Not everyone knows that the fitness industry is ripe for marketing, hucksters, scams and fad, after fad, after fad, which is exactly why it's so ripe for the sale of hope. And unfortunately, the blame for becoming consumers of these 'products' really can't be placed (too much anyway, since some things should just scream BS) on the consumer themselves. How are they to know any differently? How are they to be able to 'read critically' and assess whether a claim, product, book, service, etc., is worth their hard-earned money?

I've been following Erik’s work for over two years now since
I’ve always admired his training and nutrition methods. In July of
2010 I decided I would do a Figure competition in 2011 so I knew then,
that it was time to choose a diet Coach to get me ready for it. After
researching numerous Coaches and comparing them to the way Erik works and
