Renew you. Redefine growth.

Fitness that finally fits your life.

You don’t need another plan that punishes you, because this was never about shrinking yourself or chasing a number on the scale. It’s about building a body that lets you enjoy your life. You need something built around your real week, and someone who’s actually been where you are.

Meet Johnna

I've been where you are.

I spent years surviving instead of living. I worked three jobs, I was exhausted, and somewhere along the way I convinced myself this was just who I was. Then I realized nobody was coming to save me. I lost 160 pounds over three years — not because I found the perfect workout, but because I stopped trying to change my life overnight.

Growth isn't a few miles ahead of you. Just a few steps.

NASM

Certified Personal Trainer and Certified Nutrition Coach

Lived experience taught me what it feels like. Years of coaching real people taught me how to actually do it. You need both.

How this works

The UMRNU way

Three things I will not compromise on, whether we train together in person, online, or not at all.

01 Start smaller than you think.

One walk counts. One meal counts. Progress is built out of the things you'll actually repeat, not the things that look impressive for nine days.

02 No shame, ever.

No guilt about food. No punishment workouts. No talking about your body like it’s a problem to be solved. If a method requires you to hate yourself, it isn’t a method.

03 Build a life, not a before-and-after photo.

The goal is climbing the stairs, keeping up with your kids, and wearing what you want. The number on the scale is a side effect, not the point.

Weight loss should add to your life — not take it away.

Client results

Real people. Real consistency.

No dramatic before-and-afters required. Just what actually changed — the dread that went away, the six months someone kept going, the guilt that stopped showing up at dinner.

In person

“Working with Johnna has been one of the best investments I’ve made in my health in my mid 40s. I came in needing guidance on how to incorporate strength training into my life. I was unsure about using machines and how to safely build strength…”

Real talk about fitness, habits, and starting over

The Weight I Carried

Chapter 1: The life I thought I had to accept

I grew up as the fat kid in the early 2000s. You can imagine how that goes.

The Struggle

Chapter 2: The Internal Battle

This cycle continued for years. I tried to get healthier, tried to work out and lose weight, but nothing worked for me.

The Mindset Shift

Chapter 3: The Turning Point

After years of living this way, in pain and agony, something hit me, and I had had enough.

The UMRNU vest

I didn't want to create a vest for people who were already fit. I wanted to create one for people who were still becoming.

Twelve removable one-pound weights. Start at four pounds. Add one when you're ready. Never jump ten.

The same way she lost 160 pounds — one decision at a time.
