Today we’d like to introduce you to Camille & Marlon Jones.
Hi Camille & Marlon, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
In 2018, as a recently married couple in our mid-twenties, we unfortunately found ourselves at our highest weights of 205lbs (Camille) and 475lbs (Marlon). We knew that we needed to make a true change for our health and wanted to stop selling ourselves short by making excuses. But, as we all know, that’s much easier said than done. We continued our lives with our poor eating habits and lack of consistency in daily activity until we finally had enough.
In the spring of 2020, the world had just “shut down” and we decided to take that time to sit down and understand why we struggled so badly with food and weight-loss. We didn’t want to just start another weight loss journey, so we didn’t. Instead, we sought out on a journey of consistency, knowledge, and understanding. Looking past the scale and analyzing how we got there was the approach we needed in order to really focus on creating better habits.
After just eight months of focus and consistency, we managed to lose 170lbs together! Shortly after the beginning of 2021, were approached by Good Morning America for a live TV segment on getting healthy for the new year. Literally thousands of people were inspired by our story of being on this journey together and flooded our small Instagram page with messages and requests for help. This opportunity to share our story with their viewers really opened our eyes to the impact that we could make on others that struggled with their health just like us.
Like so many other people, we struggled for years with weight loss and building habits that would benefit our health. Once we figured out how to overcome some of those life-holding habits, we understood that our purpose was now to help others change their lives.
Now, as coaches (Marlon-Certified Personal Trainer, Camille-Certified Nutrition Coach), our mission is to provide people with the resources to be successful on their own journey of consistency towards a healthier life.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The road to where we are today has definitely not been smooth, but that’s what makes it worthwhile. Knowing that you are stepping up to the challenges each day of intently doing things that will get you closer to your goals makes the road’s bumps not so noticeable. Learning to enjoy the process while making progress has been one of our biggest lessons on our journey together. There will be days that you don’t feel like working out or cooking dinner, but that moment you make the decision to do it anyway should be celebrated. Those small decisions you make each day have the possibility of leading to big, life-changing results.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Beyond Fitness by CMgetFit?
We are a husband and wife team that have taken all of the successes and failures we endured during our +230lbs weight loss journey together and simplified these tools so others can experience the same success in a shortened period of time.
We help people who have struggled with a lifetime of dieting find the healthy habits that will work for their lifestyle. We specialize in helping others who have struggled with weight loss make the changes necessary to lose weight and change their lives forever, not just for now. We are known for our “Eat Better” Cookbook Vol 1 and our 14 Day HDQ Workout Program. We are also known for our tips, recipes, and workouts that we share throughout our social media platforms.
What sets us apart is that we have successfully lost 237lbs together and actively share the tools that allowed us to be successful! Many couples have attempted to approach weight-loss, nutrition, and working out together but have been unsuccessful because they approach their goals individually, as opposed to as a unit.
We are most proud of the impact we have made on others from sharing our journey and products. We have had numerous people tell us about the positive effects our Cookbook and workouts have had on not only their health but the health of their spouse/children as well. Knowing this only motivates us further to help more people achieve what they never thought was possible. We pride ourselves on genuinely helping others understand that there is hope for their health, it can be done 100% naturally, and most importantly, it IS POSSIBLE.
We want readers to know that we are a brand that TRULY understands the struggles associated with not only losing weight but simply understanding what “healthy habits” actually look like. As a brand, we offer our Cookbook, which is tailored to picky eaters and contains the exact recipes we used to begin making the changes necessary to find success on our weight-loss journey together. We also offer our full follow along 14 Day HIIT Workout Program, which contains the exact types of workouts we completed daily when we began our journey. These workouts include modifications for those with bad knees, as well as proper stretching and warm-up techniques for each day. The combination of these products allowed us to make the changes necessary to literally change our lives, and we are more than happy to offer them to others! We would also like readers to know that we have recently become certified in Nutrition and Personal Training and will be offering 1-on-1 training services very soon!!
What sort of changes are you expecting over the next 5-10 years?
We see the fitness, nutrition, and wellness industry continuing to grow tremendously, with a main focal point being social media or online platforms. Social media has helped to readily provide millions of people with the information and assistance they need at any given moment of the day, directly at their fingertips. This holds especially true for those looking to lose weight or make lifestyle changes. Having your trainer, support partner, or coach easily accessible could be the missing key to many people’s success.
