Jays Fitness And Nutrition

In my gym there is no gender identity or political agenda of any kind permitted. When you are here your here to work on your physical health. You are not here to push your political or personal beliefs. Leave them at the door.

In life your past can dictate your future and make you hate everything around you. It can make you only see the evil, ugly side of this world and shutter the real you away out of anger and fear. I understand this all too well. I've been there and hid behind a haze of drugs and alcohol to shutter the anger, pain and the real me from the world for 15 years. In that time I became homeless multiple times and bounced in and out of rehab’s. I was angry and afraid of dealing with the emotional scars from childhood abuse and the feelings of not being normal. When I started looking at life differently and working through my past trauma’s I started seeing myself as a survivor instead of a broken toy that didn’t get pulled off the shelf before being sold. I was able to use my past experience to drive me and motivate me to succeed. The way I had to start looking at it is if I can make it through all the stuff life has already thrown at me, I can make it through anything. I now have 7 years clean from drugs and make strides everyday to better my life and the people around me. I now own a gym that helps at-risk youth and abuse survivors along with the general public through fitness and community outreach. I’m a perfect example of a change in mindset and not being afraid to say I need help can change your life path. Don’t be too angry at your past experience to change your future perspective.
