The Results

I began working with Teddy right after the 2018 holidays.  As a former D-1 basketball athlete, I believed that my 2-a-day HIIT classes and circuit style weight training would forever be the foundation to maintaining a strong and lean physique. Once I connected with Teddy, I ultimately learned how to train smarter. Teddy helped me reconnect with the inner “mamba mentality” that I developed from my early beginnings in basketball. The lessons that I have learned from Teddy surpass the gym and macro counting and have transitioned to my personal and professional life, instilling in me a certain confidence that with the right focus, discipline and intestinal fortitude, I am capable of having a seat and voice at any table!

I’ve been working with Teddy on and off for over 4 years now- and I can tell you I’ve tried other coaches in-between and no one comes close to the results and knowledge that Teddy delivers. He treats everyone as an individual and caters a training and nutrition plan to ensure you succeed. This last prep for my bodybuilding competition was only 4 weeks of working together and he created drastic improvements to my body conditioning (more than I had done in the 2.5 months prior) which led to a win on a World Stage! He is organized, knowledgeable and ensures timely communication with his clients. Do what he says and you won’t be disappointed!

I worked with teddy for 8 weeks prepping for my debut show The INBF NaturalMania. I knew the gist of things but I wanted to leave no room for error and entering my first show in the best shape I can be in. I wasted no time and went to the best, Teddy. Why did I choose to go to TPN over everyone else? I love how Teddy keeps everything clear and simple. Most coaches nowadays over complicate things when it’s not necessarily beneficial.  The fitness industry loves to sell the market fad diets and secrets when the reality is there is no secret behind weight loss. It’s all science and I know Teddy knows his stuff. I wasted no time even considering anyone else for I only trust Teddy to give my full commitment and willingness to his instructions on how to approach my final 8 weeks. Everything he advised me to do I simply followed. 

After competing for 2 years, I decided to work with Teddy and it was the best experience I’ve ever had working with a coach.   Not only was the diet very strategic and tailored specifically for my needs, but his attention to detail goes unmatched.    While also keeping my hormonal health in check, I was able to learn a lot about my body throughout the entire process.   If you’re looking for a coach, contest prep or not….look no further.

Working with Teddy over the last 4 months has been a truly remarkable experience. Prior to meeting Teddy I was spinning my wheels in the gym not achieving the results I truly desired. I chose Teddy over a multitude of other coaches because of his strong foundation of knowledge in contest preparation, nutrition, supplementation, and exercise science. Teddy exceeded my expectations in preparing me for my OCB bodybuilding debut. From the start, his plan was thoughtfully programmed, coherent, and easy to follow. Most importantly, Teddy took the time to listen to my questions and concerns, and provided me with the consistent daily attention I needed throughout my preparation. Teddy excels where most coaches fall short; such as making the meaningful MINOR adjustments along the way to yield the best results. I never once felt deprived, frustrated, or sick. Instead, I felt encouraged, energized, and strong! Undoubtedly, the last 4 months have been the HEALTHIEST my body has felt in a long time. The results speak for themselves, and I am overjoyed to sit here and write this testimonial as OCB’s newest natural bodybuilding PRO. I cannot thank Teddy enough for all he has helped me achieve, and I look forward to working with him as I prepare for my OCB PRO debut!

I’ve known Teddy from when we were in high school. I’ve seen Teddy’s dedication over the years which I’ve always found admirable. I love Teddy’s no bullshit (excuse if we are keeping it PG.. haha) attitude. After a previous stint with Ted that I did not do my part, I’ve jumped in now with him 110% and the result in a relatively short time have been amazing. From The middle of March to June I’ve got into the best shape of my life. Having Ted in my corner for any questions or helping working around my injury have made a huge difference. I look forward to continue working with him and seeing where my ceiling is.

I am a fitness professional who is teaching on average 14 cycling classes a week. After several years of not knowing how to properly fuel my body, under eating and also eating the wrong things, I was in desperate need for a change. I was sick of feeling bloated, having low energy and gaining weight randomly. Thank the heavens for Teddy. He took the time to educate me on what I needed to know. He was strict but also so encouraging and held me accountable every step of the way. He tailored a plan specifically to me and what I needed. The tools Teddy has given me have helped me with my overall physical look and I’m able to ride harder and coach better.

I made the decision at the beginning of this year to compete for the first time ever. A friend recommended me to Teddy and said he’s the best and really understands the female hormones (which is what I was mostly concerned about. I wanted to ensure I take care of my health first and foremost). And I am so glad that I went with Teddy and had the opportunity for him to be my coach. The past 8 months working with him has been nothing short of amazing. My body has transformed in ways I have never imagined. I managed to gain 3 lbs of lean muscle tissue ALL while dieting down and dropping fat. The fact that we were able to accomplish this in 8 months is seriously remarkable. And the best part of this journey is that he taught me so much along the way. He’s so knowledgeable and educated with so many years of experience, he just knows exactly what he’s doing, and my results show it! I’m so grateful to have Teddy by my side and will continue to work with him through my reverse diet and as I head into next years season. Highly recommend him!!

