CHARIKA GRAY Hi everyone I’m Charika. I’m sure you have heard Christy yell my name for being late if we have ever been in a class together! I am 32 years old. I am from a small town in Mississippi but have lived in Louisiana for 10 years. I am a wife and a mom to 2 adorable boys. I am a registered nurse and find enjoyment in traveling and exercising. I have been a member of REGYMEN FITNESS since 2023. I remember when I first joined REGYMEN, I was getting ready to go on a trip and wanted to shed a few pounds before we left. One day I was scrolling on Facebook and saw an ad about a 6-week-challenge, and I was immediately interested. I have worked out before alone and did ok, but once I reached my goal I stopped and lost all my progress. This time I knew I wanted to develop a lifestyle and not just a quick fix and that’s exactly what joining REGYMEN has been for me. I signed up for the challenge and have been hooked ever since. At my very first workout, I received the warmest welcome from the coaches and members. This was definitely a different environment than my previous gym, and it immediately felt like I had found my place. I love everything about REGYMEN and have connected with some great people. All of the coaches are amazing and push me to be the best. I absolutely love them for that, even if I fuss about it! I never imagined a Facebook ad would have led me to the most incredible gym in Ascension Parish but I’m sure glad it did.

Darrell “DJ” Johnson Hey, my name is DJ, and I started working at REGYMEN a little over a month ago. I really enjoy it here and plan to stay for a while, so let me tell you a little about myself. I live with my mom, Dawn Johnson, who is a teacher at EA and is hopefully soon to be principal. My father, Darrell Johnson (I’m a Jr.), passed away in the summer of my senior year, and as a former Marine, I credit him for instilling discipline and respect in me. I have a sister who is 6 years older than me, Dari Smith, who y’all may get to know soon because she has talked about signing up recently. I’m currently in college on an academic scholarship and just finished my fourth semester. My major is mechanical engineering, so if I’ve looked tired at all recently, you now know the reason. I started working out the summer after my freshman year of high school with the EA baseball team. I played baseball all four years of high school, and I credit it with getting me interested in weight lifting. Since leaving EA I now workout mostly at the UREC on campus and whenever possible right here at REGYMEN with you guys! In my spare time, I enjoy playing basketball with all of my former teammates from baseball. We do this quite often, and although I wouldn’t consider myself good by any means, I have improved substantially. My previous job was at Camp Bow Wow in Prairieville. I worked there for 3 years and really enjoyed it because I love dogs. While I don’t have a dog at the moment, my sister has one named Paco that was rescued from a shelter in Mississippi. As his uncle, I make sure to go see him often and watch him when they go out of town. I also enjoy fishing and hunting when I get the chance. Bass fishing and duck hunting are my two favorites. Thank you all for being so welcoming, take a moment to stop and introduce yourself sometime if I have not yet had the chance to meet you!
