This is a great way for you to brush up on what you have already learned from individual “One On One” workshops. As a beginner the “One on One’s” are necessary in order to fully master the stage. In the “One On One” workshops I am able to work with you individually and help you in your stances and "T" walk catering to your unique physique and tweak and fine tune all your moves.
I will be able to help you display your strong areas and teach you how to hide any flaws as well. In the group settings you will not get that individual attention. After you have a solid working knowledge of what we cover in the “One on One” sessions moving on to the group workshops is a perfect next step progression because you will work in a group setting along with other competitors with training from myself and other WNBF Pro Figure Competitors.
We decided to start a "Monthly Special Group Workshop" schedule for all of you at an amazing . discounted rate!!! This Workshop will be a two-hour class at a discounted rate of $95.00 per person!!!!. Yes, that is correct, $95.00 for two hours!!!! That almost a 50% discount per hour!!!
This class will be for competitors at all levels. So do not worry if you are a first-time competitor, a conditioned competitor, or even at the Pro level. We plan on structuring these Group Workshops so that each and every one of you will be comfortable and able to participate.
I will be sending out monthly Newsletters regarding upcoming Group Workshops plus my ad in Natural Bodybuilding & Fitness Magazine will have our schedule posted as well.
Space is limited for these Workshops, so if you are interested in any of the dates that you see, please contact me at marsico711@aol.com. All payments (non-refundable) must be sent in at the time of registration, money orders only made payable to "Janet Marsico", mailed to The Figure Workshop, PMB 129, 3 Rye Ridge Plaza, Rye Brook, New York 10573.
What to Bring With you to the class:
Your shoes (if you do not have a pair, you can go to sheervanity.com and ask for "Kim" who is a friend of mine and she will take care of you. Make sure to order a 5" heel with a 1/2" platform only).
Shorts and a top that does not cover your shoulder areas. You can wear a tank top. You do not have to wear a competition suit to these classes. A lot of my clients take these classes in their off season to keep their stage presence up to par and are not comfortable in anything less than shorts and a tank or a t-shirt. All of which is 100% acceptable. The most important thing is that you are comfortable.
NOTE: One important thing to remember, do not work out the day of your scheduled Workshop.

... Are you one of Janet's Girls?
Hi Janet
I sit here three days away from my first show and about an hour before I meet with you one last time before I am called for my T walk and Quarter Turns. A few months ago if someone would have said to me: "Mara, you will be on stage at a Figure Competition", I would have simply said, "your crazy"...only because I knew my fears and lack of confidence wouldn't allow me to. I began my journey in a 20 week program and agreed to train for the show and diet as I was told to. It wasn't until the first time I met with you that I felt blessed to have been given the courage to challenge myself beyond my limits.
The first day we met I was overwhelmed with everything you were trying to teach me, I was afraid. Driving home my fears led me to believe that I could not do this. I didn't feel confident with my turns and specially the T walk.. Lets just say I went home scared... as the days passed I stared at my shoes and decided to practice and not give up. Your words of encouragement echoed in my thoughts so I went on to practice as much as I could. The next week we met again, this time I noticed that I felt different. The smile you told me to imprint in my face was no longer one that I felt I was faking. I truly felt confident and sure of what I was doing. I stood there in your house looking at myself in the mirror saying WOW.. Look at me!
The following week I continued to practice and asked you to please schedule time with me every week until the show. I felt safer about the show knowing that I was going to have one on ones with you. The day I went to the Figure Workshop I was a little bit intimidated around the other girls but the minute I put on my shoes I was filled with this confidence about me and I felt that I belong there. It was truly amazing to have had the experience to pose with other ladies at the same time, they were all so wonderful and actually gave me strength. I realized that we were all scared and intimidated and there was nothing I had to fear as they were just like me. Posing with them next to me gave me an idea of what it would be like THE DAY of the show...
Today, three days away I have the need to thank you for what you have given me. I have heard all my life, and I am sure you have to, that the best things in life that you can give to someone are ones that can not be seen but felt with the heart. The gift you gave me, the things you taught me and the support that you have given me is truly priceless. Your dedication for this, the passion that you have in YOU and your willingness to take time away from your family to teach girls like me how to go after their dream is admirable. I have so much respect for you and your vision about The Figure Workshop Company.
Through out this journey I often was asked: "are you one of Janet's girls?"... with a smile in my heart I am proud and honored to have said: " Yes I am"...
I cant wait for my Dad to see me on stage and hopefully he will say to himself: "That's my little girl up there".. (I thank you for that)
God Bless you... see you soon...
Kind Regards,
Mary Negron

What exactly is a "Figure Workshop"?
A figure workshop is a class founded by Janet Marsico for women who are preparing for a figure competition. Janet decided to develop a program where she would help aspiring competitors prepare for exactly what is required in a figure competition. Years back when Janet herself began competing, she became aware of her own lack of stage preparation and realized just how much practice was actually required to execute the series of mandatory quarter turns and individual stage walk with confidence and proficiency. Whether first time competitor or fifth, the class benefits anyone going into a figure competition. Simply put, the more you practice, the more confidence you will have on stage and the more flawless your movements will appear.
One of the first elements the workshop focuses on is the "T" walk. Janet will demonstrate for the girls how to perform a "T" walk. Then teaching each of them how to execute this maneuver. This is an important part of the pre-judging portion of a competition. This portion of the competition is extremely important because the judges are seeing the individual contestants by themselves. They are judged from head to toe. Including skin tone and color, choice of suit, hair, make-up and everything else in between. (These are all factors that Janet considers while working with the girls. She will provide them with all the contacts needed for suits, shoes, tanning products, etc.
|
The next portion of the workshop focuses on "quarter turns". When in a competition the girls will be lined up together and asked to perform a series of quarter turns. The front stance, side stance and back stance. Janet teaches the girls how to display their bodies exactly the way the judges will expect to see them. This is another very important component to a competition. This is where the judges compare the competitors against each other and place them accordingly. The single walk out and the quarter turns are both held during the pre-judging portion of a competition and play very important roles in judging a competition. This is why the workshops are very effective in helping prospective competitors. How they present themselves with each quarter turn is an art and not to be robotic in any way. Janet shows them everything from how to flare their lats (to make the symmetry appear more tapered), how to stand on their quads (to bring out the flare in the quads), how to hold the glutes, abs and every muscle without looking like flexed muscles in a bodybuilding competition.
Private One on One Sessions also available by Appointment during the Weekdays and Weekends.
