Jaharah, known as Penny Love, is the CEO of Penny Love Fitness, a premier fitness company in Detroit, Michigan. When she started Penny Love Fitness, her main goal was to inspire women of all ages to “invest in themselves” by improving their health through a consistent exercise regimen With an IT (Information Technology) background, she worked with prominent companies as a Cybersecurity Analyst and Tech Recruiter This job has always been a dream come true for Jaharah, but over time, her health began to take a turn for the worse After numerous visits to the hospital for chest pains, back pains, and shortness of breath, she learned that she was a victim of inactivity! Yes, she was “exhausted from sitting” Can you imagine? 1416 hours of coffee and talking caused her health to deteriorate. So, she decided to change her lifestyle and dedicate more time to exercising and moving Once she became an Exercise Enthusiast, she began to talk to others who had experienced issues similar to her condition These women also expressed that a growing financial burden causes additional stress
