Matisa Haney's Challenge Success Story: A Journey of Transformation
How a busy mom lost 15|+ pounds, transformed her health, and won runner-up prize in the Super-Man Remastered Challenge.
Matisa Haney’s transformation story isn’t just about dropping pounds—it’s about reclaiming her life and redefining what’s possible, even in the face of adversity.
As a busy mom and wife who had faced the harsh realities of life’s challenges, Matisa knew that if she wanted to live a long, healthy life for her family, it was time to make a change.
“I wasn’t a fan of lifting at first,” she admits. But the more she stuck with it, the more she realized how much power was in her own hands. What began as a simple goal to shed weight quickly became an empowering journey of strength and resilience.
Matisa’s commitment paid off in a big way with a complete body transformation—culminating with her winning the female runner-up prize of the 2024 JimStoppani.com Super-Man Remastered Challenge .
But it wasn’t just about looking better—it was about feeling stronger and healthier for the ones who mattered most: her husband and kids.
Matisa’s journey was fueled by the desire to inspire her children, lead by example, and live a life without limits.
The Super-Man Remastered Challenge: A Life-Changing Opportunity
When the Super-Man Remastered (Holiday Shred) Challenge was announced, Matisa knew it was time to push herself to the next level.
This challenge was a perfect fit for her goals: fat loss, strength gain, and better health.
Over the course of two months, Matisa lost somewhere between 15 and 20 pounds by committing to a meticulously planned nutrition regimen that emphasized low carbs, high protein, and healthy fats.
The challenge, which combines Dr. Jim Stoppani’s effective workouts with science-based nutrition , was exactly what Matisa needed to transform her fitness routine.
“I wanted to show up for my family and inspire my kids to prioritize their health,” she says. With the support of her husband, who planned their meals and became her workout partner, Matisa tackled every workout head-on. Together, they pushed each other to finish strong.
Staying Consistent Through Life's Challenges
No transformation is without its struggles, and Matisa’s was no exception.
There were days when working out felt like the last thing she wanted to do, but her commitment to the process kept her going. "Just ten minutes into my session, I’d feel the rush of satisfaction and pride," she says. Consistency, along with cutting back on alcohol, helped Matisa stay on track, even when it was difficult.
Matisa's perseverance paid off when friends and family took notice of her incredible progress. “People were blown away by my transformation,” she says.
Matisa’s Advice for Others
If there’s one thing Matisa learned from her transformation, it’s this: "Believe in yourself, show up, and never underestimate what you and your body can achieve. It’s hard work, but it’s so worth it."
For anyone considering starting their own fitness journey, she emphasizes the importance of setting realistic goals, staying consistent, and not giving up, no matter the obstacles.
“Today, I remain committed to my health, staying consistent with my workouts and healthy eating habits,” Matisa says. “My journey is a testament to the power of perseverance, love, and showing up for yourself — one workout at a time.”
Matisa Haney’s story is a powerful reminder that perseverance, dedication, and the right support can lead to life-changing results.
Whether it’s through a structured program like Super-Man Remastered or just committing to being a better version of yourself every day, she’s proof that hard work truly pays off.
