Meet Your 2018 Judging Period 3 IsaBody Challenge Finalists!

If you were to only know one thing about Isagenix, it should be the IsaBody Challenge® and the absolutely incredible people and health and wellness journeys it represents. Through each 16-week Challenge, we witness thousands of participants experience outstanding total-body transformations, and our latest Challenge was no exception. We’re extremely proud of everyone who participated!

Judging Period 3 has come to an end, and the IsaBody Finalists have been chosen. Each will receive US$3,000/CA$3,300, free registration and paid expenses for them and a guest to attend Global Celebration 2018, and an all-expenses-paid vacation to Costa Rica for the IsaBody Escape!

Now, without further ado, meet the five amazing individuals who positively CRUSHED their IsaBody Challenge and whose stories left us downright speechless.

Kelly Hanson

Spencer, Iowa

Age: 55

Height: 5’5”

Total Weight Loss: 71 pounds*

Number of Challenges: 4

Kelly’s Isagenix journey began on the eve of her 54th birthday when she vowed that she was going to spend the following year taking her life back, and that’s exactly what did. With the help of the IsaBody Challenge, she left her comfort zone behind and started living the life she deserved. Four Challenges later, she celebrated not only her 55th birthday but also her one-year “Isaversary.” This year, she’s focusing on tackling her bucket list (one thing she’s already checked off? Becoming an IsaBody Finalist!). No longer will she be too overweight or too afraid – with the “Isa power” in her, she’s ready to take on the world!

Pina Merola

Bartlett, Illinois

Age: 22

Height: 5’3”

Total Weight Loss: 40 pounds*

Number of Challenges: 5

After completing five IsaBody Challenges, Pina knows firsthand that you can’t let your mind stop you from what your body can achieve. Starting at the age of 18, Pina was bullied about her weight, and despite pretending like it didn’t faze her, those thoughts followed her for years. Eventually, Pina was convinced to try an exercise class with a friend and walked out with the best feeling in the world. Thanks to her mom, she already had the Isagenix nutrition waiting for her at home, and the rest is history. At 22 years old, Pina feels that Isagenix saved her life, and she’s never looking back.

Jason Hill

Spartanburg, South Carolina

Age: 38

Height: 5’10”

Total Weight Gain: 22 pounds* of lean muscle

Number of Challenges: 4

As a talented competitor in bodybuilding and physique shows, it’s no surprise that fitness has always been a huge part of Jason’s life. But, when his body started to decline while following his normal routine, that was a surprise. Jason was still eating clean and continuing his workouts, but with his body changing drastically, he was mentally a wreck and physically a shell of the person he once was. He started using the Isagenix products to appease his wife and be the support system she needed, but to his surprise (again!), it turned out to be exactly what he needed. Now, Jason has completed four IsaBody Challenges and is feeling like Jason 2.0.

Christine Manukyan

Glendale, California

Age: 37

Height: 5’11”

Total Weight Loss: 33 pounds*

Number of Challenges: 9

As an overweight mom and Doctor of Pharmacy, Christine felt embarrassed of her weight but too guilty to invest in herself. She thought she needed to focus on her kids and her career until one day, she decided enough was enough. She started Isagenix and enrolled in the IsaBody Challenge and reached her goals of becoming fit and strong. But, it wasn’t until her ninth Challenge that these 16 weeks became something even more special – in this Challenge, she finally learned how to embrace and celebrate her imperfections. She even tried endurance running and completed a 15K race with her 7-year-old son! Now, she’s stronger than ever!

Justin Whelan

Eagar, Arizona

Age: 36

Height: 5’11”

Total Weight Loss: 25 pounds*

Number of Challenges: 6

After two and half years with Isagenix and numerous IsaBody Challenges, reality hit hard for Justin when he realized he was doing this for all the wrong reasons. He was so busy trying to be like everyone else that he didn’t realize what he needed was to be himself. Tired of letting people down, Justin vowed to stop making excuses and start working on himself. Now, he knows that his abs will come and go, but leading his team, living his life as a dedicated firefighter, and enjoying his family will last him a lifetime.

*Results not typical. Weight loss, muscle gain, lifestyle, and other results depicted here reflect exceptional individual experiences of Isagenix Customers and should not be construed as typical or average. Results vary with individual effort, body composition, eating patterns, time, exercise, and other factors, such as genetic and physiological makeup. In a two-phase study performed from 2015-2016 by Skidmore College in New York, researchers evaluated use of Isagenix products for weight loss followed by weight maintenance. As part of the weight loss phase, the participants took part in a calorie-controlled regimen of Shake Days and one Cleanse Day per week and lost an average of 24 pounds after 12 weeks. During the weight maintenance phase, the subjects who continued the calorie-30 controlled program using Isagenix products better maintained their weight loss in comparison to those who transitioned to a traditional diet after 52 weeks. View the study results.
