Battle Fitness

For years, I concentrated on my education and career, which left many things such as my health and fitness on the back burner. After earning my degrees, I started a self-made "health journey" that consisted of eating salads, hitting a daily step count, and trying to figure out an exercise routine. After a few weeks of trying on my own, I quickly learned that I had no idea what I was doing and needed professional assistance, so I had a consultation with Jé and joined Battle Fitness.

Though I was apprehensive and overwhelmed at first, once I started talking and getting to know Jé, I knew the Body Transformation Journey was what I had been looking for! I realized that Jé knows exactly what she is doing, and I trusted her to guide me in the right direction - after over a year of working with her, she hasn't steered me wrong!

I lost 5% body fat and 21 pounds on my first Body Transformation Journey, achieving my first goal! It made me feel more confident in myself, and I'm looking forward to achieving my future goals!

I work with Jé online for my semi-private personal training and nutritional education and support. With the online training format, Jé can see everyone working out in real-time, which allows her to explain a specific move or critique form. It has also been a great way to meet other clients on their Journeys. The other clients are supportive, keep a positive and motivated attitude, and build a sense of community. Plus, the online format has allowed me to attend more personal training sessions while keeping a busy schedule with work and travel.

I was also impressed by the online nutrition education that contained both readings and videos, an explanation of the processes with the scientific reasoning, and deadlines to make sure I stayed on track.

I'm currently in the middle of my second Body Transformation Journey and plan for a third! I'm in it for the long haul, and though there are a lot of questions and emotions when thinking about future Journeys, I trust Jé to continue to guide me along the way!

Working with Jè has made me stronger, healthier, and more confident! Before working with Jè, I would scoff at people who “liked to work out.” Growing up, I was always on the heavier side however after the pandemic started and I became sedentary in my home all day, I knew I needed a change. As I started looking into working out I knew that for me I would need to work with a professional, and as an Indian woman, I was looking for a woman of color to work with. Going to a gym by myself with no experience would just set me up for failure. In my search, I was looking for someone who would not just look at my fat but my overall health and wellbeing. This search led me to Jè. After consulting with Jè and hearing how her Body Transformation Journeys work, I knew she would be a good fit. Jè balances compassion with accountability. Every session Jè is pushing me to do better and work hard. I signed up for live virtual personal training sessions online, and it has also been a tremendous help as well. No more excuses. No matter where I am I can log on and join my session. Jè also provides private one on one consulting to go over what is working, what is not, and how to continue doing better. Jè has an open heart and a great listening ear, but she also balances that with accountability. I have an extremely high-pressure job, and no matter what Jè has worked with me to succeed in and out of the studio. Jè’s plans are not one size fits all, they are tailored to the goals I personally want to hit, and they work. When I first started out I was over 200 pounds, and by the end of my first Size journey, I dropped 20 pounds and 5% body fat. I also can’t believe I’m typing this, but I turned into a person who “likes to work out!” I look forward to my sessions with Jè and the other Battle Fitness members. It’s time I use to decompress from my very busy schedule, work on myself and have fun along the way. I now join sessions around the holidays and even on vacation! I really cannot thank Jè enough for believing in me and pushing me to be a better version of myself every day.

I could not be happier with the results of my fitness journey with Je. I feel and look the FINEST I have ever been, dropping over 30lbs ,6% in body fat, and going from a size ten to a size six. I have never had more confidence and I am testing the levels of my sexy by wearing clothes I wouldn’t normally wear and showing more skin than I normally would. NO more one piece swimsuits for me.. You gonna get all this body… okayyyy?! Whats more telling is, I am excited to work with Je on another journey to build my muscle and curves and build the body of dreams, which I thought was unattainable until I began working with her and seeing my results from then to now. This has truly been a total lifestyle change where I feel better mentally, physically, and emotionally. Granted life happens sometimes, but at least I have had Battle Fitness in my corner to help keep me on track with prioritizing myself and workouts to know that I am stronger, physically and mentally and results I have attained are incredible.

