MEET JOVON!

Down over 75 lbs!?! ? Oh, yes, HE DID! ?

We’re excited to kick off our August Member Spotlight with this guy … we’re SUPER PROUD you, Jovon!

He “wanted to lose a few pounds” for his July wedding…and 7 months later, he’s a brand new man!!

We asked him a few more questions about his life, so read on to learn more…

1️⃣ You’ve been a part of our Infinity family since December 2021.Tell us why you started with us and what keeps you coming back.

I started Infinity in December of 2021 because I wanted to lose a few pounds for my wedding. But when I began, what made me keep coming back were the trainers and the other members. I watched how everyone interacted, and it seemed like family, and I wanted to be a part of it.

I started my fitness Journey at 275lbs I wore size 2XL clothing and size 40-42 pants. I’m current down to 195 pounds and wearing a Large shirt and 34 pants.

Also, during this process and getting ready for the wedding, my tuxedo jacket went from size 50 to 42.

2️⃣ What do you enjoy most about Infinity & how do you stay motivated?

What I enjoy about Infinity Fitness is the challenging workouts. There is never a day where I leave and don’t feel challenged. What keeps me motivated is feeling and looking healthy for myself and family. Also my other motivation is my fellow gym members. Everyone is so kind and their hard work and daily dedication to the gym, inspires me.

3️⃣ What is your career & what are some of your interests outside of Infinity?

I’m an engineer for a medical device company. My interests outside of Infinity revolves around family and trying to evolve into the best version of myself.

CONGRATS, Jovon on your wedding & incredible transformation!  We’re so honored to be a part of your fitness journey!

 



My relationship with Infinity Fitness AZ was initiated by Scottsdale Soccer ‘Blackhawks’. The Blackhawks is the largest soccer Club in Arizona and we wanted to find a speed, agility and strength organization to align our training for the children in our Club. I was immediately impressed with Chase, Heather and Mike – their knowledge and their care.

BEFORE
AFTER

I started working out at the facility this summer and committed to the Fitness Challenge this past September. My goal for the Fitness Challenge was to lose over 20 lbs and the commitment was simple from Chase and Heather – commit to the facility three times a week and follow the eating and supplement plan. Three things really helped motivate me – My Fitness Pal is a great tool to hold you accountable and to give you a sense of your intake, the wall of either achievement or shame – depending on your outlook in life – was both humbling and motivating, and the 6am class is always a fun group to remind you if you start off course! Members who have completed previous challenges are also a great resource to help you particularly with nutritional ideas.

Through the experience I reached out to Chase and Heather a couple of times and they gave me great feedback and aside from being disciplined and accountable to myself, I simply followed the plan outlined. I ended up losing 22 lbs through the challenge and 4.3% in body fat.

If you are thinking of doing it in January, don’t hesitate – it is great fun, very motivating and for myself life changing.
