Finding this place was such a blessing. For years I had thyroid issues and had very little energy and it was progressively getting worse. I sought out Dr. Johnson’s help because I became desperate to find a way to help give me more energy again. I was so exhausted with feeling fatigued all the time, and had tried so many other things with very little improvement. This program was well worth the money. From the start, they really make it a point to walk you through everything, make sure they cover all bases with your health, and can tell that they really care about finding the root cause of your issues and fixing it. I started noticing improvements within the first month, and it just got better from there. I’m to the point now where I feel like me again, I have energy to get through my day and be active again. I no longer NEED caffeine to get through my day. Which is crazy because prior to the program, I was to the point where I was drinking large amounts of matcha 3-4 times a day just to get through the day. I can’t stress enough how life changing and helpful it has been to do this program, I really am so grateful.
Dr J and his team helped me to come a long way in not only healing myself but the understanding behind it. Halicia was amazing, she would check in with me and be easily relatable. I left my time with them feeling like I understand more of the why behind health stuff as I continue in my life with making decisions to support my body and nervous system
I worked with Dr J and Dr Fig. They helped me manage my PMS to no longer having severe cramps and bloating. My skin cleared up, I learned that I’m highly sensitive to caffeine. I was able to hurdle insomnia to finally able to sleep. Through shifting my diet I got my cholesterol down and vitamin d levels up. All in all, Thrive helped me to transform my health.
I went to Thrive because of various reasons, including chronic fatigue, anxiety and perimenopause symptoms. 7 months later I feel like I have a different body. I have energy to accomplish my daily tasks, tools for coping with anxiety and reducing future anxiety as well. In addition, I have few, if any perimenopause symptoms anymore. The program was intense and a lot of work, but it was worth the effort and I felt supported every step of the way.
I came to this program being pretty broken emotionally and physically. I had been through some personal traumatic events that had led me to being very sad and heavier than I’d been in years. I knew the two were connected and I knew I needed a change.

What I have appreciated about this program with Thrive is their recognition that change is hard. At no point did they force me to do something or shame me. Rather the first six weeks was a slow build where, it just wasn’t hard for me. The changes I needed to make were “bite-sized” and in the first month I had lost 12 pounds without feeling deprived. As the program went on, instead of yo-yoing back into bad habits, my body didn’t want the alcohol, the sugar or the caffeine. I was feeling so great, I only wanted to give my body the best things. Also my sleep during detox improved dramatically. I’ve now incorporated very healthy wind down habits, so I sleep better at now, wake up at consistent times and have more energy throughout the day.

And although the team aren’t therapists, they also were able to help with some techniques that helped me cope with some of the emotional things I was going through. Being patient as I cried, and not only empathizing, but also giving me very practical things to do - like meditation, breathing techniques and the positive self-talk.

This was a wonderful, life-changing experience that was not a quick fix. But rather I now I am living a healthier life and this is who I am now.
My experience with thrive naturopathic was one of the best life changing experiences I did
Dr Jonson and his team were professionnel so kind and very present even if we were outside the country ,
and as a teenager I had to follow the diet with my mother because of some neurologic health issues and many food intolerances .
After finishing the 6months program that were so smooth and so easy to follow I start to feel my immunity getting better and better ,my ADHD slows down a lot especially with all the supplements I used to take during my diet.
and today I am used to my new lifestyle and all my friend call me the healthy boy because whenever I go I always do the right choices .
I am happy to have had all this valuable information at my age because the temptations were so big and it was worsening my case

My health is still improving even after finishing the program and my mom too , and we are very very grateful to have had Dr Johnson crossing our destiny

Thank you Dr Johnson from the bottom of my heart

I lost 46lbs and 6% body fat and I am very happy with the progress made on my Body Transformation Journey! I feel more confident than ever, no longer hiding behind my clothes. I feel more confident walking into rooms. People I haven't seen in a while tell me how good I look, and it makes my day because I know the work I put behind it shows.

Before my fitness journey with Jé, I never truly felt comfortable in my skin because I struggled losing weight and thought I tried everything. I played sports throughout high school but quickly gained weight in college, and once I graduated, I was on the hunt for ways to live a healthier lifestyle.

I had so many questions about how to eat, lose fat, gain muscle, and work out in an enjoyable way—Jé had the answers! From the very beginning, I saw someone who believed in me and would push me to reach my goals. Joining Battle Fitness has kept me accountable and taught me how to have a healthy relationship with food and working out.

