Peak Performance
Get ready to elevate your game and push your limits to new heights! July is all about embracing the challenge and striving for peak performance. It’s time to unleash your full potential, break through barriers, and achieve greatness. Join us as we embark on this exhilarating journey together, supporting each other every step of the way. Are you ready to rise to the occasion and make this month your most powerful yet? Let’s conquer July together and reach our peak performance goals!
WOD CHALLENGE is happening every WEDNESDAY in July! This year, each Wednesday, we will host a specific challenge designed to push your limits no matter which platform you attend. Make sure you pre-book your workouts and plan to make this part of your next 5 weeks. Tracking our progress will be the proof that we are getting faster and stronger each week!
JULY 1st marks the 183nd day of 2024 Check your REGYMEN app or stop by the front desk to check the number of workouts you have completed this year so far. Set a goal to either match or beat that number in this remaining half of 2024. Making progress one day at a time is how we improve the rest of our lives. Just an hour of exercise a day, several times a week is proven to decrease stress, anxiety, and depression naturally. Increasing the bodies sensitivity to insulin so muscle cells are better able to use glucose properly is another benefit of daily movement. Rigorous weight training and HIIT is proven to lower your A1C better than any medication on the market. Prove to yourself that you have what it takes to finish what you started! After all, you are already halfway there!
MINUTE TO WIN IT returns this JULY! Every workout in the month of July your coach will pick a member in the studio to draw a MINUTE to WIN IT card from the bucket. Whatever the card says, we must all complete at that moment. It could be during breaks, at the beginning, or end of each workout, so be on your toes and listen for the horn! This bucket is full of surprises!

Glynn Williams My name is Glynn Scoota Williams, and I am 35 years old. I have a wife (Sagan) and 3 kids, Khai (12), Kori (7), and Kani (4). I’m a Mechanic Associate for Carmax, and I like to play basketball, ride 4-wheelers, and workout. But working out wasn’t always on my list as my favorite activity or hobby. Just 4 years ago, I weighed in at 370lbs (don’t know if that’s the most but that’s where I weighed in the day I started my weight loss journey). My journey started when the world was on lock down. My job didn’t think we were essential, so we were at home like most of the world, and for the first 3 weeks, I ate and drank like I was on a getaway vacation. During this time, my health was not 100%, and in 2017, my doctor told me I was pre-diabetic and had pre-hypertension along with sleep apnea. I was headed down a path of self-destruction. Then, one day my neighbor was cleaning out his carport and had a weight bench and a few other things he didn’t want anymore and asked if I wanted them. I gladly accepted them and from there my life changed. So I started working out every day at 12:00 once the kids were down for a nap, and then I learned about intermittent fasting, the 16:8 method so it started coming together. I would eat then workout or workout first then eat. Finally went back to work and notice that my size 46 pants and 6xl shirt were a little too big. Then, my wife suggested that I make an Instagram and a TikTok page for my fitness journey. So I started, and my platform “Scootafit” was created for my videos, my working out, sessions and for my progression photos. After that, I kind of had it figured, stayed consistent with the working out, and by Christmas of 2020, I weighed in at 299lbs. Then in 2021, I made a decision to just to end my relationship with beef and pork. And in 2022, my wife, a few days before my 34th birthday, told me she had paid for a membership for me at Regymen (had no clue what it was it about) but first class was a burn class. I was nervous but excited at the same time. I was already 130lbs down from my starting weight of 370lbs and was ready to push myself to the next level and did just that. But I stepped away for a while. Fast forward to 2024, I’m back and better and lighter at 212lbs. In 2023, my doctor was amazed at my journey and my blood work. I had reversed my pre-diabetic conditions along with my pre-hypertension; My A1C looked better than it ever did. She told me I only needed to see her once a year for an annual check up instead of every 3 months. I needed no more medication, I felt relieved. I asked myself, if I continued down the path I was headed, would I still be here for my kids and my wife? I know they needed me and I needed them, they were my motivation. I hope my story can inspire someone that’s currently in the position I was in to push and get healthy. What I love about REGYMEN is you will be pushed to your greatest potential in a friendly environment. Everyone makes you feel welcomed, and the coaches are amazing. The rush it gives you makes you wanna just go harder. I did my first ever RUMBLE workout and I when I tell u it was everything I needed and more. I’m excited for this 2nd go round, I know they will help me reach my goal weight and get the body that I desire. The results are the award from the work you put in.

Lilian Thai Hi everyone! My name is Lily Thai. I started working at REGYMEN just a little over a month ago as their social media content creator, and have loved it here so far! I greatly appreciate everyone’s high energy and the lively atmosphere, so it’s been a blast. With that being said, let me tell you a bit about myself. I was raised in Baton Rouge practically my entire life and went to LSU, where I graduated with a marketing degree in 2022. I lived with my dad up until college, as I have a big family, four younger siblings all under the age of 11, and it got pretty crowded. Growing up with my dad though, he’s always been a fitness fanatic and pretty health conscious, which kept me active throughout my early childhood, with swimming, boxing, volleyball, etc. As I got older, I found other interests, like playing the piano, painting, and reading, etc., and became less active. Up until my last year of high school, other than life guarding (which I’d train for in the mornings before my shifts), I didn’t really work out during my own time. It wasn’t until my last few years of college that I truly found my passion in going to the gym. It started off with me tagging along with friends occasionally, and eventually I started going on my own to focus on strength training/weightlifting. Not only did it make me feel physically healthier but also mentally. On top of that, it became a new way to bond with my friends and family, especially with my dad, who’s normally pretty busy with work (my family owns an Asian market and my dad also fixes used cars on the side). So with my own fitness journey, along with my marketing degree, when I saw the opening for this position at REGYMEN, I was ecstatic for the opportunity! Now, during my free time, I’m normally either at the gym or working on my side business that I’ve recently started up, a pop-up bakery, where I like to bake unique/non-traditional flavored baked goods, like matcha cookies. Other than that, I also enjoy hiking and rock-climbing, and I love anything beauty or fashion related too. My previous job was with Sephora, which I loved as well, but I wanted to do something more within marketing. I’m also always open to trying new things and learning more, so I’m currently learning how to sew and play the guitar. Thank you for the warm welcome, everyone! If we haven’t met yet, swing by and say hi-I’d love to meet you!
