My name is Greg and I’m 34 years old. I’m an attorney and a partner in my law firm and am doing my best to help plan my upcoming wedding. To say that I do not have a lot of time or motivation to workout, would be an understatement. Since discovering KoreFit, I have not only found a system that is portable, but also allows me to get a great workout in quickly. Working out on my KoreFit has been great so far, allowing me to feel like I’m really burning fat, elevating my heart rate and I feel better than I’ve ever felt before in terms of building my core. When I heard about the Beach Body contest, I knew I had to try it. Sometimes I have felt like I always needed a goal to make sure I keep up on my workouts, and this contest seemed like just the right thing. While I may not be the most “fit” person in the competition, I can’t wait to really work throughout the challenge and hopefully not only push myself, but the others in the competition!

I am a 35 year old physician assistant working for a surgical spine practice. I have been married for 3 years and have two awesome dogs that are our kids :) I work out 5-6 days per week. Workouts include running 4-5 miles per day, lifting upper body free weights, abs/core exercises, and kettle bell on days I don’t want to run. I am a volleyball player and injured my left shoulder 2 years ago in a beach tournament. A big goal for me is to strengthen my shoulder so I can get back to playing!! I am excited to push my physical fitness to a new level with the KoreFit Beach Body Blast Contest!!

My name is Matt. I am 36 years old, married and father of 2 boys ages 5 and 1 1/2. I am also a Chicago Firefighter. I quit smoking just over two years ago and have been steadily gaining weight. My high metabolism seemed to disappear right around the same time I stopped smoking. Before then, I didn’t really need to actually workout. Between chasing around my oldest song on my days off and all the stairs we walked up at work, I stayed pretty fit. I really need a kick in the butt to get back into shape and I think KoreFit will help me do just that. I’m excited to be a part of this challenge and can’t wait to get started. I’m looking forward to the hard work and better fitting clothes. I also want to be stronger and just all-around feel better.

My name is Dan and I love long walks on the beach but don’t have the stamina. I am 41 and married with four children. I am a Police Detective who rarely has time to work out or the patience to eat properly. I smoked for 17 years and quit after hearing a child talking about how she wanted to celebrate her daddy’s birthday, but he was in Heaven because he didn’t stop smoking. That coupled with difficulty climbing a flight of stairs without wheezing convinced me to quit. Well, it would appear that I am an “all or nothing” guy, so I gave up cigarettes and took up food, and still cant climb a flight of stairs. I don’t want my family to say that they want to celebrate my birthday but they can’t because I didn’t get healthy. KoreFit, help me reach my goal of a full and happy life with my treasured family, they will cheering me on all the way. Who know, maybe I will be able to see my feet from a standing position again! What’s a half hour a few times a week?
Let’s do this,
Dan

Meet Marcelo!
My name is Marcelo. I am 36 years old and have been living in the US for 10 years. When i moved here I weighed 16 pounds less and even though I am fairly active I have never been able to go back to that weight. I usually go to the gym 3 times a week, run a bit, do some leg exercises and try to participate on a weekly spinning class. I feel that I may not be as effective with my exercises as I could be and look forward to learning a better process by participating in the KoreFit Challenge. In addition, I am getting married this year and it would be great that my tuxedo fits perfectly!

Meet Karolina!
Karolina Stepek was born and grew up in Poland. She moved to the States in 2000 where she completed her Associate degree in Broadcast and Journalism, Bachelor in Fiction Writing, and is currently completing her Master of Fine Arts degree at Columbia College Chicago. Karolina is also a personal trainer and fitness group instructor. Being once a chubby kid, she was bullied for her ‘plumpness’. She understands those who struggle with weight issues, and believes that fitness changes lives. Therefore as a trainer she focuses on weight loss and nutrition. She calls herself “old school”, but on the contrary, she likes innovative methods of training which she always checks on herself first. She’s decided to take part in the KoreFit challenge to prove that exercise can be fun and effective at the same time!

Meet Jessica!
My name is jessica. I’m a married, 32 year old, mother of 2. I’ve never been totally obese, however, I’ve always wanted to be in better shape. My whole life I’ve felt like I’m only 15 to 20 pounds away from being the healthiest I can be, but I’ve never gotten there. I’ve had an ongoing love affair with food for as long as I can remember, and I really don’t want to end it….but I am willing to make some healthier choices and start taking fitness more serious. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt confident about the way I look….I’m a firm believer in the old saying “if you look good, you feel good”. I would really like to look and feel better about myself….I think I will be a better person all around if I’m able to gain some confidence.
