Steve Hoffman is a financial services professional with over 35 years in Commercial Banking. He could be best described as a weekend warrior, as he plays basketball, hikes, mountain bike on a fairly regular basis. But as the years passed, he finds myself trapped behind a desk, falling out of shape and gaining weight. "I joined Peak based on the urging of a dear friend, Joan Bertussi, who has been a member of Peak for over a year. She has always advocated for Peak due to the varied fitness activities, outstanding trainers and the great members who are so supportive . After many months of gentle prodding I joined her for a class, and although physically daunting the first time out, I became a Peak believer. I joined Peak to complete the 28 Day challenge in order to jump start my fitness and change my eating habits to a much healthier diet. Both worked! All of the coaches that I have worked with- Eliana, Alex, Joe and Jamie have been incredible. Every class is different so I never became bored, and I find myself doing things that I haven't done in many years. The sense of accomplishment is wonderful and had yielded great results- I lost over 14 lbs by working out and altering my diet. I have to say that joining Peak has been one of the best decisions of my life!" said Steve Hoffman.

Jennifer Mathurin is a 32 year old wife and mother of two and devoted Christian. "I enjoy doing any physical activities such as swimming and dancing . A lot of my time is spent caring for my kids and working a full time job . But in between the craziness , I always find time to laugh and appreciate the simple things in life. I started my fitness journey in the winter of 2018. I gained a few undesired pounds with my last pregnancy and I decided it was time for a change . Although my regular workouts at the local gym were good , at times I would feel bored and not motivated . A close friend told me about the Peak Physique and the 28 Day challenge promotion . I was instantly impressed by the challenging workouts and overall support provided by the trainers. Overall I lost 17 pounds and I feel amazing!" said Jennifer Mathurin.

Helen Santos has been struggling with her weight for most of her life. In January, she decided to lose weight again because she was turning 50 this year. "I felt if I don't do it now, I will never do it. I joined weight watchers and started exercising again. I would run three miles four times a week, go to my old gym and take classes. I lost some weight, but it was a very slow process and I wasn't seeing the results that I wanted to see even though I was going to the gym a lot!! I started to search online for a program that would help me with my workouts. I saw Peak Physique and all the pictures that they posted of people who have lost weight there, so I decided to call and give them a try. I spoke with Daisy. She was so friendly and answered all my questions. She told me about the 28-day challenge, and I decided right away that I was going to do it because I knew that I could commit to 28 days. I went in that week and I loved the classes. All the coaches and staff always made me feel so comfortable that I really enjoyed going to the gym. All the classes were different and the coaches are so motivating. I lost 17 pounds during the challenge and in total 33 pounds. I go about 5 times a week and always get a great workout. I still have some weight to lose, but I do see a difference in the way I look and feel, and it's definitely because of Peak Physique" said Helen Santos.

Gregg Straffin is a partner at York Trailers, a family owned trailer and vehicle accessory dealership in Butler, New Jersey. "We sell and install things such as snow plows, truck bed covers, trailer hitches, floor mats, seat covers, 12v lighting and more. We have owned the business for nearly 17 years and have continued to grow and evolve as the market demands. I joined Peak during the 28 day challenge because I realized that in a few months I would be turning the big 40. I wanted to get healthier and more fit. I was not so concerned with loosing much weight, as I have always been skinny, however I had poor muscle tone. The demands of my job require me to lift heavy weights and I am very active throughout the day. I found that it was requiring more effort to climb up into the bed of a truck or to carry large objects. I have done video workout programs and workouts at home, but grew tired of them quickly. The fact that the workouts are always different and fast paced, along with having a group of like minded individuals who share similar goals was what attracted me most to join. One of the biggest attributes to Peak is the community. The members are all very supportive of one another and welcoming to newcomers. The private facebook group allows people to post questions or concerns, which are always met with several answers from both membership and coaches. It is nice to know that other people have been where you are. The coaches are all very friendly and quick to help you with a new exercise or to correct your form. Joining Peak has helped me to make several changes in my day to day. On most days, I get up early to hit a session before work. I find that this prevents 'life' from getting in the way of your scheduled workout. I also plan my meals for the day now. There is no more stopping for a bite to eat on the way home after work. I take time each day to think about my goals and what needs to be done that day. Overall each day becomes easier, more structured, and I have a more positive outlook" said Gregg Straffin.

The 28 Day Hot Mommy Makeover (women)/ 28 Day Shred (men) Challenge, is a weight loss boot camp and boxing program for busy people struggling with how to get started on their weight loss, fitness and nutrition journey. Peak Physique guides you with motivation, support, and accountability, so that you will have a foundation leading towards your Ultimate Dream body goals that you have always wanted.



"I would like to thank Steve Hoffman, Jennifer Mathurin, Helen Santos, and Gregg Straffin for sharing their weight loss journeys. I am currently on my weight loss journey, and have lost 37lbs in 23 weeks at Peak Physique. I am so excited to finally meet my weight loss goals with the help of Steve and Eva Eckert, and the awesome coaches here. Steve Hoffman, Jennifer Mathurin, Helen Santos, and Gregg Straffin are true success stories and should be applauded for their transformation. They did it the old fashion way with hard work and good nutrition. I am inspired by these stories, and look forward to writing more about people's weight loss successes at Peak Physique" Jacqueline Cassagnol, MSN, RN, PhD(c), Founder & President of Worldwide Community First Responder, Inc.
