Jevonn McRae

Hi I’m Jevonn “Jae” McRae!! I started my fitness journey 20
years ago in preparation for a career I wasn’t sure I’d be or could ever be “FIT” enough for. This career required 6 months of intense training both physical and mental. I weighed between 200-230lbs.

There were times I told myself, “I could never run a mile and a half, do 20 pull ups, 50 pushups and 100 sit ups.” I’d ask people who I knew “WORKED OUT” if they could train me. I depended on people to make me look and feel better. My self esteem wavered and I pretended to be confident. I purchased gym novelties that collected dust. I read fitness magazines, frequented vitamin shops, drank protein shakes, juiced
and ate salads etc. It all worked for a while. I’d lose weight and become motivated but when the scale didn’t say what I wanted it to say, I was back to the wavering self esteem.

Determined to find what worked for me. I finally tried
the one thing that I avoided “THE GYM.” When I joined the gym, I tried every class offered and I took advantage of the free personal training. I found my favorite class. I took this class religiously. Whenever I switched gyms, I made sure they offered my favorite class… ZUMBA!!!! Zumba helped me lose weight, gain stamina, boost my self esteem and confidence.

I completed the 6 months of training; I found something I love; Fitness. Zumba gave me a fitness foundation needed to endure intense physical training. I continued my fitness journey by delving into other fitness platforms, such becoming Schwinn Certified Cycle Instructor and later becoming a Certified WARRIOR Strength and Combat Instructor.  

I want to be your favorite class; I want to be a part of your fitness journey. What sets me apart from instructors? I was a student just like you! Why should you come to my class? Because I am building a community, that includes you. What does my class offer? In my class we don’t work
out we party by dancing on the dance floor, on a Bike, while strength training, kicking and punching with WARRIOR to the sounds and rhythms from across the world!
