Craig Bonnett
WBFF Pro Bodybuilder,
Mr. Manitoba 2006

Craig Bonnett is a certified Personal Trainer and competitive bodybuilder. Over the last seven years he’s taken his own body, slapped on 80 lbs of lean muscle mass, dropped his body fat in half, and won the title of Mr. Manitoba 2006. His fitness journey began while attending Brandon University taking his bachelor of Music Degree. Until this point, he wasn’t athletic in the least. His own transformation came from years of fitness research and a tremendous amount of self-discipline, which he developed from his music studies.

Craig was the head trainer at Winnipeg’s largest fitness centre for over four years, where he had had the opportunity to work with a variety of different clients. Craig has become well versed on many different workout theories, dieting techniques, and nutritional supplements. Recently Craig has turned his focus towards working with competitive athletes (Bodybuilding, Fitness and Figure) and higher end Physique Consulting.

Diane needed the encouragement of Craig and ContestPrep.ca to be brave enough to take her beautiful physique to the stage. She was right to listen to his expert opinion - winning her first figure competition, taking the 1st place trophy at her second show and narrowly missing out on an Overall Provincial title during her first competitive season!

“When I was looking for a trainer to whip me into shape, it was an obvious choice after reading Craig’s impressive bio on Contestprep.ca. And upon our first meeting, I knew I was in the right hands. Within the first 2 weeks of following a personalized diet plan and workout schedule suited to my needs, the inches and pounds started to drop. With years of experience in training, competing, and judging, Craig’s keen eye could see my dream physique very early on in my transformation and encouraged me to take my training to the next level and step on stage.

With ContestPrep.ca's advice I WON my 1st competition!

Wanting to bring an even better package for my second competition 10 weeks later, Craig tweaked my diet and brought me challenging new workouts. It was Craig and ContestPrep.ca’s knowledge and experience that took me to centre stage again, qualifying for Nationals! Craig is dedicated to this sport and the success of his athletes (he even went as far as helping me choose a stationary bike!). His knowledge of the sport goes beyond lifting weights and proper diet. He provides advice on all aspects of this sport including supplements, tan, suits, and posing. Armed with years of experience and knowledge of how build your best physique, passion for this sport, and a WBFF Pro Card, isn’t it obvious? Train with Craig Bonnett.”

“Working with Craig Bonnett has been great. After seeing and hearing how good Craig is at coaching for contest prep I decided to jump on board and so far everything has been AWESOME.

Craig is very quick to respond to e-mails, and will always explain something if asked. This will be my first season working with Craig and in a short time I have made huge changes to my physique. I would recommend ContestPrep.ca to anyone who wants to completely transform their body in a positive way. With 4 more weeks left until my 4th competition, I can say with confidence that I will be at my absolute best condition and be bringing the best overall package I have ever had. I will definitely be working with Craig for as long as possible because I strive to constantly improve and he is the one who will help me do that! Thanks ContestPrep.ca, you guys are awesome!!”

“I have been working with Craig & ContestPrep.ca about a year now and he has been able to guide me through a very successful competition season. Craig looks at you as an individual and is able to determine what diet and exercise plan is best suited for you. As far as competing goes, he knows what the judges are looking for and is able to help you transform your physique into its personal best come show time. Competing or not, if you want to get into the best shape of your life I would highly recommend Craig from ContestPrep.ca to help you do so.

I can truly say, looking great sure does feel great too! ”

This incredible athlete managed to get ripped up for his first bodybuilding competition despite the demanding schedule of a new baby and exhausting shift work!

“Craig is one of the best in the biz. He got me shredded for my first show and taught me a lot about proper nutrition. I was terrified about getting on stage and doing a routine. Craig was there every step of the way, motivating me and helping me overcome my anxiety. He definitely made the whole process a great experience for me. ”

Stacy has worked with Craig & Jewels at ContestPrep.ca since 2009 to create shape and symetry in her physique - setting her up to win both of her debut 2011 season figure contests!

“I have been training with Craig now for almost 2 years, and I have never met a trainer so dedicated, and enthusiastic about helping a client live a healthier lifestyle. Not only has he helped me with my weight loss, but he has guided me along in reaching my goals to compete. As a result of my training with ContestPrep.ca, I took first place in both the Manitoba Novice and Provincial Figures competition this year, and I will continue to seek Craig Bonnett's assistance for the 2012 CBBF Nationals. I believe he is the best of the best and there is no one that I would trust more to get me through my training.”
