The world’s first and only automated personal training studio celebrates local member success.

Ridgefield and Westport, CT October 14, 2013:  Koko FitClubs of Ridgefield and Westport today announced that the company’s national Chief Fitness Officer, Michael Wood, will make an appearance at their Westport location , 619 Post Road East in the Fresh Market Shopping Center on Thursday, November 7 from 3-7 pm to celebrate local members’ success  and speak to the public on the benefits of Koko FitClub’s innovative, technology-fueled approach to strength and cardio training, called Smartraining.  On Friday, November 8, Michael will lead a hike in the Devil’s Den Preserve in Weston, CT beginning at 10 am.  Please call 203-894-5055 or 203-557-3994 for details.

Koko FitClub, the “world’s first automated personal training studio,” is using state-of-the-art technology to make exercise simple, efficient and personal for busy men and women. Its patented Smartraining System takes the best of exercise science and designs a completely customized training plan that guides members through each step, with strength workouts that take just 30 minutes or less and cardio sessions which are 15 minutes long.  Dubbed “the future of fitness” by The Los Angeles Times, Koko FitClub offers a fast, effective way to exercise that has earned a passionately devoted following around the country.

The Smartraining System delivers customized workouts created by elite, nationally-recognized fitness experts and personal trainers such as Michael Wood. With over 25 years in the fitness industry as an exercise physiologist, researcher and certified strength and conditioning specialist, Wood has been named to Men’s Fitness “Dream Team” of trainers and has worked with professional athletes and celebrities alike.  In addition Michael was an assistant strength and conditioning coach at the University of Connecticut and an exercise physiologist at the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University.  Now, he brings this experience and expertise to Koko FitClub members everywhere.

“At Koko, we’re not focused on weight loss. We’re building – and protecting – lean muscle levels, which in turn keeps your metabolism revved and fights your body’s natural aging process,” said Wood. “I am always energized to meet local members, hear their success stories, and speak to their communities to show them that there is a better, more efficient way to exercise that fits easily into everyday life.”

According to franchisee Peter Buckley who owns and operates Koko FitClubs in Ridgefield and Westport “It is a rare treat to have Michael with us to celebrate our members’ achievements and dedication to changing their lives and bodies through Koko Smartraining.”

 Buckley says that he has been blown away by how passionate their local “KokoNuts” are about the Koko experience. “Even former gym haters have fun at Koko FitClub. Every workout is new and engaging. And members stay motivated by pounds lost and strength gained, knowing for certain that they are always getting the best workout for them, without ever having to think about it or plan it out for themselves.”

The public is invited to join Koko FitClub to hear Michael Wood speak personally about the Koko Smartraining experience and how it is changing the way people exercise. For more information, call 203-894-5055 in Ridgefield or 203-557-3994 in Westport.
