Founder

Renisha James was born in Chicago and raised in Evanston, IL. She’s a Personal Trainer with an unquenched passion to help those around her change the way they think about fitness and health. She is an avid runner and has completed several 5K’s, 10K’s and 3 full marathons. She holds an ambassador position for the Chicago chapter of  Black Girls RUN! and FitFluential and is a marathon pace group leader for the Chicago Area Runner’s Association.

Renisha has always been fascinated with the human body and its capabilities, but her passion grew stronger as she people began to ask her about helping them meet their goals. Her desire to help her community connect health with being active and more conscious of their diet, was propelled forward when she lost she grandmother to complications from diabetes in 2008.

Renisha is convinced that everyone has great potential to be informed and knowledgeable about what it takes to be fit, one renewed mind and body at a time.

BE RENEWED!