I have tried another trainer before, but they didn't pay as much attention to detail as Jé did with my workout and nutritional guidance. With Jé, I could see results almost immediately.

Training with a semi-private group makes working out fun! Though we have our individual goals and are at different points in our transformation journey, we are able to push each other to keep going. I remember during my first training session virtually with a group, I was struggling to complete an exercise - another client who was further along on her fitness journey gave me a quick pep talk to keep going, that it would get easier with time - That showed me that not only did I have a personal trainer but I also had a community that had the same drive and goals as I did.

Training virtually gives me the flexibility of working out wherever I want, whether at home or out of town, making training 10x easier, and forces me to ditch the excuses for why I can't work out. I work long hours, and it's nice not to have to rush to a class or gym. I can even have dinner cooking at the same time as my training session! I always thought I would need to buy all the intricate machines that a gym has, but Jé has proven that with very little equipment, I can achieve my goals.

I learned a lot about myself and my body over the course of my fitness journey and I'm so happy I joined Battle Fitness.

Working with Jé has been one of the greatest decisions for my health and confidence. I wanted to prioritize my wellbeing and strength, aiming to become a stronger more confident version of myself. Battle Fitness stood out for its no-nonsense, professional approach, that focused solely on achieving tangible results. Witnessing my body evolve and grow stronger with each workout was incredibly rewarding.

I've shed 29 pounds and 10% body fat, gaining not only a healthier physique but also newfound energy and muscle definition. Achieving my fitness goals has transformed my life, granting me increased energy and confidence. Through this journey, I've learned the importance of consistency and self-discipline. Training alongside others virtually was motivating and it was reassuring to know other people are in the same process. Virtual training in my home was incredibly convenient, requiring minimal time commitment while delivering amazing results. Overall, my experience with Battle Fitness has been nothing short of transformative.
Thrive Naturopathic has been such a blessing in my life. Dr. Johnson, Dr. Fig and Halicia were wonderful to work with- they truly care about your overall health and wellbeing. In the last seven months, I saw major improvements in my physical and emotional health- my anxiety, brain fog and high blood pressure each improved- and the knowledge I gained was, and still is, invaluable. The recommended supplements and program modules, with frequent phone calls and zoom appointments truly made me feel supported during each step of the way. Most doctors will rush you in and out of their offices, never truly taking the time to listen to your unique symptoms. The blood tests ordered are often routine tests that do not dig deeper into what may be going on inside of your body. Dr. Johnson and his team are thorough and well educated. They care about you and want to see your health improve. 10/10 recommend!
Thanks to Battle Fitness, I showed up to my wedding day as a stronger, more confident, and yes, WAY more fit man!

I was 11 months out from my wedding when I made the conscious decision to better myself for me and my future wife’s life – the issue was finding the perfect PARTNER to help get me there.

Between one-size-fits-all solutions and trainers who were over inundated with 60+ clients, it was a wildly frustrating process, which I had thought would be the easiest part of this journey.

In stepped Je and Battle Fitness, who was thoughtfully honest from minute 1, second 1. She explained how each journey is hand-tailored to optimize for specific client results. She was also transparent about how accountability and education are a centerpiece to her process for clients, which, although scary at the time, was paramount in my time with Battle Fitness.

Between Day 1 and Wedding Day was ~7 months, and I successfully lost both 17 lbs and 4% body fat – results beyond my expectations and likely (positively) surprising more than a handful of our wedding guests.

The compliments from my now wife, our family, friends and even colleagues alike have done wonders for my confidence – so much so that I refused to stop working with Je and Battle Fitness after the big day – I wanted MORE!

I will be eternally grateful for the time, effort and partnership Je gave me. She always made me feel as though I was her main priority when we spoke or met up for a progress report update. She made real-time changes to my workouts whenever I was on the road (which was a little TOO often for my own liking!) and was always meeting me with a smile, encouraging words and diligent direction at every interaction.

