MEET KIPLING SOLID
Trainer & Fitness Expert
Kipling Solid is well-known for her creativity and refining her own unique style of Personal Training. She is a Fitness Expert to Corporate Executives and the Innovator of the Bungi Gym Muscle Activation System.
She continues to represent the integrity of the Muscle Activation System.
What is Muscle Activation?
​
A neural reset for enhanced muscle performance and a tool for better breathing, chronic tension leading to a
stressed body and mind.
​
Kipling continues to receive an accepting nod from Doug Heel, innovator of "Be Activated" and creator of the patented Butt Bungi. She is trained in his method and assisted in Doug's teaching technique and coaching in workshops in the early days of his introduction to the U.S.
In 2013 Kipling had an original idea. She developed a method to apply the Butt Bungi towards the first and only available system on the market today.
"Hands Free" Muscle Activation System
Kiplings' first client in the Butt Bungi was an 18 yr. old friend of her son. Danny had Scoliosis. One year earlier Danny had a Harrington rod placed in his spine to fuse the spine in order to reduce the Cobb angle. The result was to halt curve but pain was a daily challenge. Danny was open to the idea of just standing in a Bungi with a possibility of reducing pain so he agreed. In 3 minutes a miraculous thing happened! Upon asking him to step out of the Butt Bungi and walk around, Danny's response was nothing less than bewilderment. Eyes aglow and a glowing smile exclaimed,"This is the first time I have not been in pain in a year!"
​
Since that day in 2013 the system now called, Bungi Gym System has grown in the U.S and successfully continues to help clients worldwide! Many get immediate relief from suffering with chronic pain including: Scoliosis, Fibromyalgia, post-concussion, disc herniation and numerous other chronic pain related symptoms.
​
Within the past 4 years, Kipling participated as staff, at the “Forbes Factor Live Events” and as The Bungi Gym and SpinGym Fitness Expert with Forbes Riley, and continuing as Staff with Joseph Ranseth "Global Influence Summit" Event. Both are award winning motivational keynote speakers and authors and clients.

Her passion for fitness began at 9 years old with "movement" as her mission. Accomplishing 1,000 hops on a pogo stick without falling off had purpose. Cartwheels and handstands up and down the block reached a destination. Classical ballet and gymnastics revealed grace and power. Later with an introduction to body building in college, Kipling won her first NPC National qualifying show by winning two first-place trophies, overall winner in two events receiving the title, Ms. Ozark, in both events. Her professional career began in corporations throughout the Chicago area as a Fitness Coordinator.
