Paul Baker, co-owner of Koko FitClub of Baton Rouge, Houma and Thibodaux, is a former Hollywood celebrity trainer who received certification through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. He has over 20 years experience as a gymnast and is co-owner of FitLife Media.

At Koko FitClub members never have to figure out what to do, because of breakthrough technology called Smartraining. Personal demographics and goals are logged into a jump drive called a Koko key. Members plug into a full color touch screen monitor that swivels and rotates around the Smartrainer giving instruction and keeping score of performance. It’s like hiring a personal trainer without having to hire a personal trainer.

This month’s Be Fit Workout features exercises to work your core. Although these exercises are being demonstrated on the machines at Koko FitClub, they can also be performed on the equipment at most gyms using a rope attachment or at home using a resistance band. Ask the trainer at your gym for assistance in modifying these moves to fit their equipment.
