BETTER BODIES  is where it all starts."

"Finding the right coach is important and sometimes difficult. After my first conversation with Rich I knew he was the coach for me. His coaching approach is very in-depth, science based (not bro-science) and demanding. With Rich’s guidance we’ve brought home over 10 wins including 3 overall finishes.  I’m proud to be a part of TEAM Abfitt!"

“I couldn’t image ever feeling and looking the way I do today, as a very strong confident women without the guidance of Rich. I was once obese and lost weight on my own. Then the unthinkable happened and I lost my husband to cancer which threw me into a world of unhealthy living and depression. I found Rich a year later when I needed a change and in a short period of time he helped me find my new life, pulled me out of depression and created a strong, confident women. I can’t express enough how lucky I am to have him in my life always pushing me to be my best and to never give up... because he never does. You want to make a lifestyle change hire Rich. He lives and breathes what he teaches. He’s full of compassion, heart and tough love for all his clients”

"I can sum up Coach Rich in three (very important) words; BEST. COACH. EVER. There are few people whom I can truly say have impacted my life so positively, Coach Rich being one of them. As a bikini competitor, I knew I enjoyed the lifestyle, but it wasn’t until Coach Rich and I connected that I ultimately found my “WHY”. Finding your “WHY” in this sport is vital. Coach Rich shifted my mind and mental strength to understand that bodybuilding can be done with the right nutrition, all-natural and whole foods and true dedication.

 

Abfitt is not just a team but a mindset and I am lucky and privileged to call myself an “Abfitt-er”. With Coach Rich, I have ZERO concerns or worries because I know I am in caring and expert hands with Coach Rich."

"I joined Abfitt in 2016, I was a passenger in a high motor vehicle collision. Once cleared from physical and occupational therapy I turned to Abfitt for guidance to teach, adapt, and maintain a healthy lifestyle.  Abfitt has a compassion for fitness and it has shown by always going above and beyond with the communication and interaction with their clients. I started competing in the npc bikini division in 2017. With the confidence I’ve gained I’ve evolved not just as a person but also an athlete thanks to Abfitt. Abfitt has guided me to:

  • 5x 1st place bikini npc divisions. 

  • 2017 npc ultimate physique championship - 1st place bikini novice B 

  • 2017 PA states-1st place open class d bikini 

  • 2019 Virginia states- 1st place open class d bikini 

  • 2019 Virginia states- 1st place bikini first responder

  • 2019 clash of the titans- 1st place open bikini class E"

"The first time I encountered Coach Rich, it was at a bodybuilding competition in the Lehigh Valley, Pa. He had several clients competing, and I remember watching him rush here and there, with a look mixed with excitement and deep concern, like a father watching his child in a big game. His clients did very well of course, and I knew I wanted to learn more about “team Abfitt”. I found his info online, and called the very next day. From the very first phone conversation I knew I had made the right choice! Rich pours his heart and soul into coaching, creating a strong bond between teammates that really makes you feel like you're part of a family. I learned so much about training, nutrition and self discipline during my time with Abfitt, but most importantly I gained the confidence to believe in myself and my ability to succeed on and off the stage."

"I needed a coach to push me to the next level for competition. Rich was able to take me to 3 overall master bikini wins in 2017 and 2018.  I trusted his process and was the leanest and most conditioned I’ve ever been in my LIFE. Make no mistake Abfitt prep programs are not for the week of heart but then again competitors have a whole different level of commitment that Rich understands and works with because he is one of us."

"I’ve known Rich Seymour as my friend for many years, but 8 months ago I started calling him Coach. I’ve been physically active my entire life and had a fairly clean diet- with few cheat days here and there.  Weight training has been a consistent mainstay since my 20’s.

 

Over the years Rich and I talked about entering a competition, but I wasn’t ready to commit until last year- and it was one of the most rewarding decisions I’ve made. During the training period, Rich provided me with weekly and sometimes daily check-ins to monitor my progress. He provided a diet to follow, nutritional advice and tailored workouts based on our weekly check-ins. I was amazed to see the transformation under Rich’s direction, and always as he predicted.

Under Rich’s guidance I achieved the ultimate reward in just 6 months. In August 2019 I earned my Pro-card at the North American Bodybuilding Championship in Pittsburgh PA.  My first show was in May 2019 at the Greater Lehigh Valley Bodybuilding Championship where I won 1) Open Class, 2) Masters over 40- 2nd Place, 3) Masters over 50 Champion- 1st Place. At the North American Bodybuilding Championship in Pittsburgh PA, I won 1) Master over 50, 2) Masters over 55, 3) Overall Champ in Master over 55. As a result, I earned my Pro Card. Thanks Coach!

Abfitt is not just a team but a mindset and I am lucky and privileged to call myself an “Abfitt-er”. With Coach Rich, I have ZERO concerns or worries because I know I am in caring and expert hands with Coach Rich."

"My experience with Team Abfitt was truly transformational. Whether you are a contest prep client or just a lifestyle client, I can assure you team Abfitt and their coach Richard Seymour will guide you in the right direction. My contest preps are always smooth and I feel at ease the entire time due to the attentiveness of Coach Rich. A good coach along with a good team has made my men’s physique contest preps fun and enjoyable, and I cant wait to get back on stage an do it all over again."

"When starting my contest prep with Abfitt I wasn’t sure what to expect. Rich was exceptional in being able to identify my physique’s strengths and weaknesses and tailor my prep specifically to what I needed in order to succeed. Talk about a legit transformation! I had never done the type of training he implemented into my prep and the results were insane! Our weekly check-ins were crucial, and giving him as much feedback on the previous week so he could make changes where needed were just as important in getting to achieve that end goal.

 

He was always available if I had any questions, and was always detailed in explaining any part of the prep. I trusted the process, and at the end of the day we were standing in that center box!"
