Wife & Mama

Before Beastin beauties I was obese, depressed and just angry all the time. It wasn’t fair to my son, family and especially myself. I followed jay for about a year before actually showing up to a class. I would watch her videos and think I can’t do that. What if I look silly? What if people laugh at me? But I needed a change, so I took a chance and I’m so glad I did. No one laughed at me, in fact everyone was so friendly and supportive. The community is really the best support system out there. With their encouraging words and actions I pushed through and lost around 65lbs, some of that during a whole pandemic. I’ve gained so much confidence and now I’m a whole different person. Sure I still have my bad days but I’m not that sad person who hates the world. I’ve become so much stronger mentally and physically. I’m pretty proud of myself that I can finally do a few pushups, my whole life I literally couldn’t even do one! I’m still not where I want to be physically but I love myself and love the progress I’ve made, something I couldn’t say before joining Beastin beauties. Pretty great I’ve made a few friends along the way that keep me going! Some days I’m really not feeling it but after a workout session with them I feel amazing! If you’re tired of being tired and need a change this is the time. Jay will literally guide you through your journey and give you all the tools you need! And this community, they will motivate you like no other. Don’t be afraid to try something new, it might be the best thing that’ll happen to you! 

I can’t say enough good things about the positive impact Jay and Beastin Beauties has had on my life. I used to attend a regular gym before coming across Beastin Beauties. If being honest I never really cared for big gyms just didn’t fill comfortable. Beastin Beauties offered me that sense of community and support that I need to be successful in my journey. I made the decision to join the team and I haven’t regretted once. With Jay’s help I have been able to make the necessary changes in my routine to give me the results I want. In just a few months I have seen incredible results. I can see the difference in the way my body looks, my endurance and most importantly my state of mind. Honestly signing on to do a class everyday keeps me going. It’s my one hour a day to myself. Jay is there every step of the way encouraging, supporting and always making sure you are having a good time. I have an amazing time with Beastin Beauties and look forward to continuing my journey as part of this community. 

 I stumbled upon Jay's instagram page, I began to follow it and enjoyed watching clips of her dancing videos. I previously was enrolled at a local gym that offered zumba but that was eliminated once the gym restructured. Once covid hit and gym's were closed I felt like it was time to start working on myself even if it meant working out at home. I was one year post my first baby and decided it was time! I had lost all by baby weight but quickly gained 10 lbs and was eating like crap and also felt sluggish. I joined my first 6 week challenge with Jay and became driven!! I shed nearly 15 lbs total throughout 2 challenges! I love the convenience of the virtual studio as I could work anytime time/day from home. All the Beastin Beauty members in the group are amazing and supportive. I love the group workouts as they push me to give it my all! I now hold an annual subscription and am loving how I feel! If you are here reading our testimonials you are already headed in the right direction! Try out a monthly subscription or hop on one of Jay's free classes she offers. You you will NOT be disappointed! 💋 

For anyone who is thinking about joining u should it’s fun and great workout I started since August and have lost about 25lbs. And I feel amazing. Also my cholesterol levels were high and I was pre diabetic and got migraines every week . Since I started I just did bloodwork a week ago to see how I’m doing and my cholesterol levels dropped and no longer pre diabetic and the best part is I have not had a migraine since my new journey . I have muscle and my body has toned up. Honestly there is no magic to it I didn’t use any special diets or pills thank God. I just join Beastin beauties did her workouts five time a week and ate clean and drank water.

