BodySpace Spokesmodel: Sean Harley Dreams Do Come True

Below is an interview I did with the extremely talented and IFBB Pro Men’s Physique competitor Sean Harley about becoming a Bodybuilding.com BodySpace Spokesmodel. Enjoy!

Can you give us some background information about yourself and a quick bio on who exactly Sean Harley is?

Sean Harley: I actually grew up playing sports and working as a farm hand in a rural area in Nebraska. Eventually, I went on to play college football, first as a running back and then as a fullback as I was learning how to lift to put on some size. After graduating cum laude with a double major in business management and marketing, I moved out to San Diego and started working in the nutritional supplement business.

During my first year out there I was asked to be in some fitness magazines and my modeling career began. The drive from San Diego to Hollywood started to become more and more frequent so eventually, I made the move to LA. I worked full time as a fitness and commercial model as well as some acting in some soap operas and music videos. Eventually, my path leads me back to Omaha where I opened a gym, the online training website www.ithinkfit.com, and started a small supplement company called Rock Solid Nutrition. Now I run my business and still travel around the country on modeling assignments.

What drew you to the Bodybuilding.com website?

Sean Harley: The low prices! When I was in the supplement retail business, we couldn’t compete with the low prices offered on Bodybuilding.com. So after selling my business, I became a bodybuilding.com customer myself!

How long have you been a member of the Bodybuilding.com community?

Sean Harley: I’ve been buying supplements there for years and I got hooked on Bodyspace about 2 years ago.

What is your favorite feature of the Bodybuilding.com website?

Sean Harley: Obviously, the online store is amazing, and I also love the motivation I get from the Bodyspace community.

What made you enter the Bodyspace Spokesmodel contest?

Sean Harley: One of my personal training clients is a huge fan of Bodyspace. He turned me onto the contest I thought it’d be a great opportunity to stay involved with the fitness community on a national scene.

What was the best part about winning?

Sean Harley: Getting that Ironman cover and article was a dream come true! I’ve also been able to meet and work with some very inspiring people at the expos.

What was the best part of the contest in your eyes? I hear the finals round in LA was incredible.

Sean Harley: The onstage competition during the Ironman was very exciting. We got to share the stage with the pro bodybuilders and compete in front of all the people watching from the crowd and online.

How has winning this contest helped elevate your career?

Sean Harley: It’s really helped me solidify my name a fitness model and it’s also gotten me a ton of business as a personal trainer!

What’s next for you? Any big plans?

Sean Harley: I have a couple of pretty big auditions coming up that I’m getting ready for and other than that I’ll work on growing my business.

Any shout outs or anything you would like to add to this interview that we haven’t already touched on?

Sean Harley: I’d like to say thanks to my client Matt Butler for convincing me to this contest and thanks to my training partner Heath Murray for always pushing me in the gym. Also, I’m very grateful to the Mick and the rest of the friendly staff at bodybuilding.com.
