“Peter delivered what was by far the best one-hour presentation that our audience has ever seen. Full of energy, entertainment and mind-altering knowledge, he helped set the stage for all of us to rethink our daily habits. His session may honestly be the best I’ve ever attended, the perfect blend of knowledge and showmanship! He conducted a health and wellness session during our Mazda USA’s Northeast Region 2023 Field Meeting. Peter’s presentation was informative, enlightening, and entertaining.

Peter has 3 attributes that make him an excellent speaker:
1. He can relate to the audience immediately because he's sincere and extremely passionate about what he does.
2. I've seen him speak and also have seen the response of the audience....they love what he says and can't stop asking questions at the end of his talk.
3. He has a very unique message that speaks from not only his own experience but gets results for people without gimmicks or fads...he's the real deal!

“I lost 60 pounds doing Peter’s program, Your Healthiest Life. I hated how I looked in a video and decided to join his program. I’m so glad I did. Losing the 60 pounds was simple, but not easy. The answers were right in front of my face, but I couldn’t see them. I needed Peter’s program to help me. I recommend his program to anyone that wants to lose weight and change their life.”

Peter K introduced me to a world of fitness that was unknown to me. I use 5 Minutes to Fitness+ and his coaching and the results are amazing. I dropped 2 pant sizes and people comment on my muscle tone all the time and they cannot believe I don’t lift weights. I have never felt better and just completed my second triathlon! I used to suffer from knee and back pain and now I’m pain free. I have more energy than ever and have much more control of my health! I look forward to working out and find it exciting! I can honestly say that I am in the best shape and health of my life. Thanks Peter!
Jane, 47
Hi, Peter, 11 months ago my company purchased the “5 Minutes to Fitness +” kit for each employee in my department. I tried it once and was hooked. Since then, I have used it every day, signed up for your Health Coaching, and the results show! I have lost 70 pounds, 7 inches on my waist- from a size 14 to size 0, dropped 7 BMI points, and my chronic back pain is practically non-existent. The best part is that I have tons more energy and now really enjoy running around with my two small children; I can finally keep up with them! I am running my first 1/2 marathon in October. Thank you!

For 15 years I have struggled with my weigth until a friend of mine introduced me to Peter K’s “5 Minutes to Fitness+” 4 months ago. I have lost 40 pounds so far and 7 inches on my waist! I now weigh the same weight as i did 20 years ago, look good and most importantly feel great, I am off the blood pressure medication i was forced to take for the last 5 years!! The best part of the program for me is that I travel and stay in hotels half the days in a month, I wake up, do the workout in my hotel room, eat great, and go on my way. I recommend Peter K and his program to anyone seriously trying to loose weight and feel better. (I now attach my Peter K bands to my $5000 arc trainer.)

2 months ago I felt terrible. Today I feel like I’m in the best shape of my life and I just did 21 pull-ups. I haven’t felt this strong and healthy in over 10 years. I owe it to Peter K’s 5 Minutes to Fitness+. Thank you Peter