I was searching for a black owned trainer in my local area when I found Je. She was close by and had great reviews so I decided to book a consultation and I’m so happy I did. I’ve had a trainer in the past however, the difference is that Je incorporated a total lifestyle change that encompassed so much more than just workouts. I workout in small groups but each session is personalized to the individual and their goals. I am in the military and one of my main goals was to improve on my physical fitness assessments. I am so happy I surpassed my goal in rising from a “Good High” score to an “Excellent score where I am now exempt for taking my physical fitness assessments for the year. I have even been approached as taking on a role as the command fitness leader due to my score off excellent. Jé also takes it a step further with private 1:1 consulting where we discuss my body transformation progress, what may or may not be working and how to make adjustments for better results. Je has always listened to whatever I’m going through and did not let me fall short of my goals no matter how much resistance I gave thinking -“this was too hard,” or learning to balance my personal life to not get in the way of my goals. She made me feel like I could do this journey and truly supported me along the way.

I appreciate you JE :)

I’ve learned throughout my Journey with Battle Fitness that I can do whatever I put my mind to! I joined the Battle Fitness family in the middle of the pandemic when I had gained a significant amount of weight and felt sluggish. I was looking for a program that could not only help me lose weight but would also help me with nutrition, workouts, overall healthy lifestyle changes and while searching on Instagram, I found that in Jé. During my initial consultation Je´ took the time to assess my physical strength, broke down how body fat works and inquired about my daily habits to help inform me how my body transformation journey would go, which is something other trainers I’ve worked with haven’t done.

Starting my body transformation journey online was something I was a bit hesitant about initially. However, I’m glad that I started my journey online because that meant no matter where I was, I was able to train virtually. I did quite a bit of moving around in the pandemic and Jé was still able to train me wherever I was… Virginia, New York, California… I trained in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, gyms…you name it! Jé catered my workouts to my current situation and made sure I got the most out of each session. No equipment was needed! I trained without weights for the first 4 months of my journey and was able to see incredible results in the way my body looked and how I felt inside. That is truly the beauty of Jé at Battle Fitness, being able to take a program that I thought I needed to be in person and bringing it online in a way that everyone felt that they were being paid attention to….no seriously Jé pays attention to every little detail during workouts so you know you can’t sneak in a break or miss out on a couple of reps. The semi-private personal training sessions feel like family; from wearing the same uniform, to each one of us showing up to our sessions challenging ourselves to reach a common goal!

As someone who previously didn’t see fitness programs through, at first, I felt like I couldn’t do this, but Jé was always around to encourage me and explain that as long as I did what was recommended I’ll see results and she was right! I’m over 6 months into my journey, and I’ve learned so much about my body, nutrition. I’ve so lost so much belly fat, my butt lifted and is so much more defined and my core feels so much stronger! I’ve gotten many compliments on my progress! This is the most consistent I have ever been with fitness and I’m looking forward to reaching more of my body goals during this next journey with Jé!

After completing my first size journey, I have seen significant change in my physical appearance and energy levels! I signed up for Battle Fitness to get active and shed some pounds, gain muscle definition, and overall learn about what foods I should eat in order to achieve the body I want. Je helped me gain a flatter and tighter stomach, stronger and toned arms, and slimmer legs.
The training that Je puts us through is fun! It is challenging but Je always pushes you to give it your all. Something I’ve for sure needed. The exercises that Je puts me through is catered to my goals and the body I want to achieve. Even though I wanted a flat stomach immediately after joining BF, Je reassured me we would get there, but first, it was about obtaining a symmetric appearance —something I didn’t even think of. I couldn’t be more happy.
Also, the nutrition courses that Je has for us on the client center really help inform you about healthy eating and lifestyle choices. After making necessary changes to my diet I have seen great improvement to my appearance and mood.
When I first started out I was at 163 pounds and by the end of my first Size journey, I dropped about 20 pounds and am 20% body fat now, where I was originally 26%.
I am about to start my second body transformation journey with Je and I am so excited to see what type of training she puts me through! I can not wait to wear a bikini and not have any reservations whatsoever—and I’m not far off!
