    I lost 46lbs and 6% body fat and I am very happy with the progress made on my Body Transformation Journey! I feel more confident than ever, no longer hiding behind my clothes. I feel more confident walking into rooms. People I haven't seen in a while tell me how good I look, and it makes my day because I know the work I put behind it shows.Before my fitness journey with Jé, I never truly felt comfortable in my skin because I struggled losing weight and thought I tried everything. I played sports throughout high school but quickly gained weight in college, and once I graduated, I was on the hunt for ways to live a healthier lifestyle.I had so many questions about how to eat, lose fat, gain muscle, and work out in an enjoyable way—Jé had the answers! From the very beginning, I saw someone who believed in me and would push me to reach my goals. Joining Battle Fitness has kept me accountable and taught me how to have a healthy relationship with food and working out.I have tried another trainer before, but they didn't pay as much attention to detail as Jé did with my workout and nutritional guidance. With Jé, I could see results almost immediately.Training with a semi-private group makes working out fun! Though we have our individual goals and are at different points in our transformation journey, we are able to push each other to keep going. I remember during my first training session virtually with a group, I was struggling to complete an exercise - another client who was further along on her fitness journey gave me a quick pep talk to keep going, that it would get easier with time - That showed me that not only did I have a personal trainer but I also had a community that had the same drive and goals as I did.Training virtually gives me the flexibility of working out wherever I want, whether at home or out of town, making training 10x easier, and forces me to ditch the excuses for why I can't work out. I work long hours, and it's nice not to have to rush to a class or gym. I can even have dinner cooking at the same time as my training session! I always thought I would need to buy all the intricate machines that a gym has, but Jé has proven that with very little equipment, I can achieve my goals.I learned a lot about myself and my body over the course of my fitness journey and I'm so happy I joined Battle Fitness.

    Working with Jé has been one of the greatest decisions for my health and confidence. I wanted to prioritize my wellbeing and strength, aiming to become a stronger more confident version of myself. Battle Fitness stood out for its no-nonsense, professional approach, that focused solely on achieving tangible results. Witnessing my body evolve and grow stronger with each workout was incredibly rewarding.I've shed 29 pounds and 10% body fat, gaining not only a healthier physique but also newfound energy and muscle definition. Achieving my fitness goals has transformed my life, granting me increased energy and confidence. Through this journey, I've learned the importance of consistency and self-discipline. Training alongside others virtually was motivating and it was reassuring to know other people are in the same process. Virtual training in my home was incredibly convenient, requiring minimal time commitment while delivering amazing results. Overall, my experience with Battle Fitness has been nothing short of transformative.

    Thanks to Battle Fitness, I showed up to my wedding day as a stronger, more confident, and yes, WAY more fit man!I was 11 months out from my wedding when I made the conscious decision to better myself for me and my future wife’s life – the issue was finding the perfect PARTNER to help get me there.Between one-size-fits-all solutions and trainers who were over inundated with 60+ clients, it was a wildly frustrating process, which I had thought would be the easiest part of this journey.In stepped Je and Battle Fitness, who was thoughtfully honest from minute 1, second 1. She explained how each journey is hand-tailored to optimize for specific client results. She was also transparent about how accountability and education are a centerpiece to her process for clients, which, although scary at the time, was paramount in my time with Battle Fitness.Between Day 1 and Wedding Day was ~7 months, and I successfully lost both 17 lbs and 4% body fat – results beyond my expectations and likely (positively) surprising more than a handful of our wedding guests.The compliments from my now wife, our family, friends and even colleagues alike have done wonders for my confidence – so much so that I refused to stop working with Je and Battle Fitness after the big day – I wanted MORE!I will be eternally grateful for the time, effort and partnership Je gave me. She always made me feel as though I was her main priority when we spoke or met up for a progress report update. She made real-time changes to my workouts whenever I was on the road (which was a little TOO often for my own liking!) and was always meeting me with a smile, encouraging words and diligent direction at every interaction.In short, Je is a wealth of knowledge with an undying devotion to anyone who truly wants to improve themself and their lives. I refuse to imagine where I would be without her these past 12 months, and encourage anyone in a similar situation to consider entrusting Je and Battle Fitness wholeheartedly.

    Battle Fitness was the first to appear during my research, and joining was the best decision I ever made! By the end of my first Body Transformation with Je, I've reduced 44 pounds and 11% body fat! My family and friends are so shocked when they see me and always ask me what I have done to achieve this transformation. Before Battle Fitness, for years, my previous lifestyle exacerbated my asthma, made my seasonal allergies severe, and made me very self-conscious about my body. I had tried multiple times to improve my health through fad diets and half-hearted attempts to exercise. Without proper guidance and accountability, I wasn't getting any results, and I felt discouraged. I needed help, and I'm glad I found it. By performing my Body Transformation virtually, achieving my goals is so much more convenient while having a full-time commuting job and occasional travel. I don't have to be self-conscious about strangers looking at me workout. I do semi-private personal training with Je and a handful of other clients that I see regularly. Everyone in the virtual session always encourages me to keep going and gives me kudos while witnessing my body's transformation. They have taught me to celebrate my wins. Je provides resources I reference to find recipes and create menus that I enjoy while properly fueling my body for my training sessions. Vegetables and fruits that I rarely ate before are now in my daily menu. My asthma has remarkably improved, and my cholesterol has decreased by 77 points! My transformation instilled a significant lifestyle change. I have never felt this confident with my body until now. I asked Je to get me comfortable in a bikini, and she did! I have never felt this great, not only physically but also mentally. I'm so happy I found Battle Fitness.