I love doing my “5 Minutes to Fitness+” workout! It’s so fast, easy and effective and I love the way I look and feel. I have toned up my body and am in the best shape I have been in a very long time! Thank you Peter
Kathy, 44
I am 38 year old small business owner with no time or energy to devote to fitness, or so I thought. Peter’s 5 Minutes to Fitness+ and coaching program showed me how to get incredible results in minutes a day and complete my first triathlon as well as helping me attain success in all aspects of my life, including stress management, and just feeling good about myself. In the process I lost 20 pounds, a weight I have not seen in 20 years and more importantly I gained back my inner athlete, my competitive edge and the desire to live better!
Tom, 38
Using Peter K’s “5 Minutes to Fitness+” Program has been fast and
easy. Right away, I began to notice I was having an easier time doing squats and kicks at the gym. I gained a new awareness of my core muscles and could feel them working like I never have before. Co-workers noticed I was losing weight and I went down a pant size before I knew it! I feel stronger and better than ever! This will be a program I will be using for a very long time because it’s benefits are so great.
Alison, 30
I gained 7 pounds of lean muscle in just a few months by using 5 Minutes to Fitness+ and Peter K’s coaching program. I was looking for a workout that I could fit into my busy work schedule. I no longer have joint pain from using heavy weights, and my energy level has increased. A full body workout in 20 minutes may sound too good to be true, but believe me, it works.
Keith, 28
Dear Peter,
I’m feeling absolutely terrific since starting your 5 minutes to fitness regimen nearly six weeks ago! This routine was EXACTLY what I needed to restore my energy and tighten and tone my 42-year old body. Best of all, it fits perfectly within my busy day, allowing me to carpool kids and still get to work at 9:00 am. The workout is so simple and easy to follow; I don’t have to waste my time with useless choreography, complicated steps, and most importantly, a gym membership. Thank you for finally designing a fitness program for busy people like me who value health and feeling good!
Tina Powell, 42
I’m a 65 yr old woman who has tried unsuccesfully to exercise until I started Peter K’s ”5 Minutes to Fitness+” program. It’s great and has kept me motivated to exercise every day, even on vacation. I went down from size 18 to size 14 so far and have developed muscles where I thought it was too late for me. I’m happy to wear sleeveless tops again! Thanks Peter for your program and patience with me.
Esther, 65
I am a 22 year old college student who has lost over 20 pounds with “5 Minutes to Fitness+”. Peter and his program have me how to ENJOY exercising, feel more confident, look better, and most importantly, be happy with myself. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to be fit, lose fat, and change the way they view exercise and diet. As Peter says “Have Fun! Have a great attitude. Enjoy the results.” because you certainly will.
Seth, 22
Thanks Peter. Because of your coaching and 5 Minutes to Fitness+ program I am now down 30lbs! I feel so much better. Even my knees don’t bother me as much! I have some more to go, but I feel confident that I can do it and a lot of it is because of you and the confidence you gave me in myself. I can never thank you enough! You are a great person!

