RF Fitness About Us

About Us

Crystal James, raised in Hampton Roads, VA, now resides in Richmond, VA. Her first love was track and field where she continued through college. After settling down and raising a family, Crystal completed a body and soul transformation with the help and support from her family and personal trainers. The connection was real and she shifted her focus to health and fitness. Weight training became her therapy and newfound passion.

Being a wife, mother, student, and full-time worker Crystal had life happen.  A sufferer of Poly Ovarian Cyst Syndrome (PCOS), weight became a real issue after college very fast, and all of a sudden.  She spent years not understanding where the weight came from or how to lose it.  Trying many fad diets and failing she entrusted herself and health to her trainers.  They taught her everything to build a lifestyle of health and wellness.  Through that support and love, she succeeded. Starting her journey at 200lbs and a size 18 and continuing her journey after losing 70lbs and a size 4, she found her love....helping others through her unique 1st hand experiences.

Crystal wants people that need and want help to have their own version of her success story.

Our Story

"I know what it is to feel every step of the process, the self-doubt, the others judging you and tell you what you should look like."
"I know what it feels like to have every part of you hurt, wondering if you will ever feel fit or lose the weight.  But I also know what it feels like to make it and keep it off."
"I know what it feels like to fall in love with one's self, being proud in one's self.  To Rediscover One's own idea of a healthy life and look."
"And now I get to want to share it with others.  I want to teach others how to live, lose and go.  I don't want forever clients I want to give forever lifestyles so people can go out and apply what they have learned while with me and be, feel and look great!"
