Meet the Finalists

Jonathan Franke, Alberta

Age: 40

Total Challenges completed: 3

Total weight loss over completed Challenges: 27 pounds*

Jonathan’s initial goal was to lose some weight and see if it would help him feel better. After completing three IsaBody Challenges, he loves the way he feels. Jonathan lost 40 pounds during his first Challenge and then improved his fitness by using the AMPED™ line of products. Along the way, he discovered there is so much more to Isagenix than weight loss. He’s also appreciated the supportive IsaBody community, where program participants help each other reach their goals. With his confidence and health restored, Jonathan is excited to continue his journey with another Challenge, this time with his wife.

June Plahuta, Ontario

Age: 59

Total Challenges completed: 7

Total weight loss over completed Challenges: 19 pounds*

The IsaBody Challenge has enhanced June’s wellbeing by helping her reduce body fat while gaining lean muscle, strength, mobility, and flexibility. She has supported this transformation by consuming Isagenix products as her core nutrition along with clean, organic food and participating in CrossFit. At the age of 59, June not only feels healthier and fitter than ever before but also confident and peaceful. She says she feels like she’s aging backward, and she’s ready to inspire and encourage others as a holistic healthy aging coach. The IsaBody Challenge is keeping her accountable, and she plans on being healthy and happy for many years to come.

Sabrina Rouleau, Ontario

Age: 25

Total Challenges completed: 3

Total weight loss over completed Challenges: 10 pounds*

Sabrina’s transformation includes not only treating her body better than she used to by consuming proper, healthy nutrition but also focusing on how she feels mentally. Thanks to the IsaBody Challenge, she no longer feels guilty about putting herself first, because she knows she can’t pour from an empty cup. She has created balance in every aspect of her life so she can not only take care of herself but also have fun and go outside her comfort zone to try new things. Sabrina is ready and excited for the next steps in her wellbeing journey.

Trevor Besse, British Columbia

Age: 48

Total Challenges completed: 1

Total weight loss over completed Challenges: 15 pounds*

Before the IsaBody Challenge, Trevor focused on work and family life, which left little time for dedicated self-wellness. The Challenge inspired him to create and focus on fitness goals. Those goals included getting into relatively the same shape he’d been in at his wedding 10 years ago and then retaking wedding photos on the beach where he’d said his vows. Trevor says the best part of the Challenge was including his family in his fitness journey. They exercised together five to six days per week. He is truly grateful to Isagenix for providing a program and products that helped him reach his goals.

*Weight loss, muscle gain, lifestyle, and other results depicted here reflect exceptional individual experiences of Isagenix customers and should not be construed as typical or average. Results vary with individual effort, body composition, eating patterns, time, exercise, and other factors, such as genetic and physiological makeup. A two-phase 2016 study published by researchers at Skidmore College showed an average weight loss of 24 pounds after 12 weeks. The study evaluated the use of Isagenix products in men and women for weight loss followed by weight maintenance. During the weight maintenance phase, the subjects who continued the calorie-controlled program using Isagenix products better maintained their weight loss in comparison to those who transitioned to a traditional diet after 52 weeks.

Joanne Schmalenberger & Kevin Kearns Discover Rebounding Fitness & Immunity Strength on Kleyne Talk Radio. Nature’s Tears® EyeMist® Sponsors Power of Water® Water Life Science® Sharon Kleyne Talk Show on VoiceAmerica World Talk Radio & Apple iTunes.

Air Date: 10 August 2020

Guests: Joanne Schmalenberger, wellness trainer & fitness , founder of GravOxy.Beyond Fitness, Fun Fitness on the Run/Body Works That Works, and Kevin Kearns, Beach Bod Transformation & internationally known fitness trainer.

https://www.voiceamerica.com/episode/125037/fitness-and-beyond

*

Kevin Kearns calls Joanne Schmalenberger “the highest-level rebounder trainer in the world” and both he and Schmalenberger join Talk Radio VoiceAmerica World Talk Radio & Apple iTunes host Sharon Kleyne to educate people of all ages and levels about the immunity protection benefits of water, being fit and working out, and wearing masks in public.

Schmalenberger says of her rebounding workouts, “I like to call it roto-rebounding because it’s like plumbing. It cleans out your lymphatic system and lungs. You are flushing the system,” she continues. “The lymphatic system is your highway of health because it’s cleaning out toxins while the cardiovascular system delivers nutrients.”

Schmalenberger offers a variety of workouts for immunity strength on the rebounder and she uses “a whole slew of props” to make it fun and exciting. For instance, she teaches ‘the slip’—how to slip and fall on ice and not get hurt. “When you’re bouncing on the rebounder, you never, ever watch the news. You set up the environment wherever you are to be loving and caring for your soul and yourself. You’re getting a meditation in motion when you’re doing the rebounder,” adds Schmalenberger. “The rebounder takes the strain out of the exercise and increases the length and sustainability of the body.” Schmalenberger and Kearns stress that it is important to invest in a high-quality trampoline because a cheaper version will do more damage to joints and ligaments than a more expensive product.

Kleyne, Founder of Bio Logic Aqua® Research Water Life Science®, also believes in movement and immunity strength with the rhythm of the earth. Kleyne insists that our leaders prioritize water because “the organism of the earth lives with water. To be immune, to protect ourselves from viruses,” adds Kleyne, “we have to drink a lot of pure water. Kearns and Schmalenberger agree.

“I recommend a gallon to a gallon-and-a-half of non-tap water every day,” says Kearns. “I also encourage people to eat veggies and get the body moving.”

We’re mostly made of water,” says Schmalenberger. “Drink a lot of water throughout the day. There’s an APP you can get on your phone that goes off every hour, reminding you to drink water.”

Kleyne also encourages exercisers of all levels and ages to mask up when exercising. “The mask protects you from spit that can transmit virus to you and to the surfaces of inanimate objects,” says Kleyne. “The mask also protects others. It is just common sense to mask up for immunity protection.”
