As a sports medicine physician, one of the most difficult problems that I’ve had to deal with is weight loss. Obesity is truly an epidemic in this country leading to many other health problems, including hypertension, diabetes and low back pain. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to recommend weight loss to patients. Jaime’s program is truly the finest weight management program that I have ever recommended.
It is precise, accurate and extremely effective. The program uses sound scientific principles to help people lose weight. I can recommend this program to any patient without reservation and know that they will be treated with kindness, respect and confidentiality. The results will speak for themselves.

For years I said “I would start my diet on Monday!” Well Monday never came and I gained over 100 pounds! Starting at 367 in just 7 weeks I have lost 35 pounds with Jaime’s Plan. I get to eat six (6) meals a day, I am never hungry and I am still losing an average of 5 pounds a week. My first goal was 60 pounds, but now I have my eye on 117 pounds which will take me back to my high school years when I played football (don’t tell anyone that was over 35 years ago). I know I will be healthier. My glucose has dropped over 120 points and my blood pressure is a calm 120/70! Thanks Jaime for helping me see my grandkids grow up.

Thanks to Jaime Brenkus, I have lost 29 pounds in the past 6 weeks. More importantly, my Doctor was astonished at the difference in my numbers. My cholesterol went from 246 to 172. My LDL went from 179 down to 119, my HDL went up three notches from 32 to 35. The most dramatic change was my Triglycerides –going from 193 down to 51.

Hi Jaime, thanks for another excellent workout! I now feel like a hi efficiency furnace which will continue to burn! I really appreciate all your lifestyle tips, all so realistic and doable. I got off track the past 2 days with my food choices. I am resetting today and your advice is spot on! Looking forward to your next workout!

I love your workouts- fast and focused and great for getting up a sweat. Almost more important are your wise words of wisdom… I am copying out all of these to post in my kitchen to remind me… Thank you so much for the spot on nutritional advice- I really appreciate your words, and really need to follow your advice.

That was a great workout. I am motivated to put MORE effort into the workouts, and guess what? Now I am sweating from head to toe from this workout! Thanks for being consistent, and for the tips, it is sooo much help. I am down 5.8 pounds, and I don’t want to plateau or lose momentum, so I am really really doing the workouts and watching that plate – your tips help so much as reminders. Have a wonderful day!

Obesity in America has reached epidemic proportions, afflicting one third of adults and one fourth of children. In addition to the obvious emotional and psychological trauma it inflicts, obesity can lead to a myriad of life-threatening conditions, including diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, sleep disorders, osteoarthritis, and certain types of cancer. However, the good news is that obesity is preventable in 99+ % of people. The Slim & Fit weight loss system and Jaime’s trademarked Fusion workout offers my patients the most advanced personal weight loss system in America. Based on proven food science and simple body physics, Slim & Fit works every time.

I cannot recommend Jaime enough to anyone who has ever had a dream of what they CAN be. The encouragement and education I have received from Jaime and his staff are worth their weight in gold! With my incredible trainer Andrea, I have changed my body from being frumpy & middle-aged, to being strong & lean. Andrea doesn’t look at this as just a job, she takes a personal interest in your success! I look forward to each & every workout I have, and was amazed at the changes in my body at the age of 56! I’ve lost weight on ALL kinds of programs before, but NOTHING compares to building muscle in your body. It’s actually fun to go clothes shopping now, and not a worry when you are invited to a cookout on a hot summer’s day to show up in shorts. My only regret is I wish I would have done it 10 years ago! Run, don’t walk to Jaime’s plan if you are tired of sitting and dreaming about a fit life, and really want to live that life.

