Meanwhile, my clients started to take notice. Building my website, going to business seminars, networking, getting a mentor and building my personal brand. I did just that.įor the next 12 months, I built my business from the ground up on my laptop. As my limitation grow so did my frustration, I realized the only way to see change is to be the solution.

The nutrition, training, and accountability were considerably watered down compared to the vision I had for my ladies. I had to do my job the way they wanted me to do it.Īs I learn and grow through research and experience, I learned that their systemic practices were only surface deep. So much so my group class dropped my government name and started calling me ‘TheBeastCoach’ instinctively. All the regulars distinguished who was being trained by me in comparison to the results of my colligates. Even other members started to compliment the dramatic difference in my client’s waist, curvy physiques and overall toning of their body composition. Strengthening moms, wives, and busy woman alike giving them the proper tools to receive the results they desired. All I wanted to do was empower Women through health and fitness. I was training everyone, kids, men, and women.Īfter embarking on several fitness journeys with different women from all various backgrounds, I found my passion: Women’s Fitness Transformation. I left my retail job to work as a trainer full-time. I quickly applied, studied for my certification and started working in the gym within two months of preparation for becoming a fitness professional. He saw my interest in as many questions as I asked and we had a conversation about me become a trainer. Shortly after, I got training sessions to learn from my trainer the ins and out of the transformation process from a clients point of view. That was short lived because my purpose was calling me to back to the fitness industry. On a quest to pay back that debt, I got a job in retail. As a result of financial aid and grants not falling through, I was hit was out-of-state tuition. Shortly after, I relocated to Houston, where I enrolled at the University of Houston to pursue my kinesiology degree. Majored in Sports and Exercise Science at Santa Fe College and graduated in 2011. I’m from Gainesville, Florida, born and raised. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there. Thanks for sharing your story with us Jakya. Today we’d like to introduce you to Jakya Sheppard.
