Clothing and extras for fitness competition, as I said previously, can be pretty expensive.
1) Shoes range anywhere from about $30 (bargain priced) to around $100. Mine were $48. The type of shoes worn have a clear heel and they are quite high (4-6"). Some have an open back while others have straps around the heel. The plastic over the foot is clear.
2) Two piece competition suits might start reasonably priced until you factor in the added crystal embellishments. My choice was just over $50 for the "wet look" until I added the ebellishment work. That jumped the price up to $175. You CAN get a suit for under $100, however it will be pretty plain unless you are able to do your own beadwork. If you have that sort of talent, that is something to think about if you want to save money and have the time to do it yourself.
3) Hair. Some people wear hair pieces, but I'll have my natural hair. Salon cost for me is $75. I've been going to the same wonderful person for style and highlights for yrs. now :)
4) French tip nails will be $45. Maintaining them will be $30 each visit. That will be something different for me.
5) My tanning package for one month unlimited was $39 which I thought was a great deal.
6) Competition card. Must purchase one for organization of choice. My card will be $85 and will be purchased the day of the competition.
7) Entry fee will be $55 for each division for this competition.
8) Don't forget about the PT if you opt to have one. That ranges anywhere from $20-$30/ session. If you split w/someone (PT works with two people at the same time) costs go can go down substantially.
9) Travel and loding. Varies but something to think about.
10) Protein supplementation. Varies depending on what you select. I've learned that this IS important!!
That's the breakdown for me so far. Hopefully that gives people interested in competition a basic idea of what they may be looking at. I was fortunate to get a few great tips from a friend that experienced her first competition, but so much has been me searching on my own. The "Journey" is as individual as the individual :D
