Smithtown Mom Takes 4th place in an East Coast Fitness Competition

Philomena P punched and kicked her way into the best shape of her life at Tiger Schulmann's

As a parent, your first thoughts are never for yourself, they're always with your children. When Philomena P walked into Tiger Schulmann's of Smithtown for the first time, it was to help her young daughter build her focus and self discipline. Little Nadia's martial arts journey began that day, and continues to this day. She invited Philomena to join her on the mat for that year's Mother's Day "Mommy and me" style class, and this started Philomena's journey.

Each year, Tiger Schulmann's holds a fitness challenge, The 90 Day Challenge, for all of their adult students to compete each other in fitness. The students take 90 days to train as much as possible, while eating as cleanly as possible as well. Top 5 winners are named for Men's Best Body, Men's Most improved, Women's Best Body, and Women's Most improved.

This January, Philomena joined over 1700 competitors in taking on the 2016 90 day challenge. Throughout the Challenge, Philiomena trained 4+ classes a week, met with her team leader, and followed the TSMA nutrition program and got herself in amazing shape! She did so well, in fact, that she took 4th place in the Women's Best Body competition. After such an amazing accomplishment, Philomena has her sights set even higher for the 2017 competition, aiming for the top 3!
