Member of the Month: JeNae Journet Britton
Here’s her story!
I’ve always been heavy since birth. My heaviest was 392. I had weight loss surgery in 2013 and got down to 215 pounds. I was comfortable at that weight; I would occasionally go workout here and there to Planet Fitness, but I would see these Facebook post and hear people talk about Crystalized Training/Revfit Gym. I always wanted to go see what it was about but I felt I wasn’t in shape. I still ate bad. Yes, I had lost the weight, but I wasn’t ready.
I always had an excuse when people invited me until I decided to go to a spin class with Jamie Landry and I DIED!!!! BUT I enjoyed it, so I said I am going to join when the next promotion comes. So it did! It was the challenge, and we also had a weight loss challenge at work. I think it was in July; my weigh in at work was 211. I chose Bootcamp with Gabby, and I was spinning in the mornings! I was doing 2 times a day, and I fell in love with this gym❤
When the challenge was over, I signed up for a regular membership. I’m a wife, mom of 3, I enrolled back in school at UL, and I work a full time job. In spite of all of this, I make sure I make time for myself to get to the gym, and my husband makes this happen for me. I started running in the morning with my Level Up Sistas and now I’m in the Holiday Hustle. I swear I never ran non-stop in my life!! And I do it every time I run. I’m slow, lol, but they push me and everyone is so encouraging. So since I been here, I’ve lost a total of 33 pounds!!!!!! I’m now 178 (whoop whoop)…. I have a new goal of 150 and I’m coming for it!!!!!!!
