Now YOU'VE got a friend in the business!
10 Mar 2002
This total insider's guide to the fitness modeling industry offers valuable information in a conversational manner, lets you know who's looking for the next fitness superstars, AND tells you exactly how to contact them.
Clark Bartram's own accounts of his success are honest, candid, and loaded with advice and encouragement for aspiring fitness models - guys and girls. You really feel like he's opening up and telling you everything you need to know. Plus, a lot of his influential friends - agents, photographers, and magazine editors - have contributed chapters explaining the business from every angle.
You come away learning that fitness modeling isn't just about being in tremendous shape, it's about being a shrewd businessperson with a positive attitude. You really learn what it takes - and as a bonus you get simple but effective advice on training and nutrition to keep in top shape all year long.
If you decide you want to be a fitness model after reading this book, you'll feel like you have some real friends in the industry. If you call anyone mentioned in the book and tell them that you read it, I think they'd give you a real shot if you're serious. If you decide you don't want to be a fitness model after reading this book, you'll still have a positive guide with powerful advice you can use to look, feel, and be your very best.

This book is your one stop shop to learning the ins-and-outs of a fitness modeling career. Clark shares all the secrets that most people wouldn't come across right away in the fitness industry. From diet to photo shoot prep, contacting magazines to mastering self-promotion - IT'S ALL IN THIS BOOK along with MUCH, MUCH MORE! And who better than to learn from one of the very best in the industry. It's a very easy read, gives you step-by-step instructions on how to further your career, even tips from photographers, magazines, agencies and other models on what not to do. I don't want to share too much more and spoil the read so you will have to find out the rest for yourself :)
I met Clark Bartram a few months ago at FMI (if your an aspiring fitness model/professional check out [...]) and throughout his speaking engagement he had mentioned his book multiple times. Once i got home from this conference i looked up the book online, bought it and once it arrived i was so excited to read it and finished it from cover to cover in 2 days.
If you are serious in starting your fitness career or taking your career to the next level i recommend reading this book NOW! I wish i had read it at the beginning of my modeling and acting career, but it's never to late to learn and modify! I get asked all the time how to get started in the fitness industry and from now on i'm going to recommend this book.

The Ultimate Reference
5 April 2002
Working as a fitness model can be an enjoyable and profitable career. However, there are many pitfalls and dangers to avoid on this path, and for the first time someone who not only works, but has had tremendous success in this field is available to guide you. From creating your first portfolio, to the details of endorsement contracts, fitness model extraordinaire Clark Bartram will advise you, drawing on years of experience. You'll read about the great satisfaction such a career can bring, but perhaps more importantly you'll be told the truth about the reality of being a fitness model. This includes not only what attributes you'll need to succeed, but also your attitude, and how much money you can honestly expect to earn per shoot. In any field, links with people on the 'inside' are often what's needed to get that big break, and there's plenty of insiders in this book sharing their knowledge with you.
It's not only great man-to-man advice in this book though. The beautiful, and very successful Monica Brant offers advice from a woman's perspective, which is of use to both male and female readers. Also, the people behind the cameras talk about what they look for in a model in the 'Lessons From The Other Side' section. All invaluable knowledge. The structure of the text is such that you can read from cover to cover, but also go straight to a particular topic and still have all the information you need.
In short, if you're serious about a career as a fitness model, or just curious about what such a job would involve, then you cannot afford to pass up on this book. Agencies, self-promotion, tricks of the trade, training programs, possible employers, useful resources and even haircuts are all covered. I've found this book an exceptional resource, and my thanks to Clark Bartram for writing it.