Jaime Brenkus was very, very instrumental in helping me “recover” my body. I am 76 years old and have always been very athletically active. I have been rowing on an indoor Concept II machine for the last 15 years. 2 1/2 years ago I tore my hamstrings while rowing (due to not properly stretching before and after rowing). As a result I could not row or exercise for 5 months and my muscles atrophied to the point that I could not even lift a half gallon of milk. I went to the Cleveland Clinic and was not happy with their rehab program. Finally I consulted with Jaime and showed him a picture of when my body was really “cut”. I told Jaime that was how I wanted to look again. Thanks to God and to Jaime’s fantastic rehab program I am very happy to say “My body’s back".

What They Are Saying About The 8-Minute Workout Challenge!
I really want to express how much I like Jaime’s videos. I’ve been involved in sports, majored in PE in college, broke a NCAA track record, martial arts 5 time world champion , so I’ve seen a lot of fitness programs etc. Jaime’s videos are the most fun, motivating, easy to follow and the exercise works. The exercises are simple and effective and the sequence of these really work. I haven’t found anything better!!

I am an Italian fan of yours! I have been doing your 8-minute abs work out for years and it’s my favorite! I am in lockdown like everybody else (almost) in the world and I am using my time working out everyday!
Thank you for all the inspiration you give to people with your workouts! I appreciate immensely!

Last June I came across an ad for a free consult with Personal Trainer, Jaime Brenkus. Well that free consult started my journey to a new and much healthier me! I’ve lost 40 pounds, eat clean /healthy foods and continue to workout. I have much more energy, and this transformation has made me a much happier person. I never thought I could feel like this once I entered my 50’s !!! I never could have done this without the help and encouragement from Jaime.

I did this workout with you on recording at home just now. The stretch in my lower back was wonderful when doing the squats while touching the floor. You are very inspirational and genuine and compassionate and you bring back memories of Jack LaLanne (before your time!) I enjoyed your workout very much. Thank you Coach Jaime! I just read your bio and I am retracting what I said about Jack LaLanne! You are well aware of who he is! I see that you wrote a book with his 98 year old wife Elaine!

Thanks! I want to take this opportunity on my 75th birthday to tell you how much you have changed my life in the last 5 months. I walked my dog every morning for eight years, and when he passed, I found myself getting lazier and lazier without those eyes looking up at me saying it was time to get going. .... though I couldn’t deny that I did have 8 minutes every day and decided I could try it without making a huge commitment. The first couple of days I did almost die in my own sweat but two weeks in to following the program, I was feeling pretty proud of myself. And then came a month and then another month and the difference in the way I feel physically and the effect on my outlook is incredible. My routine today is 30 min M-F, and 20 min Sat & Sun. as you say, some days it’s not easy but I am living proof it’s worth it. So thank you Jaime Brenkus for the birthday wish and thank you even more for the gift of health.

I am, without a doubt, a major success story. I used to weigh 317 pounds. Thankfully, just when I thought I had reached the end of my rope, Jaime Brenkus came into my life. I went on his program and within the first month, I lost 20 pounds. Now, a little over a year later, I have lost an amazing 158 pounds. I have gone from a dress size 28 to 16. If I can do it, I know you can too…I highly recommend doing the warm up and warm down sections in addition to the daily workout.
I am 69 and try to do some type of exercise 5-6 days a week. Two days a week I do line dancing for an hour each day. I do the treadmill at the gym 2 days a week for 30 minutes each day. What was missing was the toning exercises. I don’t like to use the machines at the gym. ... I have had this 2 months and already I see toning in my arms and abs. Something I did not expect is I am having less pain in my knees.
I thought I was going to have to stop dancing because of the pain in my knees even with knee braces. With 11 different sessions and the short time I am never bored. The man does give attention to form and when appropriate gives an alternative to the movement he is doing.

Good evening Jaime, I already bought your 28 day challenge …I thought it would be like your 15 minute daily definition series. I still use that from 25 years ago.
Alyson
When I bootcamped for basic training I did this every day for a year. I was able to do laundry on my abs. highly recommend everyone doing it, just 8 minutes of hard work a day. Shoutout to Jaime!
