The PonchoMeg Program is NOT your typical weight loss / fitness program - it's something special. My goal with this program is to help people to adopt new lifestyle habits in order to live their best lives possible. With The PonchoMeg Program, I focus not only on weight loss and fitness, but also on health, diet, mental and emotional well being, spirituality, meditation, eco-friendly living, and each students' personal growth. I also put a lot of effort into "Positive Thinking Therapy," expressions of gratitude and charity, and helping others to embrace the gifts of Peace and Love that life has to offer.
The PonchoMeg Program is made up of:
-FREE online education, resources, information, and inspiration (on this page and the Facebook page)
-FREE Access to The PonchoMeg Program Official Amazon Store
-Low Cost and Donation Based Classes in Lansing, MI - incorporating group exercise, discussion, dancing, meditation, and more!
-FREE Spirituality assistance or guidance and low cost officiant services
-Games, demos, recipes, contests, discounts, giveaways, and MORE!
Who Should Get Involved with The PonchoMeg Program?
Anyone who is serious about losing weight, making lifestyle changes, focusing on fitness and health, seeking spiritual or personal growth, and simply living a better life! I provide a safe, loving, environment, both in person and online, where people are all encouraged to move at their own pace. Giving your life higher meaning, embracing health, and reaching enlightenment is NOT a race! Gradually, things will fall into place - and we can do it together!
But why listen to me? Well, I have the skills to pay the bills!

CLASSES AVAILABLE:
If you live in the Lansing area, you can sign up for classes through The PonchoMeg Program. Most classes are set up in Month Long "Sessions" with 2 "meetings" per week (8 total), but there is also an open, donation based class every Friday.
MON. - THURS.
SESSION GROUPS (Mon. / Wed.) - 2 hours
SESSION GROUPS (Tues. / Thurs.) - 2 hours
FRI. OPEN CLASS - BY DONATION - 1 hour
"Session" Level Options:
SESSION LEVEL 1 - $25
Where EVERYONE who is new to The PonchoMeg Program starts, no matter what their fitness level is. Because this is not your average weight loss / fitness program and we are making major life changes, it is very important to embrace The PonchoMeg Program from the beginning. Remember, this is about improving your mindset, your overall well being, your habits, and your life - not just about dropping a few pounds.
SESSION LEVEL 2 - $25
If you complete Session Level 1, you may then move to Session Level 2, which is a bit more intense. With more workouts, variety and diversity in routines, extended meditations, and a larger focus on making the BIG lifestyle changes, Session Level 2 is truly for those people who have committed to changing their lives for the better.
SESSION LEVEL 3 - $20
Session Level 3 of The PonchoMeg Program is maintenance. It is for those who have completed one or more rounds of Session Levels 1 and 2. Level 3 is great for those who have a hard time sticking to things, those who do better with maintaining good health and well-being in groups with support, and of course for those who just continually need new workout challenges, long to learn more about their bodies and the universe, and those who wish to become more enlightened. Session Level 3 is the most advanced level of The PonchoMeg Program.
OPEN CLASS - DONATION BASED - (suggested donation is $5)
The Open Class incorporates Aerobic exercise, resistance training, Pilates, Yoga, Tai Chi, dance, meditation, nutritional information, health and beauty tips, and MORE! It is perfect for anyone who just wants to test the waters of The PonchoMeg Program or needs another fitness class to add variety to their health and fitness routine. It is also great for anyone enrolled in a Session Level class, as it gives them another day of supported group activity during the week.
Saturdays and Sundays I am "on call" for spiritual emergencies (FREE), wedding officiant services ($100), and as a private fitness instructor ($10/hr.)
FAQ:
Q. Have YOU ever had issues with weight?
Me in 2009 - 198 lbs |
Me in 2014! - 130 lbs! |
A. No. You only purchase what you want to purchase. I will say that I believe in the products that I recommend to my clients, so I would advise that you at least consider purchasing a few of the products. However, you CAN benefit and see results from The PonchoMeg Program classes for just the $25 fee.
Q. If I miss one or more of my Session's "meetings," can I still complete a Session Level and move on?
A. No. In order to fully complete a Session Level and move on to the next level, you MUST attend all 8 "meetings" of the current Session Level you are on.
Q. If I come to one or two meetings and then quit, do I get a refund?
A. Unfortunately, I cannot offer refunds at this time. Class size is limited, so I'm looking for commitment. If you pay for classes, but do not complete the classes, you forfeit your money. Sorry!
Q. I'm not good with computers. Can you order things through the Amazon store for me?
A. Yes, I can. You will have an opportunity to place orders with me IN PERSON at every meeting during your Session. (If you are NOT taking classes but still want to order from the store through me instead of online on your own, I am sure we can still work something out...)
Q. Are you really ordained?
A. Yes, twice over! I can offer spiritual assistance and guidance as well as legally marry people in the state of Michigan.
If anyone has any more questions, PLEASE feel free to ask them! I want to help the people of this world to live life to the fullest, to enjoy every moment, to feel and look great, and to reach a higher state of being. I believe we can do it.
Peace and Love to ALL!!!
