Coach Monique Merk here. Just turned 40 this past May and have become a new mom. Enjoying this amazing journey of transforming my body, along with my husband and working my way back to my pre-pregnancy, bikini body. Our lives are shared with our two boxer fur kids and two cats.

A native of Cleveland, Ohio, where we only receive 5 months of warm weather, it is constantly a challenge to get in shape in our climate. P90X has given me the tools to achieve my goals, NO EXCUSES. My health and fitness are a progress in the making.

Do you want to transform your body? Do you want to earn an income while doing so? Everyone deserves to be physically and financially fit, no excuses.

My Progress

My fitness goal: Build Muscle

Transformation story

I had always been a fat kid. Kids in school always make fun of the fat kid. Throughout my teenage and adult life I yo-yoed from a size 8 to a size 14. For me, getting in shape and staying there was a pipe dream. That would always be for the "other people" until my fantasic husband purchased P90X in January of 2009.

We have completed a first round and have started our second. The pounds and inches are shedding away (see stats)in just 90 days. I had paid for years of gym memberships along with a costly personal trainer for six months never being able to achieve the REAL results that I have with this program.

Every day I push play, eat clean and get 8 hours of sleep. My fitness regimen includes band, free weights, a pull-up bar, a yoga block and yoga mat. And hitting the store to pick up a new article of clothing because what I have in my closet is just TOO BIG! Can you dig it?

My largest obstacle has been myself. I don't think about how I am feeling when I go to work out, I just do it. I realized that I can't possibly take care of those around me if I didn't make myself a priority. This is for everyone, this means you.
