Our names are Travis and Cyndy Barnes. We’re married and we have overcome a ton of adversity together.
We started Journey Fitness in April of 2013 while living in a FEMA trailer on an unemployment check. We were living in the FEMA trailer because our home had been flooded to the second floor. We had recently purchased this home after Travis came home from spending almost a decade in prison.
Throughout the years we have had to overcome addiction, our own weight loss issues, health problems, most recently a pandemic and having our business shutdown.
