About KnowSweat Workouts KnowSweat Workouts was incorporated in the summer of 2004, putting a legal "stamp" on what was already a successful group fitness and personal training business. With years of experience teaching cardio kickboxing fitness classes and one on one personal training, we at KnowSweat were accustomed to awesome results with clients losing weight and re-shaping their bodies. In 2005, KnowSweat became ACE (American Council on Exercise) Faculty, putting us in a position to award Continuing Education Credits (CEC's) to ACE certified professionals wishing to maintain their ACE credentials. We trained additional instructors to teach our unique and demanding classes, began offering self-defense seminars, and even found ourselves teaching fitness classes as guest instructors in a number of out-of-state gyms where our reputation had preceded us. Steadily, KnowSweat was becoming the company that we had envisioned. With fitness classes full and word of mouth being our best advertising, we found KnowSweat had actually become a victim of its own success. As our name "KnowSweat" suggests, we'd gained a reputation for conducting brutal and somewhat intimidating workouts -- workouts that attracted the die hard, in-shape client. "I need to be in a lot better shape before I try your KnowSweat class."WHAT??!! This statement, heard on a regular basis, made us realize we needed to address what we considered a huge problem. Our classes were full of confident, self-motivated, fit clients. Most of our personal training clients, however, were just starting out and were working on their weight, their fitness, and their self-esteem. We wanted to bridge the gap between these two groups, so we created our KickStart Live Smart Program. KickStart is a 10 week entry level program promoting weight loss motivation and exercise education -- the two main ingredients essential for losing weight and keeping it off. In addition to learning about different types of exercise, all KickStart participants use KnowSweat's very own patented weight loss game to ensure adherence and make losing weight fun. Teams are limited to 10 people and groups limited to 3 teams.KickStart focuses on losing the first 20 pounds and on adopting the lifestyle changes of fit, healthy individuals. KickStart is the bridge between the person whose lifestyle habits make them fit, and the person who wants that lifestyle, but needs the confidence to reach for it. There is no doubt that the weight loss and fitness industry has and will continue to evolve. KnowSweat expects to stay in step with a changing industry. Soon, we will be offering competitive karate classes to train international sport karate competitors. We plan to make Play It Forward, our weight loss game, available nationwide, and expect additional KickStart Live Smart centers to open in the near future. Live It, Become It, our company motto, has taken on new meaning for KnowSweat Workouts!
