Executive Testimonial

As they said, show me your friends and I will predict your future.

Please meet Alexandria Maruska Global Business Development for a Data and Analytics Software Company

Alexandria Maruska joined Sunny Biggy Fitness at the beginning of the pandemic. Her occupation is building business in new markets globally for a software startup.

The consistent travel across all time zones can be stressful, so when the pandemic hit, she realized that this was her opportunity to take some time to focus on her health and lifestyle. When she joined, I knew she had what it takes to get the job done.

After the first 45 days, with hard work and consistency, she achieved her fitness goal, and she didn't stop there as she also volunteers and serves on @ABoyandHisDream board as the Marketing Director. #aBoyandHisDream

She continues to train and serve, reaching goals that she never thought were possible. I am thrilled about the achievements and growth that she has made, both personally and professionally. She told me that because of the #SunnyBiggyFitness lifestyle, she feels better overall and performs better at work.

It has been a pleasure working with Alexandria. She is not just a friend, but she is family.

Sunny Biggy Fitness Helping People Get Back on Track in 2020 Through Fitness

During the 2020 pandemic, Sunny Biggy Fitness offered over 100 free fitness classes to help people manage the stress due to the series of unfortunate events during the 2020 pandemic.

Last year was a really rough year for most people. Sunny Biggy Fitness knows the value of regular exercise and how it helps reduce stress. We executed a plan to create over 100 free fitness opportunities to help people get back on track throughout the 2020 pandemic.

Thank you to Sunny Biggy Fitness wellness colleagues, Kay Yasin, for her help with the Saturday Bootcamp sessions and Kathryn Ziegler for her collaboration with fundraising efforts for A BOY AND HIS DREAM.

We definitely made some new friends in 2020. Although many of those connections were virtual, we feel thankful that we were able to come together and work out. Our participants have shared how the free sessions have helped them manage their stressful pandemic situations.

Valentine's Day in the Windy City Sunny Biggy Fitness Style

It seems like yesterday we were celebrating the New Year, and now in one month is another holiday. The holiday of love, Valentine’s Day. We have a great holiday package for you and your loved one.

Most couples celebrate Valentine’s day dining at a restaurant. However this year, it will be much different. The pandemic has caused the closure of many restaurants in the Windy City and for those remaining, they can only operate outdoors. What was once a common way to celebrate your love, this year, unfortunately, the dining options at a restaurant will be sparse.

We thought it would be fun to offer a healthy gift you can enjoy together. Therefore, we curated a special Valentine’s Day Couples package. This package offers two personal training sessions and one nutrition assessment. While we are still stuck in quarantine and lockdowns, make the most of it and get healthy together. Sunny Biggy Fitness will create two custom workouts that you will enjoy together and a nutrition assessment. Sunny Biggy Fitness will get you on a proper healthy routine.

Here are a few other Valentine’s Day gift ideas. Shop at the Sunny Biggy Fitness store for yoga mats, T-shirts, water bottles, bootcamp subscription, workout videos, and more!

Sunny Biggy Fitness Workout Space IG Contest

Happy New Year!

At the end of 2020, we challenged Sunny Biggy Fitness clients to share with us their at-home workout space. Many people are reluctant to work out in their homes because they are not used to doing it, however, now more than ever, we need to be consistently exercising and thoughtful in our nutrition. We need our bodies healthy to fight the flu, COVID19, and other infections.

For all of us, 2020 brought about major disruption from a professional and personal perspective. Many of us are now working at home, homeschooling, and for most of us, we are not getting enough exercise. Add on unsatisfactory weather, consuming too much alcohol and sweets, and this ugly combination can quickly bring on depression and anxiety. Eating properly and following a fitness routine is essential and will help your mind and body. You can do all of this from the safety of your home.

As you can see, these Sunny Biggy Fitness clients have created space in their homes where they dedicate part of their day to their health by working out with Sunny Biggy. No matter what size your living space is, you can make it work for exercise. Need any helpful tips on how to make that happen, let us know.

Now, for the winners of the Sunny Biggy Fitness at-home workout space contest! We decided to award seven winners with Sunny Biggy Fitness swag. YAY!

CONGRATULATIONS!

Happy Thanksgiving from Sunny Biggy Fitness!

image0 (1).jpeg

Wishing you all a very safe and happy Thanksgiving holiday!

Thanksgiving is a time to spend with loved ones, a time to be thankful for what we have, and a time to remember those who are struggling. The founder of Sunny Biggy Fitness, Sunny Akhigbe, is also the founder of A Boy and His Dream Foundation.

In his book, A Boy and His Dream, Sunny Akhigbe (pen name Okosun), shares the struggles he endured and how he strived to overcome those early challenges. From hunger to being ostracized by a polygamist family, he experienced severe poverty while growing up. At the same time, his elders imparted important lessons that Sunny Akhigbe (pen name Okosun) took to heart, including the message that he was in charge of his own destiny.

Sunny built A Boy and His Dream 501(c)(3) non-profit to help children in Chicago and in Nigeria, so that they, like him, could learn to be in charge of their own destiny. The foundation supports children through mentorship, scholarships, speaking engagements, and more. All funds raised go directly to the children A Boy and His Dream supports. If you would like to give this holiday season, any donation amount, monthly or one-time is so greatly appreciated.

What will you be doing Post-Thanksgiving? You'll be joining Sunny Biggy Fitness for a Post-Turkey Bootcamp so you can burn off all those crazy calories you consumed at Thanksgiving.

In this Bootcamp, Sunny Akhigbe will take you through a fun and invigorating workout. Join Sunny Biggy Fitness for an exciting time from the comfort and safety of your home.

Impact of Good Nutrition in Transformation - Results

“Working out with Sunny, although virtually, has been a great experience. I have never hired a personal trainer before and would use DVDs and online workout programs. The programs do work but Sunny’s personalized sessions and involvement adds a different level. Sunny will motivate and push you towards your goal!! I was able to healthily drop 12lbs in the 10 sessions! I love my results and will continue to work towards my goal and am happy to be working with Sunny!”
— Darion

Transformation doesn’t just happen. It requires a strong mind and hard work. The most important thing is building a solid nutrition and exercise foundation so that you can maintain a healthy weight throughout your lifetime, not just for a special event or after the holidays.

Darion followed his personalized Sunny Biggy Fitness good nutrition and fitness program and lost 12 pounds in a short 10 sessions and as you can see, he gained a significant amount of muscle definition. Having a proper diet and a regular exercise routine is essential for any transformation. Having someone hold you accountable, will increase your chance of success.

Sunny Biggy Fitness will design a custom nutrition and exercise program to meet your goals and will hold you accountable so that you have a successful and healthy journey through this holiday season and beyond. Click on the button below to learn more about our nutrition and fitness programs:
