Nia Jax has opened up about her remarkable 100-pound weight loss transformation, crediting pickle ball, Pilates, and a renewed focus on her faith.
Speaking with Chris Van Vliet on Insight, the WWE star revealed the extent of her physical transformation since returning to the company.
Right now it's probably like my fitness journey started 3 years ago. At this point I've lost 100 lbs like since I started. And not a lot of people saw me when I was that big because I wasn't really working here and I tried to stay off the internet. But yeah, this is actually the way I started NXT at when I got hired.
Jax explained how she discovered an unconventional cardio workout through her church community.
When I was trying to lose weight, I got bored with certain cardio and I would just play pickle ball like all day with my church group. We'd go at like 7:00 a.m. till like noon and it was so much fun.
Pilates With Maxine Dupri
The former WWE Women's Champion has also been training with her colleague Maxine Dupri, known for her dedication to Pilates.
She's the workout queen. Pilates princess, she said she is a Pilates princess and I have tried a class with her and it's good because it challenges me. It's so freaking hard. But no, she's incredible fitness queen.
When asked about the significance of losing 100 pounds, Jax put it in perspective with a family comparison.
That's like losing a whole person. I know. My nephew was like I'm 100 pounds. I'm like, I know. I just lost you.
The transformation coincided with a spiritual awakening during her time away from WWE, which she credits for her current mindset and success in the ring.
