Success Stories
CKO Kickboxing helps members of all fitness levels reach their health and weight-loss goals, and we are glad to help them in their journeys!
Denise Perez
I’ve been struggling with my weight since I had my 1st son 10 years ago. Now that I had my final baby, I want to get back to the old me. I'm just so tired of using the "I'm big cause of my kids" excuse.
My breaking point was just feeling so unhealthy and being so unhappy. I couldn’t fit into any of my clothes. Everything was fitting so tight. There were times when I would look at the mirror and just cry. I hated myself. I couldn’t believe that I let myself go. Going to the stores and trying on clothes was the worst.
Michele Whiting
Michele was never what you would call “thin.” In fact, no one in her Italian family could be described that way. Michele jokes that if you see any skinny people in her family, they were married in. For many years, she never thought she was any different than anyone else – she had a great family, a loving fiancé, and a seemingly normal life. But Michele began to strugge to walk up the three flights of stairs to her apartment -- her only form of exercise -- and as her weight ballooned, it was a challenge to even walk down the block.
Nicole Fingerhut
Name any diet or supplement, and Nicole Fingerhut has tried it. From Deal-A-Meal to Atkins, Weight Watchers to South Beach, Metabolife to Trimspa, Nicole has tried it all! But no matter what she did, the weight would come back on – and then some.
“We are Italian, and we love pasta and anything fried in olive oil!” Nicole says of her family. She had never learned about healthy food habits, and even after going on Weight Watchers, she was using foods like butter, bagels, dressing and soda to fill up her Points allotment for the day. Nicole endured panic attacks, sleep apnea, and trouble breathing.
Carmen Merced
Many people have busy schedules, juggle work and family, and end up taking care of others before they take care of themselves. But few have had such a hectic and stressful year as Carmen Alicia Merced, member at CKO Bayonne.
Not only does Carmen have a demanding job and family responsibilities, she also was the primary caretaker for her sick mother for much of last year, driving hours a day to bathe and feed her. When her mother passed away in February 2008, Carmen thought things couldn’t get worse – until she lost her grandmother in June, cousin’s wife in August, brother-in-law in September, and cousin just this past November.
A LETTER FROM CHRISTINE BURNS
Today my life changed forever.
I've struggled with my weight all my life and today, for the first time ever, I'm a size 6. While that might not be remarkable to many, to me, it's the world and better than winning the lottery. So thank you for pushing me...especially Jessie for her pushing and bootcamp tactics. I'm a changed person and can't wait to continue to set and achieve new goals with you.
Forever grateful....
Christine Burns