    Working with Battle Fitness, I am happy with where I am vs where I started my journey.Being a skinny guy I didn’t have much definition in my body and wanted to change that. I wanted to develop muscles in my arms and chest. As well as trim down some body fat around my midsection.I joined Battle Fitness in hopes of finding a trainer to not only teach me how to work out properly but also hold me accountable during sessions and keep me pushing.I had two consultations with Je before officially joining. After our first consultation, I wanted to be sure I compared all my options, so I reached out to other trainers and found trainers that were cheaper but did not offer much regard of progress follows up, guidance with nutrition or food prep. Some that offered those options were too expensive for what I felt comfortable paying. I even did a trial workout with one trainer and their workout style was too high paced, and strenuous for me.During my transformation journey, I learned that what I eat is much more important than just working out. I learned that as a former track athlete on the thinner side my body has high metabolism but still has to receive a balanced diet if I want to achieve my goal with building muscle. The proper combination of both nutrition and exercise showed great results as I began to see my body tone and lean out in ways I never achieved when I have tried to shape my body in the past. It felt good when friends would comment that they see me and my progress. I even noticed that shirts I had that I wore fit me much more fitting and I saw my chest and arms showing definition without me even trying to flex.I trained in virtual semi-private sessions with other clients, which boosts accountability during the sessions. It’s great that I’m not alone, and we’re all striving to get the body we want. It helps to know that when I feel pushed to my limit, others are with me.Also, training online works in my favor. When I travel, I still have access to my sessions and stay on top of my workouts, whereas before, I may not have exercised for days. This has only been the start of my fitness journey, and I’m grateful to have taken my first steps with Battle Fitness.

    If I told my old self that she would go from almost an obese level of body fat to a fitness level body fat in under a year, she would laugh and smack me for lying.Before Battle Fitness, at 123 pounds, I was "skinny fat." Even though I looked small, I was bigger than I wanted and felt weak. I couldn't climb stairs comfortably or sit up from a lying position! I tried diets and random exercises to lose weight and build strength, but my weight kept increasing after every failed attempt. My insomnia and anxiety worsened and with the fear of things only getting worse, I wanted to make a true change. Also, being engaged, I wanted to look and feel my best for my wedding day.A Google search for a local female trainer led me to Jé of Battle Fitness. By reading through previous clients' experiences, I felt Jé could help me make a permanent lifestyle change, and after my consultation, I knew this was the right choice.I train virtually in semi-private sessions! I love working out from home with other clients because it's a video call away! Everyone's energy motivates me to do my best. Jé also consults with me 1-1 to review my progress.Jé's website is a treasure trove of knowledge. I've learned how to feed my body for workouts by incorporating my favorite dishes without sacrificing taste.My body reduced fat by 9% through my size journey, and I lost 23 pounds! I have strength I've never had before. I can sit up, lift heavy things, like boxes of groceries, and I have the stamina for the activities I missed doing. I go rock climbing, and now I reach the top every time. I go dancing without feeling out of breath, and I go hiking and enjoy the scenery without feeling so exhausted.My wardrobe got a major update, downsizing from a 6P to a 2P, and I picked a wedding dress that needs no alterations!Thanks to Jé's guidance and my old self for pushing through the body transformation process, I have the confidence to tackle my next journey with Jé, and I can't wait to achieve more goals!

    During the pandemic, I felt lost and unmotivated. I was in an unhealthy relationship, and I would drink often and emotionally eat to suppress my negative feelings about myself. I knew it was time for a change so I decided to get back on track with fitness. I came across the Battle Fitness website and felt inspired by the video testimonials, and since booking a consultation with Je, my life has never been the same! I worked with Je virtually online, which allowed me to participate in sessions while traveling, and I once even joined a session at the airport before my flight! Throughout my journey, I lost 5.5% of my body fat, reaching a level of fitness I had never achieved before! I left my toxic relationship and gained an amazing partner that values health and fitness, and also I made the decision to pursue my masters degree! When I first started with Battle Fitness, I had the expectation of my training to be focused on my physical capabilities and strength due to my experiences with other trainers in the past. However, Je takes a more holistic approach that encompasses physical, mental, and emotional. Everyone is different, and she acknowledges that by providing an individualized program that fits each client's specific needs. I have learned about nutrition, mindset, and consistency. Focusing on what I was putting into my body and how I was feeling was a pivotal moment for me. Being part of this journey, I've gained incredible friends, and I feel like I'm part of a community and have become more aware of my environment and who I surround myself with. My journey has been transformational beyond the physical. I'm truly grateful and appreciative to Je for providing me with the resources to achieve my fitness goals and, in the process, the ability to transform myself from within.

    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.
