Executive Testimonial

As they said, show me your friends and I will predict your future.

Please meet Alexandria Maruska Global Business Development for a Data and Analytics Software Company

Alexandria Maruska joined Sunny Biggy Fitness at the beginning of the pandemic. Her occupation is building business in new markets globally for a software startup.

The consistent travel across all time zones can be stressful, so when the pandemic hit, she realized that this was her opportunity to take some time to focus on her health and lifestyle. When she joined, I knew she had what it takes to get the job done.

After the first 45 days, with hard work and consistency, she achieved her fitness goal, and she didn't stop there as she also volunteers and serves on @ABoyandHisDream board as the Marketing Director. #aBoyandHisDream

She continues to train and serve, reaching goals that she never thought were possible. I am thrilled about the achievements and growth that she has made, both personally and professionally. She told me that because of the #SunnyBiggyFitness lifestyle, she feels better overall and performs better at work.

It has been a pleasure working with Alexandria. She is not just a friend, but she is family.

Helping Employees Get Back on Track and Performing their Best Through Corporate Wellness

As the pandemic continues, your employees are becoming more sedentary, depressed, anxious, and uncertain of their future. Working from home has been a challenge for most people, and employees are less engaged with their colleagues and likely feel less important.

Several companies have put our corporate wellness programs to the test, such as CDL 1000, Book Cameo, CAP Trust, Alta Roosevelt, and we’ve responded by moving populations no one else can. We deliver a competitive advantage by optimizing the performance of employees through our proven approach.

Sunny Biggy Fitness offers custom virtual and in-person (covid19 compliant) corporate wellness programs such as,

  • Group Training

  • Nutrition and Fitness Consulting

  • 1:1 Personal Training

  • Yoga Services

Sunny Biggy Fitness Helping People Get Back on Track in 2020 Through Fitness

During the 2020 pandemic, Sunny Biggy Fitness offered over 100 free fitness classes to help people manage the stress due to the series of unfortunate events during the 2020 pandemic.

Last year was a really rough year for most people. Sunny Biggy Fitness knows the value of regular exercise and how it helps reduce stress. We executed a plan to create over 100 free fitness opportunities to help people get back on track throughout the 2020 pandemic.

Sunny Biggy Fitness knows the value of regular exercise and how it helps reduce stress. It just works!


Thank you to Sunny Biggy Fitness wellness colleagues, Kay Yasin, for her help with the Saturday Bootcamp sessions and Kathryn Ziegler for her collaboration with fundraising efforts for A BOY AND HIS DREAM.

We definitely made some new friends in 2020. Although many of those connections were virtual, we feel thankful that we were able to come together and work out. Our participants have shared how the free sessions have helped them manage their stressful pandemic situations.

Consistency and dedication are imperative. Transformation happens. Sunny Biggy Fitness will help you.

Valentine's Day in the Windy City Sunny Biggy Fitness Style

It seems like yesterday we were celebrating the New Year, and now in one month is another holiday. The holiday of love, Valentine’s Day. We have a great holiday package for you and your loved one.

Most couples celebrate Valentine’s day dining at a restaurant. However this year, it will be much different. The pandemic has caused the closure of many restaurants in the Windy City and for those remaining, they can only operate outdoors. What was once a common way to celebrate your love, this year, unfortunately, the dining options at a restaurant will be sparse.

We thought it would be fun to offer a healthy gift you can enjoy together. Therefore, we curated a special Valentine’s Day Couples package. This package offers two personal training sessions and one nutrition assessment. While we are still stuck in quarantine and lockdowns, make the most of it and get healthy together. Sunny Biggy Fitness will create two custom workouts that you will enjoy together and a nutrition assessment. Sunny Biggy Fitness will get you on a proper healthy routine.

Here are a few other Valentine’s Day gift ideas. Shop at the Sunny Biggy Fitness store for yoga mats, T-shirts, water bottles, bootcamp subscription, workout videos, and more!

Happy Thanksgiving from Sunny Biggy Fitness!

image0 (1).jpeg

Wishing you all a very safe and happy Thanksgiving holiday!

Thanksgiving is a time to spend with loved ones, a time to be thankful for what we have, and a time to remember those who are struggling. The founder of Sunny Biggy Fitness, Sunny Akhigbe, is also the founder of A Boy and His Dream Foundation.

