Hello! I’m Shereen Primus the owner of The Zone Fitness. I have been in an on-again, off-again relationship with excess weight since childhood, especially after the birth of my daughter in 2003. After gaining nearly 100 pounds while pregnant I tried every diet to lose the weight. In April 2009, I decided to join a gym and started working out consistently. My daughter, Kimani went along and was so proud.
On 09/02/09, Kimani passed away at the age of 6 years old. After her death, I entered a weight loss boot camp and had great success. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to keep the weight off. In 2012, I moved to New Jersey and slowly started to regain the weight.
In October of 2013, I began an independent weight loss journey and lost 50-60 pounds! Once again, I regained the weight and packed on extra pounds due to a busy work schedule and complacency.
On 11/28/17, I decided to make a serious commitment to changing my lifestyle, including both diet and exercise. At the time, I weighed in at 312 pounds. To date, I've lost over 100 pounds and I will never look back. The most important thing is I've learned the secret sauce to long-term weight loss and maintenance without deprivation.
With the knowledge I've gained through real life weight struggles, I decided to start a lifestyle fitness business aimed to help those with similar issues with weight. I know the challenges that come with excess weight, the harder obstacle to get the weight off and the frustration involved when trying to keep the weight off. Let me guide you to your fitness breakthrough!
