BodyTemple Boot Camp - Testimonials

Kieba, I consider you to be the most friendly, considerate and generous adventure guide and inspirational personal fitness coach on the Big Island of Hawaii!

Thank you for showing me the real Hawaii, by guiding me and encouraging me to explore the jungles and farms dripping with exotic tropical fruits. Thank you for showing me the snorkeling spots, organic farms & gardens, farmers markets, retreats, and local homes. You seem to be friends with every person we encountered on the island!

I also am so grateful for staying on site in your affordable cute cozy bungalow with rather outdoor shower and singing frogs. I loved working out outside in the warm December weather in your Jungle Gym amidst the native trees and wildlife! You enthusiastically yet gently getting me into better shape than ever, despite me being a rather lazy, client on vacation.

I think you should write an un-cook book for raw vegans. The daily concoctions you created for me we tantalizing, highly satisfying and novel. I will spread the word about your unique dried tropical fruit wraps, skins, crackers and trail mixes... including those freshly-harvested-by-you cacao, noni, mulberry, mango, coconut,papaya, flowers, jackfruit, durian, banana, Raw Honey and MORE... How can I order more?

Looking forward to joining your workouts at the Raw Spirit Festival in Sedona, Arizona October 12th - 14th, 2007. If there is any vacancy remaining, I would love to book again for next year.

Kieba...I just wanted to let you know how fabulous all of the fruit leathers tasted. I loved all of your creative combinations and I was very impressed by the variety you sent. I know it takes a long time, and a lot of effort to make these. I think my favorite was the banana, coconut, mac nut...or anything with cacao...hmmm the wildflowers with berries and raw peanuts were pretty fabulous too. I loved them all! I look forward to ordering from you again.

Thanks again... Aloha, Mary Beth

"I love what you are doing and how you are doing it. The spirit you are sharing with people is a wonderful gift. You are my inspiration in many ways for I too seek to serve and create in similar aspects. People need places to go that guide them to be "practically" connected to spirit and to life. To get physically, mentally, and Spiritually Strong. You know what I mean?"

Thank you for being so caring and motivating! What a wonderful experience I had playing in the jungle, learning about nutrition and working out with you in the morning! Your raw meals were always a pleasure and I always looked forward to your next yummy and beautiful dish! I feel lighter and have a much healthier approach to life. I am motivated and energized!
THANK YOU, I am looking forward to my next trip to the Big Island to work with you again

Thank you for teaching me the healthy & most effective way to lose body fat and restore my strength and high energy level.

With your guidance & expertise, I lost 20 pounds in 30 days, and I never felt hungry, in fact I often felt guilty eating your delicious chocolate & avocado puddings.

The daily workouts in your jungle gym were challenging yet you managed to make them fun and still very effective.

I have now learned different exercise programs which I can maintain at home.

Throughout my entire adult life, I've tried many different approaches to get my figure back. Typically I deprived myself to lose weight, and then quickly be disappointed when all the weight I lost returned plus many extra pounds.

I am Grateful,

P.S. I admire you Keiba, you are a perfect living example of "The Secret".

"I can't thank you enough, Kieba, for the priceless role you have played in my transformation. This boot camp is better described as an amazing adventure through every aspect of life. You exceeded all my expectations, and I've found a friend for life. I only hope I can share your spirit with all those I encounter. I plan on annual trips in the future. The commemorative tattoo was a perfect ending to a life changing experience."

"Kieba
Where do I start?
It's been an amazing adventure over the past 3 weeks.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and achieved all of my short term goals I set when I first arrived.
Adventures, stress reduction, better eating, weight loss, AND Fun. This was the perfect time and the Perfect place.
Saun, Jack, Tyco, Leslie, Star, Parmeta, Zsults and Slinky (Ryan the helicopter pilot/teacher) were fantastic tour guides.
I highly recommend the massages, yoga class, helicopter flight school, sailing lessons, Captain Cook kayaking and snorkeling, shore line and night time spear fishing, scuba diving and the volcano hike.

The food was Fantastic (a whole new way of eating for me). Weight training, cycling, swimming, snorkeling, walks, stair training, and kayaking with your were all 1st class?....AND YOU.... I have trained with some phenomenal trainers, but none with your enthusiasm, knowledge, flexibility and experience. You ARE the Peaceful Warrior.
I will never forget the impact you have had on me. I'm going to miss you Greatly and look forward to our paths crossing again."

Love,

she will make you smile when she enters a room
Her joy is contagious
her light you'll consume
Hardships she'll face
but anger subsides
Positive energy she transmits
Love Overrides
You can do it, she'll say
when you're in a rut
Elbows high, back straight
It's good for your pencil butt
Intelligent, caring, wise
Athletic to the bone
there is nothing she can't do
any skill she can hone
The mother I never had
the friend who gives stability
One who does not judge
she believes in your capability
Amazing chef, creative soul
Honest middleman, ingenious innovator
Trustworthy and forgiving

This is what a achieved with Kieba in one week. I lost 8 lbs. and 6 inches. I gained strength, endurance and flexibility, and a healthy glow. This was because of the combination of working out and eating the delicious retro raw meals. I was never hungry and had lots of energy. What I liked best was I didn't have to make any decisions. I just ate what Kieba gave me. Kieba gives you one on one personal attention and encourages you while you work out. If your gold is to get healthy, go see Kieba....
