Baker's Choice Highlight: Regine, The Kettlebell Connoisseur!

"KFKF simply inspires everyone to take the leap no matter what other people say -- and in the end, the only permission we need is the one we give ourselves." - Regine

 

"Growing up, I've never been sporty or "fit". I was always sick and my asthma worsened as I entered high school. Unfortunately, it didn't stop there and I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression right after college.

That huge chunk in 2010-2012 was the most challenging and scariest time in my life. My anxiety and depression started manifesting into anorexia and bulimia both at the same time. From not-fit-really-fat growing up to losing weight and dropping down to 135lbs in a few months, I felt like I was going to die anytime. 

Eventually, things started getting better. Broke off away from toxic "friends" and finding genuine people that supported me was the key to getting better. I started going to the gym and met an amazing community who'd help me believe in myself through lifting. Fun fact: I actually started lifting without knowing how much weight was loaded on the bar in my first year! I just did what they told me, and one day, they mentioned that I squatted my bodyweight and deadlifted 2X my bodyweight! 

Since then, opportunities have opened up and I left the advertising life to pursue fitness. Fast forward to today where I proudly helped nourish Crossfit communities, have friends from powerlifting and weightlifting, to now being a Level 3 Kettlebell Sport Coach and a Candidate Master of Sport training under one of the multiple-time world champions in the world! 

I'm truly grateful to find the KFKF community! I was super thrilled when my friend finally got KFKF in the Philippines! KFKF is all about supporting everyone through all the stages they go through in finding their true selves through lifting in the way they fall in love with. The brand simply inspires everyone to take the leap no matter what other people say -- and in the end, the only permission we need is the one we give ourselves. And KFKF supports being unapologetically happy by being kinda fit and kinda fat in the journey to becoming healthier and stronger everyday.

My name is Regine! I'm a Kettlebell Sport coach and athlete fueled by unlimited K-BBQ and boba milk tea. I'm loving the journey to becoming healthier and the best me I can be and I am Kinda Fit Kinda Fat! 💖" - Regine Sulit @kettlebb_reggiebells
