Everybody commits to a fitness goal for a different reason. So, no matter the reason, just know that the end result will bring out a better you. Below I put together some info about what you are about to get yourself into… financially, for a fitness competition:

- Hair: $150
- Posing classes: $20/group and $70/single
- Hotel: $100/night

You might have to calculate:
- Gas

- Taxi
- Hair extensions
- Facial: $80
- Eyebrow wax: $18
- Coach: $800-1200
Final tally, you are looking at spending anywhere from $3000-5000, so just be prepared!
After going through my first competition, there are definitely things that I would do differently. The main item that I went with (which was the largest cost), was the Venue Hair/Make-up/Tan. I’m just not sure it was worth the cost. They were all “organized” by the same person, but I would use the word organized very, very loosely. I would recommend going through them for ease of schedule, since they are on-site. However, for price, I am sure I could have hair and make-up done elsewhere. The only reason I would maybe stick to them for the tan, is for touch-ups, but this also depends on location and how well you know the area. Some girls have their go-to people that are available for competition day.
Also, I am creating an ebook with more detailed info and if you would like a free copy once this is finalized, just sign up on the right side!

Wow, what a fantastic cost summary of what to expect when committing to a bikini competition. Where was this information when you were getting started? Oh yeah, that’s right… it didn’t exist. It does now
Great job!
Thanks for all of your support, Mike! Even though I did not want to see that final total – I am completely grateful and happy that I was able to participate in this event.
