JoJo - Breaking the Cycle — Loss, Food, and the Fight Back

Welcome to the Hybrid Athlete Fitness Podcast — a raw, real member story that feels more like a documentary than an interview, recorded at Hybrid Athlete Fitness in St Albans. In this episode, Stuart, head coach at Hybrid Athlete Fitness St Albans, sits down with Jojo — a familiar face in the gym — to unpack a journey shaped by grief, disordered eating, and the hard work of rebuilding. From growing up in Essex and working in TV production to loss, family illness, and using the gym as both refuge and punishment, Jojo shares the moments that quietly changed everything. The turning point comes when she chooses help over hiding — therapy, a healthier relationship with food, and learning to train for health, not control. Along the way: 55 pounds lost, confidence rebuilt, and a life reshaped by motherhood, community, and personal training support at Hybrid Athlete Fitness St Albans. Honest, emotional, and hopeful, this episode is for anyone searching for a supportive gym in St Albans, looking for personal training, community fitness, or a healthier relationship with exercise — not perfect, just moving forward.
