How Jen Changes Things Up and Wins First Place!

Jen Johnson, winner of the women's Memorial Day Melt-Away Challenge, has been a member with Eastpointe since 2015. After Covid, she decided that she needed a new outlook on her workout routine and that she needed to change things up! She had always done lots of cardio and it just wasn't working for her anymore. And because of her limited experience with weight training, she avoided it. That's what drove her to join the challenge. Jen knew she needed a lot of guidance when navigating this new field and she felt she would get that at the All-Inclusive level of our challenge.

Jennifer feels like she succeeded because of the trainers holding her accountable, as well as the ongoing follow up and helpful, knowledgeable staff. Having access to Katy, our nutritionist, was a key factor in providing her with the tools she needed to be successful in her overall weight loss goal. Jen dropped over 22% of her body fat in just 6 weeks, winning her a 1st place spot in the female category! She plans to continue her success with our Shore Results Essentials program going forward to keep herself on track. Congratulations Jen!

Want to lose body fat like Jen did in just 8 weeks? Join our New Year Team Challenge that starts on January 12th!

It’s not too late to start strong! If you’ve been waiting for the right time, the 2026 New Year Team Challenge is still open

More Than a Fitness Event — It’s a Complete System for Success

This isn’t just another gym challenge. The New Year Team Challenge is an 8-week, three-pronged experience built around the pillars that matter most: Training, Nutrition, and Mindset. Participants form teams of four, each supported by a team leader and coach, creating accountability and connection from day one. You’ll work together through weekly challenges, check-ins, and guided education — all designed to help you stay consistent and motivated.
“I truly feel that everyone — the other members, myself, and the trainers — are a team.”

What’s Included in the Challenge

• Training consultation plus a 30-minute training session
• Nutrition guideline review meeting with live online Q&A
• Weekly motivational group email
• Weekly educational/informational article
• Two healthy recipes per week

This structure gives members clarity, direction, and ongoing support — the key ingredients for meaningful, sustainable results.

Fran Nicholes has been part of the Eastpointe Health & Fitness family since 2011—and her journey is a powerful reminder that true transformation starts with mindset.

“I started my journey with Eastpointe Health & Fitness in 2011 and I have never looked back,” Fran shares. “This place has given me the support and personalized approach to ensure my success. By focusing on both my mind and body, I have become stronger physically and completely changed the way I think about health.”

Although Fran has always considered herself a “gym person,” she explains that Eastpointe has been a completely different experience. Like many members, life and work sometimes pulled her elsewhere—including upscale gyms offered through corporate memberships—but she always found her way back.
“I could never find the same fit anywhere else,” she says. “At other gyms, you feel like a number. Staff turnover is constant, and it’s hard to build real relationships. At Eastpointe, the consistency and support—from the front desk to the trainers to the nutrition team—make you feel like family. That makes all the difference.”

Over time, Fran’s focus shifted away from the scale and toward overall well-being. “It’s not about losing weight—it’s about feeling good and being healthy,” she explains. “Eastpointe offers the full package. The programs truly support your mind and body, and that’s what creates lasting change.”
At 67 years old, Fran is still very much on her journey. She is still reaching for her goal, but more importantly, she’s committed to the process.
“This is a lifestyle,” Fran says. “I come in three times a week and put it on my calendar like an appointment with myself. That’s how you make it happen.”
Her message to others—especially those who may feel intimidated or think it’s “too late”—is simple and inspiring: “Age is just a number. I don’t give up. Other people my age can do this. You just need to be in a supportive, encouraging environment—and that’s Eastpointe.”
