Jed Hill Update

December 31, 2010

Early this month, I blogged about Jed Hill, a male fitness model who lost everything he owned because of a house fire. Through the webmaster of JedHill.com (http://www.jedhill.com), the site that was donated to Jed to accept donations for the incident, we were informed of this event and was sent a message by Jed to the fitness community whom he so much admired and respected. Below is Jed’s most recent update about this event in his life.

Dec 26,2010 — Almost six weeks ago I went through a life changing experience, thankfully with everyone’s prayers and positivity I was able to pull through as much as possible. As the holidays came and are now coming to an end it really took an emotional toll on me, not having a home I can call my own has been very tough. I have been carrying on as normally as I possibly can, running to auditions and acting lessons, doing everything in my will to achieve my personal goals in life and really just follow my dream. No doubt the heavy burden of figuring out where I was sleeping next and living out of a suitcase is always on my mind but I refuse to let it get in the way of what I came out here for. Not having many friends or family in LA, my Thanksgiving was spent giving back to the community, I donated my time feeding the underprivileged, having lost everything and really having nothing, I can relate and it just felt really good to make people smile with even just a meal. As of January 1, I will be moving into my very own apt. I never imagined how difficult it can be to start from the ground up. Hopefully with the new year, new wonderful things will come with it. Not having any furniture or a lot of clothing will make it easy to move in but the emptiness of it will just not feel very home like. I am truly blessed to have some really great people on my side but it’s a lot of work, all the help I can get is greatly appreciated. If anyone can find it in their hearts to make any donations or help in any way possible, it can be life changing for me. Thank you all and God bless,

Jed

SPECIAL: David Costa talks to MFM

June 4, 2010

This could be one of the most interesting interviews yet! Aside from the fact that David Costa, being a two-country personal trainer, not considering himself as a fitness model (but obviously has modeled a lot as one), he is inspired to stay fit by a mystery guy from Ricky Martin’s video, “She bangs.” Also, since his teenage years, our not-really-a-male-fitness-model hunk has been living a healthy lifestyle, which led him to pursue five…yes 5…diplomas in physical training and fitness. Thus, whether he considers himself one or not, David Costa definitely is in many photographers’ and readers’ (and admirers’) eyes – a certified male fitness model.

How do you managed your time between Paris and Geneva?

My schedule is very organized; one week I’m in Paris from Monday until Wednesday midday in Geneva, then Dijon until Thursday midday, then Paris until Sunday.

Editor’s note: That’s quite a schedule

How long have you been a fitness model?

I don’t consider myself as a fitness model, I’m a personal trainer. Fitness modeling is for fun, but when I have to work as a fitness model, I’m very professional.

You’ve shot with Dylan Rosser. Describe to us your experience with such fine photographer?

Dylan is a great photographer and a very sympathetic guy. He know exactly what he wants for a shoot and gives the model very good advices.

When you do fitness modeling, what is your regimen before and after a shoot ?

Before a shoot, I reduce my carbohydrate intake and I add my proteins intake and also change my weight training program. Sometimes I stop completely my carbohydrate intakes.

After the shoot, depends on what I have to do (more shooting or sometimes nothing), I come back often slowly to my routine regime.

Have you always been a healthy guy?

Yes, since I was 14 years old! I love sports and I have a good diet and live a healthy lifestyle.

What motivates you to look great?

A dancer in Ricky Martin clip “She bangs.” He had incredible chest and abs!

How long have you been a personal trainer?

I’ve been a personal trainer for four (4) years! First, I was doing it the same time I was studying (for five diplomas in physical training and fitness). Now it’s my full-time job.

As a personal trainer, how do you motivate your clients to achieve their fitness objectives?

It all depends on their goals. I think my body and my mind are the main way to motivate them. Then, my passion for a healthy life style sustains that inspiration.

What else do you want to achieve as a personal trainer and a male fitness model (even if you don’t consider yourself as one)?

I want to develop my personal training business as an industry leader. On male fitness modeling, I would love to be published as a model of a sports wear or underwear brand and also be on a cover of a fitness magazine!
