Today we’d like to introduce you to Chanele Faulkner.
Chanele, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
My fitness journey began about seven years ago during a time when I was searching for direction and balance in my life. I wasn’t living the healthiest lifestyle: drinking, smoking, and constantly chasing quick fixes. About five years ago, I made the decision to get sober, and that’s where everything changed. Fitness became my outlet, my therapy, and eventually, my purpose.
What started as a personal journey to heal and rebuild evolved into a passion for helping others do the same. I earned ny Nasm Certified personal trainer & nutrition coach certification, then my RKC Kettlebell Instructor Certification & StrongFirst then became a corrective exercise specialist, and built my business: CokitoFitnessLLC around strength, accountability, and growth.
Today, I coach others to not only build stronger bodies but to find confidence, discipline, and balance through movement. My story is about transformation; from surviving to thriving, and using that experience to empower others to do the same.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It hasn’t been a smooth road. Sobriety, self-doubt, and rebuilding my life tested me in every way. But those challenges built my strength, not just physically, but mentally. Every setback became part of my story and my purpose.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about CokitoFitnessLLC ?
My business, CokitoFitnessLLC, is all about strength, accountability, and transformation; inside and out. I specialize in kettlebell and strength training, helping clients rebuild confidence and consistency through personalized coaching.

How can people work with you, collaborate with you or support you?

I also welcome collaborations on events, workshops, or content that align with my mission. The easiest way to support me is by joining a program, engaging with my community, or sharing my work with others who want to grow stronger, inside and out.