In his book, A Boy and His Dream, Sunny Akhigbe (pen name Okosun), shares the struggles he endured and how he strived to overcome those early challenges. From hunger to being ostracized by a polygamist family, he experienced severe poverty while growing up. At the same time, his elders imparted important lessons that Sunny Akhigbe (pen name Okosun) took to heart, including the message that he was in charge of his own destiny.

Sunny built A Boy and His Dream 501(c)(3) non-profit to help children in Chicago and in Nigeria, so that they, like him, could learn to be in charge of their own destiny. The foundation supports children through mentorship, scholarships, speaking engagements, and more. All funds raised go directly to the children A Boy and His Dream supports. If you would like to give this holiday season, any donation amount, monthly or one-time is so greatly appreciated.

What will you be doing Post-Thanksgiving? You'll be joining Sunny Biggy Fitness for a Post-Turkey Bootcamp so you can burn off all those crazy calories you consumed at Thanksgiving.

In this Bootcamp, Sunny Akhigbe will take you through a fun and invigorating workout. Join Sunny Biggy Fitness for an exciting time from the comfort and safety of your home.

Transformation doesn’t just happen. A little progress each day adds up to results. Just look at Eric and his progress. He is consistent and works hard every day following his Sunny Biggy Fitness nutrition and fitness program and this is why he gains results.

Consistency is the key to success. You need to work hard to gain results. Sometimes knowing this is simple, however, actually executing it can be the ultimate challenge. No one said this is easy. Making a life change is challenging, especially in the face of this pandemic, and the face of winter when we are forced to stay inside.

What we know is that having someone hold you accountable exponentially increases your chance for success in results and transformation. Sunny Biggy Fitness will hold you accountable. Sunny Biggy Fitness will help you achieve results.

Building a solid nutrition and exercise foundation today will help you get through this pandemic and the winter, so that you can maintain a healthy weight and healthy mind now and in the future.

Sunny Biggy Fitness will design a custom nutrition and fitness program and will hold you accountable so that you have a successful and healthy journey through this holiday season and beyond. Click on the button below to learn more:

Impact of Good Nutrition in Transformation - Healthy Meals

Untitled design (8).png

Why do we eat more in cold weather? The cold weather drops our body temperature and our appetites become more stimulated as a result. And eating generates heat... therefore leading to a rise in body temperature! It's a vicious cycle.

Holidays: With the upcoming holidays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Years, we find ourselves socializing more which leads to more alcohol consumption, consuming comfort foods, and sweets heavily laden with calories.

Primitive Instinct: Long ago when we were hunting and gathering, we would increase our caloric intake as the days got shorter and colder. We tend to seek out food and eat it faster during the sunlight hours. 

It's cold outside: And we're just trying to stay warm! A giant bowl of mashed potatoes and hearty stew would keep us warmer than light salads? 

We just want comfort: Cold days take an emotional toll on all of us in one way or another. We just want to snuggle up at home with a bowl of pasta, a bottle of wine, and binge watch Netflix. 

We're going to eat regardless. What should we be eating then?

Truth is, you're not going to read this email and stop eating comfort foods. So here's a list of some delicious recipes we've compiled that are both comforting and nutritious. 

Ceviche - if you haven’t made ceviche before, you are in for a treat! It is super easy to make and it is packed full of protein. Click here for the recipe.

Lentil Baked Ziti- it's cheesy, it's protein packed with lentils, and you can make this vegetarian or vegan. Click here for the recipe.

Sweet Potato Turkey Chili- it's hot, it's filling, and it's perfect for a blustery cold day. Click here for the recipe.

Healthy Slow Cooker Chicken Tikka Masala- it's easy (slow cooker!), it's delicious, it's nutritious, and it hits the comfort food nail on the head. Click here for the recipe.

Lemon Garlic Salmon- salmon is one of the most simple to prepare. This simple lemon garlic recipe is packed with flavor and nutrients! Click here for the recipe.

Vegan Hot Chocolate- who doesn't love hot cocoa on a cold day? Make it yourself with some special healing powers of turmeric to keep you healthy! Click here for the recipe.
