So then one of my best friends (Alex) told me she was starting a boot camp,
which made me laugh. Out of curiosity when I called her to see if she was
still alive, she told me how much she loved Sonki Fitness. So then I joined
too. :) Sonki Fitness is my ideal workout environment as it reminds me of
soccer practice in every way - the exercises we do, the camaraderie with the
other Sonki Fitness Warriors, and the admiration I have for Sonki like a
coach. I don’t just love going to Sonki Fitness, I’ve become addicted. I
remember after my first class I couldn’t wait to go to the next class. Sonki
Fitness Boot Camp is so much fun. My friends and I laugh and have a great
time, and by the end of the morning we are not talking anymore but
encouraging each other with high fives and shouts of inspiration. This is
what I needed to get back into shape and begin enjoying working out again.
When I started Sonki Fitness, I ran my mile in over 7 minutes on my fitness
assessment, and can now run it in 6:33. My goal is to run the mile in less
than 6 minutes, and my fellow Sonki Fitness Warriors are pushing me to
accomplish this. I feel so much stronger and feel capable of achieving
anything now.
Hi, my name is Jocelyn Mayer
and I am a Sonki Fitness Addict.
How long have you been working out?
My entire life. Playing soccer,
snowboarding, running and wake boarding.
What is your current exercise routine?
Sonki
Fitness (Mon, Wed, Fri) at 6:30am and a run with my dog once a week. Does
riding around on my beach cruiser on the weekends with my friends count?
What is your motivation to stay in shape?
My
passion for clothes because I like fitting into them. My husband Randy
because he is losing more weight than me. And I just want to feel good about
myself and feel confident. I am more confident and have a better outlook on
life when I am in better shape.
What is your greatest challenge to staying in shape?
Getting
out of bed at 6am is very challenging, but after Sonki’s class I feel so
wonderful. To know that by the time I get to work in the morning I have
already had a productive day, have already seen the ocean, hung out with my
friends, and got my exercise out of the way is an awesome feeling at 7:30
am! My greatest challenge to staying shape is definitely not to fall out of
my routine and out of shape. Once I do that it is SO difficult for me to get
back into it. That's why Sonki Fitness is perfect for me. When I sign up for
the 5-week session, I know I have to go Mon, Wed and Fri. There is no
backing out.
What is your key to success?
My key
to success is to stay focused. It is so easy for me to lose my focus and to
become lazy. I really want to achieve. I want to lose this weight and get
back into top shape.
How long have you been doing Sonki Fitness Boot Camp?
This is
my fourth 5-week session along with one XT (Xtreme Training) week, which was
the best week EVER!!! I am trying to convince Sonki to do another XT week
soon!! (But he says he needs vacation). In one week of XT, I have never felt
so good about my commitment and focus. The camaraderie you gain with the
others is so strong and being able push your limits is unbelievable, which
at the end of the morning feels amazing. I was so proud of myself, and we
need another one soon!
What do you like about Sonki Fitness Boot Camp and how has it
affected your life?
Well
besides that I am completely addicted, I love the positive group
environment, how fun the program is, and nice and encouraging everyone is to
each other. Sonki has affected my life because I never knew when I would get
back into working out again, if ever. My energy level has completely
changed. I remember my first session with Sonki I was SO exhausted and could
hardly keep up. I now notice how much easier exercising is for me and how
less of a struggle it has become. I am not saying it is not extremely tough,
so don't get any ideas Sonki ! My Husband does it now and my two best
buddies are Sonki Fitness Warriors too so we have fun with it. Sonki’s
presence is uplifting and encouraging so you can’t not like him. You don’t
want to let him down…and sometimes when you have NOTHING left running up the
stairs, he is at the top waiting to give you a high five, and suddenly all
the pain was worth it.
What advice would you give to others about fitness?
Find a
plan that works for you. And find an environment that you feel you can
succeed in and make a commitment to stick with it no matter how hard or
challenging it gets. For me, the excuses hurt more than the physical pain,
so I would rather live with my legs being sore from pushing myself than my
attitude being down because I know I didn’t try my very best.
Any other comments?
Yes, I
have some other comments. First, I want to thank Sonki for pushing and
encouraging me, changing my entire outlook on exercise & fitness, and being
so very cool. Secondly, I want to say that Alex and Erin are going to give
me a lot of s**T for being the Sonki Fitness All-Star of the month, and all
I have to say is BRING IT!!!! We all know who will win this war!
