How This Domestic Abuse Survivor Went From Being Overweight and Depressed to Moving From Paris to LA and Being the First Black Female Gym Owner in DTLA

In episode 34 I interviewed Nadege NDjeBayi. Nadege is a fitness entrepreneur and the first Black woman to own a gym in Downtown LA. Originally, from Paris France, Nadege underwent a drastic transformation when on January 20th 2018 she had a very bad car accident that locked her lower back and caused her to become bedridden. After gaining 40 pounds and losing confidence she decided to make a change. Through intense pain, she competed in fitness competitions in France and won 5th place after just one month of preparing. After working for several years thereafter as a celebrity fitness trainer in Paris, Nadege applied for the “Diversity Immigrant VISA” lottery, granting her the opportunity to move to Los Angeles, where she now resides.

To keep up with Nadege's journey follow her on IG: https://www.instagram.com/nadege_ndjebayi/?hl=en and her gym in DTLA: https://www.instagram.com/themethoddtla/?hl=en
