Today we’d like to introduce you to Justin & TracyAnn Johnson.
Hi Justin & TracyAnn, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
Born in Williamsport, Pennsylvania and raised in Marrero, Louisiana, currently in the North Georgia Mountains. Growing up in New Orleans, I was taught early to deal with adversity. I love to motivate people on overcoming their adversities and pushing through the odds. After being told by doctors in the Air Force that I would need need 3 leg surgeries or never be able to run again.
In 2015 I found myself doing what I loved since a kid – which was fitness and being an active athlete. Through trial and error, I was able to push through and become the version of myself that I knew. However, in 2021 in my mid 20’s, I faced a life-altering car accident that resulted in numerous injuries, setting me on a difficult recovery journey of four years.
I was casted off to pain management to deal with my pain or face several surgeries. Doctors stated that I would not ever be able to train with my injuries. This experience tested my Faith but guided me onto a journey that is much bigger than I am.
With over 10 years of healthcare experience, beginning with my training as an Aerospace Medical Technician in the United States Air Force, I’ve had the privilege of working in diverse healthcare environments. My background spans roles as a Medic, Orthopedic Technician, Athletic Trainer, and Durable Medical Equipment (DME) Coordinator. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with individuals of all ages and stages, from infants and children to postpartum clients and the elderly.
As a trainer, my mission is simple: meet people where they are and inspire them to take action, no matter their fitness level. Whether you’re just starting your journey or looking to push past a plateau, I’m here to guide, support, and empower you every step of the way.
The motto is, ” One Lift At A Time” and it means more than a workout but to lift up one person at a time. Thank you for considering me to inspire you on your journey.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The path to where I stand today has been anything but smooth. Three surgeries, thirteen MRIs, and over a dozen epidural injections marked a grueling journey filled with setbacks and restarts. Adversity tested my resolve time and again, but through it all, my wife and I remained steadfast, united in our determination to turn challenges into opportunities.
My lifelong passion for fitness, rooted in my days as an athlete, became my lifeline. It was this drive that fueled my recovery, helping me rebuild my strength and reclaim my health. Meanwhile, my wife—ever the visionary with a knack for technology—saw a chance to blend our strengths into something transformative. She proposed creating a fitness app tailored to our clients, a tool to empower others on their wellness journeys.
Together, we dove into the complex world of app development, navigating regulations, refining features, and hammering out every detail. What began as an idea born from our shared resilience has grown into a platform that reflects our commitment to helping others overcome their own obstacles, one step at a time.
