I joined JSA the day it began. Loved it to start with. But it is so cliquey (whilst pretending it's the complete opposite).
It used to be great to debate all aspects of fitness. Now, if you disagree with one of the 'in-crowd' you're just laughed at and abused.
Most hideous of them all -
*Pippa.
Queen bee of creating a clique whilst acting like she's Mother Fucking Teresa. Spent the start of JSA telling us in every single post how amazing her husband was and her best friend. Overnight decided he was a 'fuck, no', divorced him, left her steady decent job and set up her own business spouting nutrition and self-help shit she learnt in a very short space of time and now lives with her dad. Thinks she's hot as fuck and spends every live video pouting and flicking her hair. Tried to shag anything that moved prior to COVID and actually called HERSELF a fox. She's old enough to be most people's Gran and has piled the weight back on. And those eyebrows!
She's a shit stiring madam and very active in seperate WhatsApp groups. If you're not 'in' with this one, don't bother entering a challenge.
*Donna and Steve Page.
Mental. Thinks everyone loves them.
She's bipolar, acts like she's doing okay but has crazy eyes and clearly is unstable as fuck.
He's on the spectrum or something and gives off weird psychopath vibes.
Both post long, rambly posts about how great they're doing, try to 'empower' others etc etc which are cringy to the extreme.
Their daughter also joined for a while but was clearly the product of two people who should never have had children and suffered mental health issues herself because of them.
Push themselves in every challenge to win. Post all the way through how great they feel. Then weeks afterwards do another post saying that actually, it was unhealthy and was making them ill. No shit! Everyone else could see it. Don't need you to do an 'emosh' post to tell us!
Tells us all their transform is for life but strops off when they don't win a challenge....
*Ruth
Another unstable member.
Had a good job, travelled the world, had money. But was in an abusive relationship. Good for her as she left an abusive relationship behind. But left with nothing.
Came back to UK and spends majority of her time posting slightly deranged videos of her dancing in public, parading the streets in her underwear and heels "to empower women" and other random shit.
Gives gerse7
Lives a transient lifestyle in a hostel. Hooked up with a class A drug user. Doesn't get a full time job and at about age 40 decides to study music at college! And in all of this decides their life is perfect enough to try for a baby. Which means all of JSA are "go Ruth, you'll be a great mum".
*Amber.
Serving Police Officer. Only been in a few years.
Acts like she's only officer in the UK.
Plows in whenever anyone has anything needing remotely criminal advice, often wrong.
We know what force she works for.
Posts photos of herself in uniform (disciplinary offence for police) followed by photos of her nude in high heels etc (again, disciplinary).
*Lee Hardy.
Won a previous challenge.
Utter cunt.
Spent his entire time focused on his transformation, forgetting he had a wife and child that needed looked after too. It was all about eating right, training and spending every waking minute on Facebook.
Got a big head and thought he was a celebrity. Dumped the wife and kid, stating that she couldn't handle he'd changed (in to a cunt). Became a part-time Disney Dad.
Tried to shag his way though the group on meetups.
Was a sexual predator and wouldn't take no for an answer.
Made a half arsed apology for getting too big for his boots and left the group to 'concentrate on himself'. Tried to be a celebrity fitness guru. Failed.
Now another loser trying to be instafamous.
There are so many more but I can't be arsed. I'd be here all day.
There are so many WhatsApp groups behind the scenes planning and egging each other on.
It's the same names all the time winning challenges, organising meetups (where you'll be sidelined if you aren't one of Pippa's chosen few).
Nobody can think for themselves.
James reads a book. Everyone else wants to read that book too.
James does BJJ. Everyone else wants to do that.
James does live vids. So everyone else thinks we want to sit and watch them, a complete stranger who slightly deranged, do a live vid too. NO ONE CARES. YOU'RE NOT FAMOUS OR INSPIRATIONAL.
Etc etc.
Heaven forbid someone goes out and finds their own inspirational books to read. It's the same 5 books every recommends each time!
You'd be amazed how many people in JSA followed his 'if it's not a fuck yes....' bollocks and left marriages, shagged around, left stable jobs etc etc just from that one sentence. Honestly, so many did it. I wonder how many now regret it and wish they'd kept their old lives. Or if they're still desperately trying to convince themselves they are happier now having left long-term relationships, are only part-time parents, don't have a pension, are fat again and are now self employed with zero backup during COVID!
When there was only a couple of hundred of us, it was okay (but FAR to sexualised, with women going along with the inappropriate behaviour to look like 'fun' and non-prudes). Now it's just become the thing it always said it hated.
They made a mistake not kicking people out the JSA Facebook group when they weren't paying members anymore. Now it's 25k+ too big. Too many Billy Big Bollocks all thinking they're nearly famous because they get a few people encouraging them to post cooking videos (Coops), daily inspro vids (menopausal 'foxy' Pippa) and mental crazy eyed encouragement vids (nearly everyone else!).
I still think the JSA site itself is decent in respect of it's content.
And he made me finally learn about how basic this stuff all was and to ditch the fads.
I can't knock him for that.
This 'be kind' bollocks has spawned tens of thousands of people in to thinking they are going to be famous because they get 20 people comments on one of their posts that they're a 'legend' when what they don't realise is 200 people think they're a complete twat but darent say it for fear of being called a bully.
thanks!
clearly been copied and pasted and not read my notes properly!
. Wow eye opening she’s not the strong independent lady she seems based on what I heard there
