Enrico Valdez


Today’s featured competitor physique athlete Enrico Valdez. Some readers will remember him from his exclusive interview Chasing his ‘final form.’


Age: 24


Current occupation: Administrative at Joeten Superstore


Reason/motivation for competing:


It began as a way to cope with heartache from an unhealthy relationship and bad breakup by doing something positive, empowering, and healthy. But it became so much more when Valdez realized that competing and training was something he wanted to make a career of.


He developed a deep passion for the sport and realized that his sole purpose in life is to motivate and inspire people through health and fitness.


Other hobbies:


In addition to training and competing, Valdez enjoys “VLogging” and producing new video material for his YouTube fitness channel EV FITNESS.

Valdez desires to become successful in the fitness industry by becoming a Certified Personal Trainer and entrepreneur one day.


He considers his number one fitness and career goal to be in line with his life’s purpose—to motivate and inspire people by giving back to the community and helping others reach their fitness goals.


Advice to aspiring competitors:


“Believe in yourself. Be confident when you present yourself on stage. You’re showing the judges, the audience, and the whole world all of the hard work, dedication, and sacrifice you made and you should be proud of it. Just remember that diamonds are made under pressure and all that pressure you endured during on-season prep created that diamond you have now become.”