Dear Peter, Thank you for your coaching and 5 Minutes to Fitness+ program. I have lost 40 pounds and 3 waist sizes! I especially love that I can do your workout anywhere and without aggravating my painful hip condition. I tell everyone you’re my trifecta coach (physical therapist, nutritionist and mind/body expert). I love the fact that I’m in control of my health. Thank you!!!!
Elana, 36
I am a 70 year old female and would like to thank you for your “5 Minutes to Fitness+” program! I was sure this would be something else I wouldn’t stick with, however, to your benefit, this wasn’t true for me. I have been doing your program since I heard you speak 7 months ago and I am a healthier, better person and your program will keep me going until I decide to retire. The program keeps my mind active and because of the program I believe I will be a better, healthier person.”
Mary, 70
“Since starting Peter ‘s Health Coaching and using 5 Minutes to Fitness+ program, I have lost over 20 lbs, I am more energetic, and I am much more focused. His “5 Minutes to Fitness” is tremendously convenient especially for the crazy hours my job requires. I highly recommend Peter K’s fitness program to everyone who wants to finally see results after failing at other attempts to lose weight.”
Domenick, 35
My husband Howard is using your 5 Minutes to Fitness+ program and is down to a Size 38 pant, from a 42. This is just the right kind of no-impact exercise that someone with his heart condition needed. At age 70, he is in better physical condition now than he was when he was 38. I would gladly recommend your program to ANYONE who will listen to me. Your routine can be followed by anyone of any age, and any fitness level. I say, and not lightly, that you inspired me to take control of my life again, and for that I will be forever grateful.
Gratefully,
Cheryl
Peter K helped me change my life. It sounds simple but I really believed in what he was coaching me to do, and have made what I believe to be lifelong changes to my eating and exercise plan. I lost over 30 lbs and am ready for my first triathlon. Give Peter K. a call if you are serious about improving your health and changing your life.
Dan, 34
I love my 5 Minutes to Fitness+. It’s a quick and fun way to workout. I do it before the kids get up for school. Everyone asks me what I’m doing. My arms look great and I feel great. I lost weight and I’m not even trying. My mother, sister, aunt and 6 friends have all purchased the 5 Minutes to Fitness+ as well. Thank you!
Erin, 36
Thank you Peter K. Your “5 Minutes to Fitness+” program has helped me strengthen my back, arms and legs. I have muscles that I never had before and its so easy!
Lucy, 68
Hello Peter,
I am happy to say I am sticking with the program; normally I fit in every other day for 15-20 minutes sometime during my day. I love the workout- it is super easy and feel really great after my work out – I will report back with you once I’ve met my 3 month mark to measure my waistline. (now in a size 10 – would like to be back into my size 8′s comfortably).]
Michelle, 37
I am now walking up to 4 miles a day and have lost about 8 pounds since we were at Camp Allen. I love using the bands and am complimenting them with some therabands that I have from my orthopedist for my rotator cuffs. No pain meds at all for them. All in all, you inspired me to get moving and for that I am very grateful.
Parke, 62
I have lost 3 lbs, a few inches, blood pressure seems to be less erratic and in a better range, and generally feeling good or is that, dare I say, the “toned feeling”. Next week I will start the 10 second hold with the bands workout. The music tip and being positive while doing my workout today made a difference. Thanks!
Becky, 60
I’ve lost 6 pounds using “5 Minutes to Fitness+, and my wife Virginia lost 11 pounds so far. We do your program daily!! Thanks!!
Paul, 46
Dear Peter,
Thank you for your 5 Minutes to Fitness+, it has really made a positive difference in my fitness in the last month. I love the motivation of using the DVD, it is like a jump start each day. My biggest success: Doing twenty push-ups everyone morning and seeing how great my arms look! In addition, lately I was slow to get moving in the morning, but surprisingly after my ten minute workout, I am wide awake and I get ready for work faster, so the total time is the same as before. Even if I am running behind I can do the five minute workout, so no excuses.
Debra
Peter,
I was at the Episcopal Church Medical Trust conference earlier this month and you inspired me to take control of my life! I have made some changes that are really helping. Since I’ve been back from the conference, my cholesterol has dropped 25 points, to 174, and I am walking more and feeling better. I have also inspired the people I work with! Thanks so much for helping me see my vision, and helping me to see what I want for my life! Blessings to you and your family,
Tammy
Your 5 Minutes to Fitness+ program is Excellent! The combinations were very well put together and I do not feel like I need to do much more than what you outlined. My wife Sue is working today and doing this at home was a much better option than carting off the kids to the gym or run on the treadmill at home or jump rope. My 8 year old son Karl did 2 sets of the advanced with me and enjoyed it as well. The idea for using two bands with a partner is a good idea as well. Great job and I will look to purchase a few sets for friends’ birthdays coming up soon.
Karl, 38
Peter,
I really enjoyed your presentation and discussion last night at Erin’s! I especially appreciated and related to your view on attitude being everything, in fitness and athletics, as well as all aspects of life! I share that view and do my best each day to approach each and every activity with a “can do” positive attitude in all that I do! I did your work out this morning and loved it! I’m looking forward to doing it every day and enjoying the benefits!
Best regards,
Gary
3 years since we first met and I still maintain a food journal M-F. 3 years ago I was around 240 with a size 40 waist. Today I’m 220 with a 36 waist and no chance of ballooning up I’ve limited my daily calories and my alcohol intake, gave up caffeine, don’t eat as much sugar or dairy and my weight is manageable and I don’t binge as much. Maybe you can use me for a testimonial!
Tom, 33
Dear Peter,
Your 5 Minutes to Fitness has given me my life back! Thought you should know, I have returned to coaching Little League and swinging a golf club again. I can move with confidence, no longer living in fear of throwing out my back. 5 Minutes to Fitness is now a permanent part of my life. Thank you!
Frank, 48
Dear Peter,
I am moving to NH this week, so this is a good-bye. Your coaching for me and my son burke a few years ago was very valuable, and I’m now in the best shape of my life (at age 60!). Burke moved to Chicago in November, and also is training regularly, in fact did the Chicago Tri in August, along with a few local du’s with me here.
Continued good luck with your career.
Be well!
Frank, 70
Peter - Thanks for your coaching and 5 Minutes to Fitness+ program. Thought I’d tell you I ran a 5k and also did an Olympic-distance triathlon here in Chicago back in August, and am signed up for a sprint in 2 weeks in Galena IL. Weighing around 208 these days, thanks for your coaching and giving me the tri bug!
