PROFESSIONAL TRAINER, MANAGER
DARLENE SMITH
After losing weight and gaining it back multiple times I decided to that I needed to take
control of my health. I started by going to my doctor for advice. Leaving the doctors office with
only one suggestion which was to eat less. So, I began my own research to figure out what was
happening to me.
Through my research there were correlations between my weight gain and signs of
menopause. With this information I had concluded that due to the systems of menopause and
my unhealthy lifestyle. This was the reasons for my weight gain amongst other things.
I came to Iron Jox under my fellow peer James Grace. With his constant encouragement
my goal for weight loss was achieved. Along with weight loss something far greater had
occurred. My passion and desire for personal training grew.
I specialize in training women through the various struggles of menopause, weight loss
for women and men, strength training, nutritional guidance and recovery.

PROFRESSIONAL TRAINER
MELISSA GRUMBLING
For years, I struggled with anxiety and depression with a firm belief that it was all stemming from being overweight. It was such a severe thought, that at times I no longer wanted to live. One day I told myself “you have one last chance, you have to do something about yourself.” I reached out to Iron Jox and I haven’t looked back since. I lost the weight that had burdened me for so long, but I also developed strength, confidence, courage and finally... happiness.
I fell in love with weightlifting and the barbell. I loved the way I felt when I was moving a barbell. I felt so powerful, so confident, and finally so calm. My world quieted down. Now I look at the barbell as “life” it will be hard, it won’t go as planned and you will fail, but the barbell doesn’t care. You can decide to pick it up, get stronger and build a positive lifestyle or you can decide to leave it. The opportunity is right in front of us, all we need to do is pick it up and start grinding.
Now, I look forward to helping others with empowerment, encouragement and motivation to change their lives and become the best version of themselves.
