The Confessions of a Bikini Pro Podcast was established in May of 2018 as the first and only place where IFBB Bikini Pros share their struggles, strategies, stories, insights, and advice in a real, raw, and vulnerable setting. Host, Celeste Rains-Turk, dives into the parts of these professionals' lives that aren't always openly discussed in the public eye or on social media (You know, the stuff we tend to wonder about the most).
Today I speak with Ivan Madarang of Geek to Physique. He has been an Internal medicine nurse for 10 years and started coaching in 2016, with a 2 years mentorship under Cameron Cheek and Mike from Peak Athletic Performance. A National level competitor himself, his highly individualized approach is focused on longevity, adapting to each client’s unique nature, from physical to the mental to the physiological.