WOW! Just WOW!!! Never in my life ever have I ever fathomed to be living the life I currently am. When I started with Beastin Beauties a few years back, it was purely a social activity. I went because it was fun. The people were fun. There was an incredible energy. It was a dynamic community I wanted to be a part of. I attended BB Jay’s JamFit classes because I was “dancing” and they were fun. I didn’t have any goals and didn’t even have a desire to loose weight. I just went because of the people. (I couldn’t really do any of the moves, I walked weird, and I really wasn’t doing much of anything because I was too heavy, but I was having fun showing up!) I was morbidly obese (I don’t even tell people my starting weight because it is so embarrassing). I was also on seven different medications! One for high cholesterol, one for high blood pressure, one for migraines, and three for diabetes and then one to protect my kidneys from the side effects of the various medications. And I thought I was happy. Then in June 2018, BB Jay challenged me to try and loose 100 pounds, just to see what it was like. I had ALL kinds of excuses as to why I “didn’t want to loose weight,” but I can’t resist a challenge. I didn’t tell her or anyone that I was doing it, but I started. I showed up daily and actually began to put in the work. I made minute changes to what I was eating and I started dropping weight. People began to noticed but I was too embarrassed to confirm that I was or what I was doing or that I even began what would turn into a weight loss journey. But you know what? The ladies at Beastin Beauties noticed and they cheered me on. They would make note of small simple changes they would see in me and would consistently tell me how I motivate them to keep going and to keep showing up. Four months later, I was off four medications and down about 50 pounds. Community and support is everything and I got that from the ladies at Beastin Beauties. I now had people who were going through their own journeys who were inspiring me to show up, have fun, and just do me. I couldn’t do a walk push up, I couldn’t do a sit up, I was exhausted with 10 crunches. But whatever I tried, I had ladies and trainers cheering me on and challenging to try more. I would always show up because it was such a supportive, positive, thriving, and inspiring committed group that I WANTED to be there. August of 2019, I was only on one medication . I tore both my meniscus but I still kept showing up because I wanted what was being poured into me and I wanted to let others know that as long as you don’t give up, you will accomplish what you want. 2019 was the year I didn’t loose much weight but where my body began to change shape and form and became more muscle. I was able to do real push-ups, full sit ups, and even hold a plank. I kinda grew content with where I was after loosing one hundred pounds. I never even thought it possible. I was living a life I never even dreamt of. I was content. Then Covid! That’s when the true test began. It changed everything. It “took” the community away that was supporting me and cheering me on, or so I thought. Through social media and Zoom, this community would still check in and support each other. They would still cheer other on. We would virtually workout together. I did gain over 30 pounds in three months. Then BB Jay stepped in with the beta testing of her accountability coaching. LIFE CHANGING! She knew me, knew my struggles, knew my weakness, knew my insecurities, knew my fears, and so what did she do? She mapped out a plan and created manageable life adjustments to take me to the next level. She made herself available and would answer any and all questions (no matter how stupid they were). She would talk me through moments of struggles. She would logically put things in perspective where I couldn’t argue with her and would set me up to know what decision I needed to make. It became all about transparency with her. She knew better than I knew myself. This is what allowed her to push me in areas, to challenge my thinking, and to grow me. I became consistent and I began to internalize all that she had been telling me, finally believing some of it and actually taking ownership and responsibility for myself. By mid-August 2020, I had lost all of my Covid weight and then some, but the best part... I was told I NO LONGER NEEDED to be ANY medications. I was told that my blood panel was impeccable and that my A1C was that of a pre-diabetic, that I was moved from an uncontrolled diabetic to diabetes managed with diet and exercise!!! WOOT! WOOT! Sure I have lost over 150 pounds, but as a result of BB Jay’s invest in me, I have gained so much more. I have gained a life I’ve never believed possible. I have learned what it’s like to have someone believe in me more than I believed in myself. I know what it’s like to push through wanting to quit. I have learned that it’s okay to not meet a goal by a set deadline but to not give up and strive to get as close as possible to it. I have learned that I am the one who limits me but that if I would allow myself, I can do things I deemed impossible. I have learned the value of having a positive, supportive, inspiring people in my life. I have learned how harmful toxic and negative people can be to my goals and mindset. I have learned that only I can stop me. I learned that anything is possible, I just have to try and not give up. Thanks BB Jay for showing me there is so much more to life than I knew was possible.
