How Priyah Lost 33 Pounds and Built a Sustainable Fitness Routine at Fight Fitness

December 19, 20252 min read

For many people, the hardest part of fitness isn’t the workouts—it’s consistency.

Priyah, a 29-year-old Ambulance Communications Officer, knows this firsthand. Before joining Fight Fitness, she struggled with on-and-off exercise habits, unhealthy eating patterns, and the mental fatigue that comes with feeling stuck. Sleep suffered. Confidence dipped. Motivation came and went.

That changed when she finally committed—not to perfection, but to showing up.

From Inconsistent Habits to Long-Term Results

Priyah first joined Fight Fitness after her mom discovered the 6-week challenge back in 2020–2021. Like many members, she wasn’t chasing a quick fix. She wanted structure, guidance, and accountability.

What she found instead was something deeper:

  • A welcoming, high-energy environment

  • Kickboxing and HIIT workouts that felt engaging (not punishing)

  • Coaches who cared about technique, progression, and people

  • A community that made consistency feel normal

Over time, those pieces added up.

33 Pounds Lost — and So Much More Gained

Rather than obsessing over the scale, Priyah focused on body composition, strength, and habits. Progress photos helped her see changes that numbers alone couldn’t capture.

Over the last 4–5 years, Priyah has:

  • Lost 33 pounds

  • Increased her strength and stamina

  • Improved her sleep quality significantly

  • Regained confidence she hadn’t felt in years

  • Started wearing clothes she owned 10 years ago

More importantly, fitness stopped being something she “fell off” and became part of her life.

Why Community and Consistency Matter More Than Intensity

One of the biggest surprises for Priyah was the power of community.

Surrounding herself with people who value movement, health, and self-care shifted her mindset. As Joe puts it, you become the average of the people you spend the most time with—and Priyah felt that firsthand at Fight Fitness.

She also learned a critical lesson many people miss:

Consistency beats intensity every time.

Missed workouts happen. Life gets busy. Re-committing is part of the journey—not a failure.

Advice for Anyone Thinking About Starting

Priyah's message to anyone on the fence is simple:

  • Take the first step

  • Book the class

  • Trust the coaches

  • Expect the first workout to be challenging—and worth it

You don’t need to be fit to start. You need to start to get fit.
