HAPPINESS IS…
HELPING OTHERS
By Jazz Jones
I was fortunate to be born into a healthy lifestyle
and learned as a child the benefits of making
good food choices and being active. However,
about four years ago when I lost a friend, I
realized I needed to make some additional
lifestyle changes. It was pretty simple at the time.
I had gained a significant amount of weight (for
me), and I was determined to fit into my jeans
again. It took off from there.

I’m a bootcamp instructor and personal
trainer at No EXCUSES Personal Training and
Bootcamps in Florissant, Missouri because
I know personally, how it feels to reach and
surpass a goal. I want others to have that feeling
and sense of achievement. It fuels my soul and
makes my heart explode with joy when I see
the look on clients’ faces when they’ve dropped
those first few pounds or completed a workout,
and they tell me how amazing that soreness feels.
I always had “jobs” in the past. Now I have a
career that I’m in love with and can say truly
with all my heart and soul this is what I was
meant to do. I’ve always helped people, but now
I’m actually making an impact on their lives and
that’s what gives me peace of mind. I go to bed
with a smile on my face and wake up fueled with
positive energy and that same smile.
