Jaydin Roquemore

My name is Jaydin Roquemore and I’m from the Milwaukee area. I started my fitness journey at 16 when my mother would bring me with her to the YMCA for her yoga classes. I went to the weight room and started figuring it out, just picking up weights and doing what I learned in my gym class in middle school. I got my first membership at Planet Fitness, and after 2 years of helping my friends and cousin workout with me, a trainer there who was leaving offered me his position as Head trainer. He showed me what he knew with customizing and improvising exercises for everyone’s different needs. From then the first people I trained had the most motivational feedback, making me realize I had a special way of translating instructions where people can retain and act with simplicity and efficiency. The ball rolled from there creating a positive reputation and people seeking me out to help them. Covid 19 then happened and the gyms closed, so I believed it wasn’t meant to be for me to become a trainer and tried other career paths.

Eventually a friend helped me get into the private gym FitPro MKE where the same thing happened: I started working out with friends and cousins to help meet their goals. Shortly after that, I met with the owner about potentially needing more help with training. I knew it was a one time opportunity to prove my value so from then I trained the first clients like our lives depended on it. Zach being my best trial thus far losing 50lbs between July and October!

I believe part of what makes me special as a trainer is that I never cared about the money or the looks. I had a car accident that taught me my body wasn’t reliable to protect me in real life situations. I then kept my workouts practical and stressful where I’d be prepared to use natural strength outside of the gym, and applied that to my clients based on their goals. Over the years I’ve even developed my own exercises and apply them daily. As of now I have healthy relationships with every client I have, and I enjoy contributing to these people’s lives: buying them years, saving them thousands on future medical bills, giving them the confidence to be someone people can rely on for physical tasks (how to execute lifting or any physical ability safely). 

It doesn’t stop here though. My current goals include opening the door to nutrition and meal planning, tapping into the life coach lifestyle, motivating people one life at a time. The possibilities are endless because I genuinely enjoy helping people, and not for a second has any of this felt like a job. Shoutout to Nick and FitPro for taking a risk with me and taking me in so I could truly begin to exercise my potential with the world!
