Today we’d like to introduce you to Fitsam Deveaux
Hi Fitsam, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Hello, it’s an honor to be here !! here’s my story i hope this moves an changes your life!!
When I look back at how Reconstructed By Sam started, I can’t help but see God’s hand in every part of the journey. This wasn’t just a business idea—it was a calling that I couldn’t ignore. I began with a deep passion for helping people not only change their bodies but transform their lives. I wanted to create a space where people could come and feel empowered, not just in their workouts but in their purpose.
In the beginning, it wasn’t easy. I faced many challenges—doubt, uncertainty, and setbacks. But every time I felt like giving up, I was reminded that this is bigger than me. God placed this vision in my heart for a reason, and every obstacle became a lesson, every failure a stepping stone toward growth. I leaned heavily on my faith, trusting that He was guiding my steps, even when I couldn’t see the full path ahead.
Initially, I thought I was heading into the military. But in 2015, when I stepped into the Atlanta School of Massage to pursue their personal training course, everything changed. It was then that I realized my true gift was at my fingertips, and I fell in love with the art of personal training. My first client was 408 and i got her down to 204 and that moment !!!!!! you already know , My journey through school from 2015 to 2017 laid the foundation for the passion I have today
Today, Reconstructed By Sam is more than just a gym. It’s a community of individuals who are striving to be the best versions of themselves. We’re not just building stronger bodies; we’re building stronger mindsets, relationships, and faith. Our mission has always been about more than fitness—it’s about total transformation, inside and out.
What makes this journey so special to me is the people. The clients, the team, and everyone who walks through our doors has their own story, and it’s been an honor to be a part of that. We’re growing together, pushing each other to new heights, and building something that feels like family.
Our work is rooted in five core pillars: impacting communities, giving chances, breaking generational curses, subduing the earth, and leaving a legacy. Of all these, subduing the earth is one of my favorites. It represents the calling I feel to continue the work God has placed me here to do. I believe we’re not here for a long time, but we’re here on purpose. That purpose is the driving force behind everything we do at Reconstructed By Sam—where we promise results and change lives.
I’m incredibly grateful for where we are today, but this is just the beginning. My goal is to continue expanding Reconstructed By Sam, reaching more people, and making an even greater impact in our community. I want people to know that no matter where they start, with the right mindset, faith, and determination, they can reach heights they never imagined.
This journey has been about surrendering to God’s plan and trusting that, with Him, all things are possible. And now, we move forward with even greater purpose, knowing that the best is yet to come.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
The road was anything but smooth. There were moments when I questioned everything. From the uncertainty of starting a business to the personal challenges of balancing faith, finances, and building a brand, it was often overwhelming.
In the beginning, there were so many sleepless nights. I had to navigate the fear of failure, moments of doubt, and the overwhelming pressure of trying to make sure I was doing things right. There were times when clients didn’t show up, equipment broke down, and finances were tight. It felt like I was fighting to keep my head above water. But it was in those moments of struggle that I learned the most about myself and my purpose.
One of the biggest challenges I faced was overcoming the mindset of feeling stuck in one place and my finances. Before starting Reconstructed By Sam, I thought I was heading into the military as stated before, but God had different plans for me. for me, the military would have been an easy route.
What helped me push through was my faith and the belief that God had a purpose for me beyond the immediate struggles. The name Reconstructed By Sam is personal because it reflects the internal work I had to do to reconstruct my mind before I could help others transform their lives. Every obstacle along the way taught me resilience, persistence, and, most importantly, trust in God’s timing.
Looking now, I can see that the road wasn’t supposed to be smooth and still isn’t however it is those rough patches that built the foundation for who I am today. And for that, I’m grateful.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?

Do you have any advice for those looking to network or find a mentor?
Finding the right mentor is one of the most important decisions you can make in your personal and professional life. My advice is simple: Find someone who believes in you and genuinely wants nothing from you but to see you flourish. A true mentor isn’t there for personal gain—they’re there to help you grow, guide you through challenges, and push you toward your potential. For me, it’s not just about giving advice but building a connection where both mentor and mentee can learn and evolve.
I’m a mentor so if you need help please contact me.
