Welcome back, Fit Body Lifers! In this special episode, Jami and Greg sit down with Coach Drew Brannon and introduce the radiant Coach Allyson Spungin, who’s stepping into her new leadership role at Fit Body Fusion. This conversation isn’t just an introduction — it’s a celebration of resilience, reinvention, and the beauty of pursuing purpose through every pivot life throws your way.

Allyson opens up about her inspiring journey — from her early days as a dancer with a passion for hip hop to teaching fitness classes and carving out her space in the competitive fitness world.

Through laughter, honesty, and real talk, Allyson shares how trauma, perseverance, and a love for movement shaped her career — and how every chapter prepared her to guide others toward physical strength and emotional freedom. Jami, Greg, and Drew bring their trademark warmth and humor, teasing out insights on leadership, self-belief, and the heart behind Fit Body’s evolving coaching model.

This episode reminds us that fitness isn’t just about the body — it’s about resilience, reinvention, and the courage to keep showing up. Allyson embodies that spirit fully, and her story is a testament to what’s possible when passion meets perseverance.
