Congratulations to Mitch, the newest member of the elite Koko Millionaire club! Mitch is one of our favorite Koko success stories. When he first came to us back in 2012, he had been living with chronic back pain for nearly 25 years. He had gone through multiple surgeries and rounds of physical therapy. He had tried lifting weights in the past, along with swimming and other forms of exercise, but nothing had worked to relieve his daily pain...until Koko!

Apparently, what Mitch needed was consistent, full body strength training, within the structured confines of our Smartraining system. Within about 3 months of starting at Koko, Mitch says the chronic pain that he had lived his entire adult life with, was pretty much gone. And from there, Mitch stayed the course and just got stronger! In fact, en route to one million Koko Points, Mitch has lifted over 8 million pounds. He gets through his strength workouts with an average completion time of 28 minutes and 18 seconds, and that efficiency is one of the things that has helped this busy working dad to stay consistent over the years and the inevitable ups and downs of life. He’s also completed nearly 600 miles of Koko Cardio programs, and burned over 300,000 calories!

Congrats Mitch! We’re so happy you found us and have found success and healing with us at Koko. We are grateful for your membership and friendship, and are looking forward to continuing with you on your fitness journey!

"It's easy to fit into my schedule and truly a 'no-brainer'; I just show up, follow the program and I'm getting amazing results. Sure I've lost weight but more importantly, I'm leaner, stronger and have more energy..."*

Good morning from Providence! The Koko Team is out today while we attend the Perform Better Functional Training Summit!

While we are UNSTAFFED, we are not closed, and members are able to enter and work out using their Koko Key and door access fob. One of the benefits of our tech-driven model is that we can stay open, even while the team is out learning, furthering our training knowledge, and making sure we are up to date on current and evolving exercise science.

We’ve already attended lectures on training for tendon and overall joint health, as well as precision training for performance and recovery. And we have two more days to go!
Looking forward to sharing what we learn when we are back in the club next week!

Congratulations to Koko superstar Jan, who over the weekend set another (yes ANOTHER) racing record! Jan is so humble, most of our members may not know that when they are working out next to her, they are in the presence of a multiple world record holder. On Saturday Jan set a new American record in the 1500 Women's 80-84 division at the USATFNE Track & Field Championship, with a time of 7:22:61.

What makes this latest accomplishment all the more impressive, is that not long ago Jan was hobbling into Koko in a walking boot, as she healed from a major injury. She couldn't run, but she made sure she did what she could in the gym, using her 3 healthy limbs to complete regular strength workouts, and keep her body strong. It was undoubtedly a frustrating time for Jan; she was out of the boot, then back into the boot, there was talk of surgery, and of course, no running. But she persevered, and vowed to get back to running as soon as she was able. Anyone who has dealt with injuries probably has figured out that healing doesn't get easier, or faster as we get older...but Jan was determined that this was just going to be a bump in the road in her amazing story. And sure enough, here she is, at 82 years old, breaking another record on the track. WOW.

Thank you Jan, for the continued inspiration, and congrats on getting your name back in the record books once again!

We are excited to congratulate long-time KokoNut Anne, as she has officially become Koko Royalty! Anne earned her purple lanyard with her two millionth Koko Point, becoming the 30th member here in Needham to achieve this impressive feat.

Anne’s journey to Koko Royalty began way back in 2011, and over the last 15 years she has been the picture of consistency, outside of one major bump in the road. In 2013 she was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was scary for us to hear that such a beloved member of our community, and someone so fit and healthy, could be afflicted by cancer; so we can only imagine how scary it was for Anne. She had to take a leave of absence for treatment, but as soon as she was cleared to exercise, Anne was back on the wagon, re-building her strength. Starting with our Breast Cancer Recovery program, Anne persevered, one workout at a time, eventually building her strength back up to her pre-cancer level. Since joining the Koko family back in 2011, Anne has lifted over 11 million pounds; 11,416,966 to be exact. Anne is an avid runner, and does most of her cardio outside, but has still done over 200 miles worth of Koko Cardio in her time with us. She also lights up her Koko-MyZone heart rate tracking app with colorful, multi HR zone workouts both in and out of the club. In fact, she finished 2025 in the #1 spot on the Koko Leaderboard with over 500 MyZone activities tracked, and was #5 in Total Calories Burned with 169,429! We are so grateful to have had Anne with us since the beginning of our time here in Needham. We are grateful for the inspiration she has provided to our team and so many of our members, and her willingness to be supportive of anyone going through what she went through back in 2013. Anne is living proof that while early detection is key, you can build back strength and accomplish goals, even after battling a horrific disease like cancer. CONGRATULATIONS ANNE! Thank you for sticking with us all these years. We love you and are looking forward to your next million Koko Points!!!

We are excited to announce a new Koko Millionaire! Kathy earned her gold lanyard after beginning her journey with us here in Needham back in 2019. She has been a picture of consistency over the years, finding ways to work around injuries, a busy work schedule, and even a pandemic, to get her strength training in. In fact, she has completed 935 strength workouts in her time with us, lifting a total of 8,461,169 pounds! She’s also completed hundreds of Koko Cardio programs, and has burned nearly 200,000 calories. When we think of Kathy, we think STRONG - she’s a regular on the monthly and annual Koko Leaderboards, and at times has taken her strength gain over 100%. All the impressive statistics aside, what we love most about Kathy is her awesome attitude, always showing up with a smile, week after week. If you see Kathy, give her a high-five for earning that gold lanyard. Congratulations Kathy! We love you and thank you for the inspiration. Here’s to the next million! 💪

We wrapped up our Spring Fever Challenge and gave out prizes to all the winners, just in time for summer!

The Koko Spring Fever Challenge is all about consistency, which, of course, is key to results in fitness. We aim for 12 strength workouts in 30 days, with a bonus goal of maintaining a pace score above 98.6 (a fever, get it?).

Anyone who completed both got a prize (some awesome Koko swag) and anyone who at least hit the 12 workout goal was entered into a raffle to win a gift certificate to a local store or restaurant.

We know the real prize for all who complete this challenge is better health and strength built through consistent workouts…but who doesn’t love an umbrella or a cute tote bag just in time for beach season 😉

We had a wonderful time last night, celebrating Susan, a special member of the Koko community, who will be moving on to a new chapter after 48 years in Needham and 16 years with us at Koko.

When Susan started with us back in 2010 she was 65. Now at 81, she is 63% stronger than she was back then! She is an inspiration and a model for how consistent strength training works at any age.

In her time with us, Susan has accomplished just about everything one could hope to accomplish at Koko, completing countless club challenges and becoming a regular on our Club Leaderboard. In fact, she went out with a bang, just this week, reaching 5 Million Koko Points!

She’s also lifted over 16 million pounds in 2,844 strength workouts. She’s burned almost one million calories at Koko, and has competed nearly 4,000 miles worth of Koko Cardio programs.

Even through the inevitable injuries and setbacks that are bound to pop up for anyone who lives an active life, Susan has always found a way to prioritize her exercise and keep making progress.

Susan has been a pillar of our community and a champion for our business. While we will all miss her, we are excited for her next adventure, and know that she will stay active, keep lifting weights, and continue to inspire all those around her.

We’ll miss you Susan! Thank you for the memories and support! Looking forward to planning a Koko Adventure Team hike with you near your new home!

Finally, a beautiful morning for our Wednesday Walks! This trainer led “workout” gets members outside for some fresh air, and lower intensity, steady state cardio. Get outside, exercise, and QT with friends; sounds like a great way to kick off hump day!
