April 2011 This is an email I just received 10/25/10 and wanted to share with you:" Hi Kath, just a quick
thought that just popped into my head, as if you don't get enough emails! Anyway...I'm sitting here thinking how much
I have despised exercise all of my life, never liking to sweat and now, thanks to YOU, I don't mind it at all. In fact,
I like the I feel when the hour is over. I love the feeling when my body hurts, it's a good feeling. Your classes
are NEVER the same, and somehow you manage to throw in a few different exercises that just changes up the class so the routine
doesn't become boring. YOU bring a high spirit to the class that's really great and I think it's felt by one and all
that walk through your studio door...SO...just wanted to acknowlege you for making this difference for me and creating this
comfortable space that surrounds one and all in your studio...Hats off!! And...I can finally feel a difference in my body,
as it is getting more toned...THANK YOU!" ~ Sue
 May 2011 There are no words to describe how wonderful I feel since I’ve met Kathy Henkel. Originally I started
with her at New Milford’s Adult Education program taking Belly Dance classes once a week. Her enthusiasm and explanation of each movement is exceptional. When Kathy mentioned she was opening
her on place, to say the least, I was thrilled. The atmosphere is fabulous. Every class is challenging and it’s fun
to sweat with everyone else. The only class I have not tried is kick boxing. I love each moment of class..on average I am
there 7-8 hours a week…learning, laughing, and losing weight!! I am truly Kathy’s biggest fan and I will be here for many years to come. Barbara Roper June 2011 Last spring my friends gave me a gift certificate to Kathy's Boot camp for my birthday. I started
going to Kathy's, Boot camp once a week and I was really out of shape. After the first night I was totally humbled. I was
humiliated because I could not keep up and I was so very sore the next few days after that class. I dreaded going back the
next week and if it wasn't for the fact that it was a gift I wouldn't have. Slowly over the next few weeks I started to really enjoy the class and found that I was able to do more and
more. Kathy was so motivating and never ever called attention to what I was unable to do. She just kept pushing me on. I absolutely loved the positive energy in her style and they way she inspired
me to work harder. I was amazed that she would be working right along side of us and not just barking out instructions. I was slowly starting to change. I began to make more time for myself, I
added more classes, dropped some weight, built muscle, and gained self confidence. I am more fit and feel strong. I have made
some wonderful new friends at the studio who are also very supportive and a ton of fun to be with. Kathy has made me realize that it's not so much what I can't do, but what I CAN do...and I AM doing
it! Thank you Kathy for all of your help and encouragement this past year. You are truly one amazing women and I am so thankful
to have been given the chance to meet you. Looking back to the
last year, the gift from my friends that I once dreaded was actually the best thing that could have happened to me. Marilyn
June 2011 I thought I was in fairly good shape and then I went to my first Boot Camp with Kathy! I could not complete
the class.
That was just about a year ago. Since then I have taken just about every class Kathy offers. I feel better
then I have in years.
My body is toner and I think I look better too....:) Kathy is a great motivator, always positive
and encouraging and she makes the classes fun.
Thanks for everything, Maura.........
I started working out at Kathy Henkel Fitness in September
2010. I was hoping to lose some weight and inches. Well, not only did I lose inches, weight, and transform my body……
I found this inner strength that I didn’t know I had. I realized it wasn’t just me working out , but I was surrounded
by such wonderful SUPPORTIVE women!! I look around the
room as we are working out and think…we are all doing this together….we all have a goal we are striving for.
AND THAT ENCOURAGEMENT is just what I needed and truly enjoy. It’s something I personally can not find in a “normal
“ gym. Kathy Henkel Fitness is the environment I
didn’t realize I was searching for, and the inner happiness I have found is something MORE than I ever expected. Wendy Hurlbert
"I started
strike last spring and really enjoyed trying a new (to me) way to exercise. I felt like I was burning calories and getting
out lots of stress! Since July I have been going 2-3 times per week. I have lost about 8 pounds without doing much to change
my diet. The shape of my body has also changed. Besides the health benefits I really look forward to strike because it is
fun.The music really gets you going and Kathy is very encouraging. It always seems she knows when I need her to shout
"you can do it"!

"I have been taking
the STRIKE boxing class with Kathy Henkel for over a year now, but have been working out with Kathy for over ten years.
STRIKE is absolutely the best overall workout I have ever had. It is high energy, works your entire body and let's
you release lots of stress. Kathy is a great instructor who welcomes everyone into her class and keeps you motivated
and coming back. Don't be intimidated by this class....it is a lot of hard work but you can do it.
You will love the results !!"

"After having two children,
my body simply wasn't what it used to be. Having always been an athlete, it was difficult for me to accept the fact that I
was out of shape. I approached Kathy about personal training because I knew she was the best. Kathy was very receptive to
helping me; she immediately set up a plan for me which included weight lifting, strike kickboxing and other cardio workouts.
I fell in love with the Strike class immediately. It made me feel strong. It changed how I viewed my body. However, it was
not the classes or the personal training that helped me as much as it was Kathy's encouragement. Absolutely Kathy is a trained
professional who is knowledgeable in what she does; but, she's more than that. Kathy believes in the people that take her
classes. She encouraged me to push when I didn't think I had anything left in me. She introduced me to classes that not only
helped change my body, but changed my spirit. When I approached Kathy about classes and training, I was expecting (and got)
someone who would push me. What I am experiencing is that and so much more. I received the gift of friendship, and in the
process a healthy lifestyle and a much healthier sense of self-esteem. There is no one better than Kathy Henkel."

"I love STRIKE kickboxing - the energy in that
class is amazing and I work much harder than I would at ordinary exercise. My legs are stronger and I have much
more endurance that I used to have. When does the next session start up? :)"
Chris Smith
"WOW with Kathy is fun and keeps me committed to a regular
program. Doing weights alone at home becomes work and I find
it's easy for me to make deals with myself and put it off.
In addition, Kathy is creative and always encourages me to
do just a little bit more."
Louise Meyer
"The thing that always amazes me about
Kathy is her ability to continually come up with new ways to exercise, either by dreaming up new themed classes, or by continually
finding new and different ways for us to work our bodies. They are all fun, effective and safe. In the WOW classes, Kathy
utilizes different workout equipment at each session, and we never know what section of the gym she will lead us to. We get
to try everything that is appropriate for us. Her ideas and creativity are boundless, and no two sessions are ever alike.
This prevents boredom and exercise burnout, and we are easily motivated to come back for more. That is why I have stuck with
Kathy over several years, and plan to continue to do so." Roberta Beech