In short, Je is a wealth of knowledge with an undying devotion to anyone who truly wants to improve themself and their lives. I refuse to imagine where I would be without her these past 12 months, and encourage anyone in a similar situation to consider entrusting Je and Battle Fitness wholeheartedly.
Dr. Johnson and his team at Thrive Naturopathic were wonderful to work with. Their program helped me learn the tools needed to get myself back on track with a healthier lifestyle. In the past 7 months working with Thrive, I have naturally lost 20 pounds, my health has improved significantly, I feel better and sleep better, I am less stressed, and my digestive symptoms I was experiencing are very much improved. When I started with Thrive, my lab work showed some levels outside of the normal range, which were causing me concern. My most recent labs showed, not just improvement to within normal, but they showed really great levels. I am now much more aware of what I consume and how to properly take care of my body through a natural, healthier lifestyle. Many primary care doctors don’t ever seem to take the time to listen to you, to really know or care what is causing your symptoms. They just want to give you a pill for everything. Dr. Johnson takes the time to listen to your symptoms, run the right labs, discuss the results with you, and develop a plan to address the causes of your symptoms and abnormal levels. His team then makes adjustments to your plan, as needed, to help you reach your goals. I could not be more pleased with my results and would definitely recommend Dr. Johnson and the Thrive Naturopathic team for a more natural approach to your health needs.

Battle Fitness was the first to appear during my research, and joining was the best decision I ever made! By the end of my first Body Transformation with Je, I've reduced 44 pounds and 11% body fat! My family and friends are so shocked when they see me and always ask me what I have done to achieve this transformation. Before Battle Fitness, for years, my previous lifestyle exacerbated my asthma, made my seasonal allergies severe, and made me very self-conscious about my body. I had tried multiple times to improve my health through fad diets and half-hearted attempts to exercise. Without proper guidance and accountability, I wasn't getting any results, and I felt discouraged. I needed help, and I'm glad I found it. By performing my Body Transformation virtually, achieving my goals is so much more convenient while having a full-time commuting job and occasional travel. I don't have to be self-conscious about strangers looking at me workout. I do semi-private personal training with Je and a handful of other clients that I see regularly. Everyone in the virtual session always encourages me to keep going and gives me kudos while witnessing my body's transformation. They have taught me to celebrate my wins. Je provides resources I reference to find recipes and create menus that I enjoy while properly fueling my body for my training sessions. Vegetables and fruits that I rarely ate before are now in my daily menu. My asthma has remarkably improved, and my cholesterol has decreased by 77 points! My transformation instilled a significant lifestyle change. I have never felt this confident with my body until now. I asked Je to get me comfortable in a bikini, and she did! I have never felt this great, not only physically but also mentally. I'm so happy I found Battle Fitness.

Working with Battle Fitness, I am happy with where I am vs where I started my journey.

Being a skinny guy I didn’t have much definition in my body and wanted to change that. I wanted to develop muscles in my arms and chest. As well as trim down some body fat around my midsection.

I joined Battle Fitness in hopes of finding a trainer to not only teach me how to work out properly but also hold me accountable during sessions and keep me pushing.

I had two consultations with Je before officially joining. After our first consultation, I wanted to be sure I compared all my options, so I reached out to other trainers and found trainers that were cheaper but did not offer much regard of progress follows up, guidance with nutrition or food prep. Some that offered those options were too expensive for what I felt comfortable paying. I even did a trial workout with one trainer and their workout style was too high paced, and strenuous for me.

During my transformation journey, I learned that what I eat is much more important than just working out. I learned that as a former track athlete on the thinner side my body has high metabolism but still has to receive a balanced diet if I want to achieve my goal with building muscle. The proper combination of both nutrition and exercise showed great results as I began to see my body tone and lean out in ways I never achieved when I have tried to shape my body in the past. It felt good when friends would comment that they see me and my progress. I even noticed that shirts I had that I wore fit me much more fitting and I saw my chest and arms showing definition without me even trying to flex.

I trained in virtual semi-private sessions with other clients, which boosts accountability during the sessions. It’s great that I’m not alone, and we’re all striving to get the body we want. It helps to know that when I feel pushed to my limit, others are with me.

Also, training online works in my favor. When I travel, I still have access to my sessions and stay on top of my workouts, whereas before, I may not have exercised for days. This has only been the start of my fitness journey, and I’m grateful to have taken my first steps with Battle Fitness.

If I told my old self that she would go from almost an obese level of body fat to a fitness level body fat in under a year, she would laugh and smack me for lying.

Before Battle Fitness, at 123 pounds, I was "skinny fat." Even though I looked small, I was bigger than I wanted and felt weak. I couldn't climb stairs comfortably or sit up from a lying position! I tried diets and random exercises to lose weight and build strength, but my weight kept increasing after every failed attempt. My insomnia and anxiety worsened and with the fear of things only getting worse, I wanted to make a true change. Also, being engaged, I wanted to look and feel my best for my wedding day.

