24 Hour Fitness

You can’t pick your challenges, but you can decide how to meet them. 24 Hour Fitness member Rayy Syymone was born with a nevus (a large, potentially cancerous mole) on her back. The doctor gave her mother the option to have the nevus removed, so they did. From birth until she was almost a teenager, Rayy was in the hospital frequently, having skin graft surgery, staples in her back and stiches everywhere. She was constantly in pain and couldn’t run, jump, play rough or bump in...to things because of the thin layer of skin and lack of protective tissue around her spine. When I was growing up, I wanted to be in sports, but I couldn’t. Rayy turned to food for comfort, until one day she realized she was wearing her trauma on her body and decided to make a change. Through a vegan diet and exercise, Rayy has been able to lose 100 pounds. Now, her goal is to inspire other people to live their best lives. She does this not only through inspiring social media, but also as a counselor at an adult school, serving people struggling with homelessness and depression. Rayy helps her students learn how to better take care of their mental well-being. #StoriesAt24

We are all a community showing up to better ourselves. This does not have a gender or orientation but rather a common goal to be the best versions of ourselves," member Montgomery Nicholas told us at our photo shoot last month. Having shaken off his self-consciousness, Montgomery now describes the fitness industry and the people in it as "family, giving me the encouragement and motivation I need to continue growing. We're proud to have him as part of ours. #StoriesAt24

Props to member Carla Nelson, who’s still going strong in all aspects of life when others might choose to retire and stop everything. She credits virtual personal training. Curious? Visit http://ms.spr.ly/6187piMgZ to find out more.

The backstory: Montgomery Nicholas’s fitness journey began with his Olympic wrestler grandfather challenging him to push-up battles. Despite growing up in a fit household, Montgomery struggled with his weight and was bullied by kids at school. It began to impact him so much he developed disordered eating and even collapsed from malnourishment. Montgomery's parents got him a gym membership where he could learn about nutrition and weight training, in a healthy way. Now, the gym continues to be a source of positivity for Montgomery. He reminds us to enjoy the process and love your body for the progress it makes, and resilience it has. #StoriesAt24
