Monique Fluker is more than just a Group Fitness Trainer, Certified Life Coach and Professional Speaker.  She is known for being a DRIVEN MOTIVATOR by assisting groups and organizations with their wellness goals.  Her passion in helping people with their weight loss goals started with her own struggle of losing weight.

 

​

 

Monique Fluker's life changed on September 17, 2010, when her mother informed her that her kidneys were functioning at only 14 percent and needed a kidney to survive.  She immediately volunteered to be tested to see if she was a match. She wanted to give back the gift of life her mother gave her.

 

However, there were a few obstacles for Monique to overcome. The first obstacle was distance.  Monique’s mother lived in Miami, Florida and she resided in an Atlanta suburb. In November 2010, she traveled to Miami for testing where she encountered another obstacle. Weighing in at 235 pounds, doctors told her that she must lose 20 pounds before she would be allowed to donate her kidney- and she had just over a month to make it happen.

 

Monique went back home determined to lose 20 pounds in the short time frame to save her mother's life. It was an extremely difficult feat during both the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, but every day she walked, ran, and worked out in the cold and rain determined to lose those 20 pounds.

 

Doctors and nurses were astonished when, 38 days later, on December 27, Monique returned 21 pounds lighter.

 

On March 3, 2011 Monique underwent a laparoscopic surgery at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, FL to remove her kidney to donate to her mother.    Both Monique and her mother are doing great and have received invitations to provide their testimonies as a living kidney donor and recipient.  Since the surgery Monique has lost a total of 45 pounds and has kept the weight off.

 

Monique didn’t want to just stop with helping her mother.  She wanted to help others.  Monique has gone further by not only sharing her story, but also helping individuals to be aware of healthy food choices available and simple things to do to be active.  Her drive to help others succeed and be proactive about their health inspired Monique to start her own company MoFluker, LLC. Initially, she started out with providing personal training and life coaching to individuals that were looking for one-on-one services. Then she remembered how hard it was to lose weight when she worked out alone and saw the value in working out in group settings.  Now Monique brings her group fitness programs to small personal groups, organizations and corporations. She has created and implemented workouts and lunch & learn sessions in the workplace that has been beneficial to participants. With the proven results of her methods, Monique was featured in a WellStar Hospital video- Corporate Wellness in the Work Place Works.

 

Monique is a graduate of Howard University with a BA degree in Human Communication Studies.  She is Co-Founder, Vice President and lead of the youth division (Winning Teens) of BORN II WIN, an Empowerment Speaking Company based out of Atlanta, GA.