A Google search for a local female trainer led me to Jé of Battle Fitness. By reading through previous clients' experiences, I felt Jé could help me make a permanent lifestyle change, and after my consultation, I knew this was the right choice.

I train virtually in semi-private sessions! I love working out from home with other clients because it's a video call away! Everyone's energy motivates me to do my best. Jé also consults with me 1-1 to review my progress.

Jé's website is a treasure trove of knowledge. I've learned how to feed my body for workouts by incorporating my favorite dishes without sacrificing taste.

My body reduced fat by 9% through my size journey, and I lost 23 pounds! I have strength I've never had before. I can sit up, lift heavy things, like boxes of groceries, and I have the stamina for the activities I missed doing. I go rock climbing, and now I reach the top every time. I go dancing without feeling out of breath, and I go hiking and enjoy the scenery without feeling so exhausted.

My wardrobe got a major update, downsizing from a 6P to a 2P, and I picked a wedding dress that needs no alterations!

Thanks to Jé's guidance and my old self for pushing through the body transformation process, I have the confidence to tackle my next journey with Jé, and I can't wait to achieve more goals!

After completing my first size journey, I have seen significant change in my physical appearance and energy levels! I signed up for Battle Fitness to get active and shed some pounds, gain muscle definition, and overall learn about what foods I should eat in order to achieve the body I want. Je helped me gain a flatter and tighter stomach, stronger and toned arms, and slimmer legs.
The training that Je puts us through is fun! It is challenging but Je always pushes you to give it your all. Something I’ve for sure needed. The exercises that Je puts me through is catered to my goals and the body I want to achieve. Even though I wanted a flat stomach immediately after joining BF, Je reassured me we would get there, but first, it was about obtaining a symmetric appearance —something I didn’t even think of. I couldn’t be more happy.
Also, the nutrition courses that Je has for us on the client center really help inform you about healthy eating and lifestyle choices. After making necessary changes to my diet I have seen great improvement to my appearance and mood.
When I first started out I was at 163 pounds and by the end of my first Size journey, I dropped about 20 pounds and am 20% body fat now, where I was originally 26%.
I am about to start my second body transformation journey with Je and I am so excited to see what type of training she puts me through! I can not wait to wear a bikini and not have any reservations whatsoever—and I’m not far off!

As a former athlete, I have had trainers before but working with Jé was a dream, her kind heart and commitment to her clients is unmatched. Throughout my journey at Battle Fitness I lost 40lbs which was about 5% of my body fat, and I gained muscle in places I never had before! As someone who has struggled with trying to lose weight my entire life, I have never achieved results so dramatic and long-lasting until now. This journey has helped me to feel both comfortable and confident in my own skin.

Before joining Battle Fitness I had always been overweight. My mom had be trying diet after diet throughout my childhood.

After reading reviews of what people claimed Battle Fitness had done for them I thought a body transformation journey may be a good fit me and I was right! During my consultation, it was evident the Jé was motivated, very educated and extremely invested in her clients so I signed up that day. As previously mentioned, I had done the trainer thing numerous times. The thing with trainers is, they are exactly that…trainers. They help train you, however, Battle Fitness helped to provide me all the tools I needed in order to be successful for the rest of my life. I learned skincare to help my skin stay tight while losing weight. I learned the types of workouts to do based on my goals. Most importantly, I learned how and what to eat based on the kind of foods I enjoy which not only helped me achieve my goals but also allows me to use those skills for the rest of my life.

Over my transformation I noticed muscles in my back for the first time! I dropped 3-4 dress sizes and everywhere I went people noticed the results, which felt incredible. But the most important thing was the difference in how I feel. I feel happy, full of energy, and confident! It is awesome and I could not have done this without Battle Fitness.

Though she is serious about achieving goals, working with Jé was fun! I loved celebrating my on and off scale victories with her. I would send her pictures of clothes that I finally fit into or ones that became too big. Without fail Jé would be ecstatic and celebrate with me. The relationships that Jé builds with her clients is incredible, you will not find someone so committed to not only their clients' health and fitness but their life as a whole. She really goes above and beyond and creates a small family in the studio. Working out as a group at Battle Fitness we struggle, persevere and celebrate together. There is nothing like sweating, laughing and dancing it out with the incredible people at Battle Fitness. I can truly say if you sign up for a body consult you will not be disappointed.
