Why we're closing

A note from Smith

I’ve grown a bit distant from the fitness space and to be honest, my heart isn’t in it anymore. I stopped posting fitness content as the industry changed and truth be told I lost the love for it. As a result, the business is not what it used to be and can’t continue as it is.

It’s been an incredible time through challenges and watching how people have benefited from the JSA. This business allowed me to live my best life, start a family and have the best job in the world, so I thank all of my members.
