CrossFit FYR - Julie Jean About Page

 

I always dreamed of opening a fitness facility that could offer fitness for a wide range of people – both beginners and serious lifters.  I wanted a family friendly place with activities for kids to do while their parents workout.  A gym that is comfortable and inviting where all people felt welcomed instead of intimidated.

At 40 years old, I decided to make my dream a reality one step at a time.

I found an ideal location at 101 Production Drive Slidell, Louisiana.  Once I secured the location and, I flew to Fitness Depot in Houston and returned with state of the art equipment.  I assembled a team of certified CrossFit, fitness, and yoga instructors.  Finally, I got to work.

Since CrossFit FYR is focused on family, I created a game room and play room with big windows that divides the 5000 square-foot, climate controlled facility.  This allows kids to see their parents while they do homework, play video games, board games, or simply watch TV.

With the help of many loyal friends and family who believed in me, I created the gym of my dreams – CrossFit FYR.