Working with coach Teddy has been the best coach/client relationship I’ve had. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable but he is also genuinely invested in my progress. I have never had a coach prior to Teddy that made balancing my hormones such a priority. I ate with intention not just to hit my macros. Every day I felt like I had a teammate working with me towards hitting my goals, and that accountability was so important during a long competitive season! I’m so excited to see what we do next, he is truly the real deal.

Teddy has exceeded my expectations in every aspect of what a great coach should be. When we started working together, he adjusted my supplement protocol, created an individualized workout program that focused on my weak areas and my competition goals, and adjusted my macros when needed to ensure I was eating as much as possible while reaching my ideal stage weight by show day.

With every check-in, Teddy would respond to my emails very quickly and if there were any unexplainable weight fluctuations or biomarker concerns, he would always have me check-in twice a week and he’d send me messages to ensure things were improving. He has always been on top of everything so much so that I often think he is more invested in my goals than I am.

Teddy is also just a really great and down to earth person. He is so easy to talk to, always has a positive attitude and helps to make the experience sustainable and fun. I can talk to him about anything and everything because he truly cares and wants nothing but the best for you.

I’ve been Working with Teddy for a little under a year , and it has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made . I had a vision in my head of the goal I wanted to accomplish and he was able to customize a plan for me that would get me to my goal in the safest way.  Also being in the fitness industry I always try to find ways to gain new knowledge to help me with my own clients whether it be in nutrition and or training, Teddy was always able to provide me with help whenIi needed. He’s extremely professional and reliable and isn’t there to sugar coat anything. That’s exactly what you want from a coach.

Not sure where to even start with this guy… I have been working with Teddy for only about 5 months now but honestly feels like I have known him for years. I decided back in March I needed a change in my life and wanted something that was going to push me both physically and mentally. I had always wanted to step on stage and compete but I had absolutely no idea where to start or what any of that entailed. By the grace of freakin’ god I was referred to Teddy by a friend and we got to work right away.

We set our sights on a show in July which gave us about 17 weeks to whip this bod in to shape. I had zero weight lifting knowledge, had never counted a macro (honestly had to google what that meant) and thought carbs were the enemy. I was what many would call “skinny fat”. Out the gate Teddy outlined a very detailed nutrition & training plan that was tailored specifically to me and my fitness goals. He helped educate me on the proper nutrients (carbs being a crucial component) needed to build muscle. Not knowing how my body would respond to any of this, he kept close tabs on me to see if we needed to make any tweaks to the plan along the way and checked in on my mental state throughout the prep process.

In 17 weeks’ time I had dropped 15 lbs of body fat, gained 6 pounds of lean muscle tissue & an immeasurable amount of confidence. Teddy was there in the crowd on my show day cheering me on and watched me place 3^rd in my first WNBF bikini show.

Best thing I have ever done for myself was to start on this fitness journey with Teddy.  I truly have him to thank for pushing me to be the best version of myself. Proud to be part of team TPN and can’t wait to see where we go from here.

I started bodybuilding this past spring. I had always been a fan of the sport but moving to the United States from growing up in a small town in Greece made the transition real. Once I moved to Connecticut and started working out at Power House in New Haven, I knew I needed to put more effort into my diet and nutrition if I wanted to compete at the NPC level. After researching for that person I wanted to work with, I knew I had to work with Teddy to get the results I envisioned. After we discussed what I needed to do, I immediately knew he was the person to help me achieve these goals. Not only was he able to prepare me for competition, but he also supplied me with a diet and supplements needed to attain my physique. In November 2021, I did my first NPC show and I was thrilled with the transformation my body had taken under the careful guidance of Teddy. Under his coaching, I am excited to take it to the next level as I continue to train during my off season. I plan to do more shows in the future under his guidance and suggestions. Thank you man for all the support and diligent coaching.

Teddy is my first, and to this day, only coach. I respect and admire he and his “no excuses” work ethic and direct & honest approach. He keeps it simple, if you follow his instructions, to a “T”, you’ll be a champion. Period. I did…I am…and I’m coming for more. Thanks for everything Ted!

~ Jacob Thomas

I’ve been working with Teddy for just under 12 months and the transformation that my my body has taken has been incredible. He has taken a methodical and careful approach to my contest preparation and I’m always confident under his direction as he is experienced, knowledgeable and truly enthusiastic about the sport of bodybuilding. If you’re considering working with Teddy, I will never hesitate to recommend him – but be willing to do the physical, emotional and mental ground work because his results are second to none when you’re compliant, hard working and consistent.
