We had the good fortune of connecting with Jaalen Jones and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jaalen, can you share the most important lesson you’ve learned over the course of your career?
Understanding how to adapt when major changes occur in the industry and taking advantage of the opportunities that’re presented during the chaos has been one of my most valuable lessons learned thus far.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
RYL Fit (Real-Fit) is an In-Home Personal Training experience that was created to elevate, motivate, and inspire those in all walks of life pertaining to the mind, body, and soul. Redefine Your Limits takes each client through their own individual journey by creating great relationships and harboring trust along the way to allow success to those that commit to the process. My greatest achievement thus far has been being able to survive the chaos of a Pandemic and to be able to learn and grow from the experience. Redefine Your Limits has been a project of mine to give my gift back to the world and change lives in the process.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If I had my best friend come to town then the second that they stepped off of the plane, I’d take them to grab some authentic Jamaican food in Coconut Grove called “Food Zone”. Throughout the week I’d take them for a sunrise run over the Key Biscayne bridge, then grab some breakfast at Big Pink on South Beach. After admiring the scenic views & cuisine in Wynwood, we’d check out Calle Ocho to pick up some Cuban food and coffee. To finish off the week I would plan a 2-day trip down to the Keys to experience the Island Life prior to getting them back to the airport. One of my favorite places in Miami is Oleta State Park, due to the kayaking through the mangrove trees.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Throughout the course of my journey and where I am today in my career, I owe the majority of this to two gentleman: Matthew Joseph and Karim Howard for seeing something in me that I never saw in myself.
