Edgy Girl Fitness was established in 2013 by health enthusiast, Fatimah Ray. Since the tender age of 6, Fatimah has nurtured her love for fitness, personal training, and self-empowerment. As chance would have it, Fatimah was given the opportunity to merge her passion with a profession when she began working at LA Fitness in 2006. Her strong work ethic, knowledge of the whole body, health, and vivacious personality aided in becoming the Assistant General Manager within the first year of employment, and later the General Manager for Snap Fitness Ellenwood in 2010.
In 2013, Fatimah entered the world of bodybuilding and competed for the first time in the category of Figure and received her SNBF Pro card and won several SNBF pro shows. In 2014, she joined a bigger league and became a member of the National Physique Committee and competed in 13 bodybuilding competitions, winning several Overalls Titles in Open Figure and placing first place in three different categories. In 2016, Fatimah won 1st Place in Masters Figure & 1st Place in Figure Open Class D at the Lee Haney Games. Fatimah is also an IFBB Bikini Pro with IFBB League.
After getting saved 3 years ago at Tabernacle of Praise Church International in McDonough Georgia, God spoke to Fatimah and said he wanted her to focus on him and open Edgy Girl Fitness Studio. She was at a point in her life where she wanted to combine her passion of personal training and empowering women in order to start a business instead of continuing to work in the radiation oncology department at Emory. Fatimah had been training as a bodybuilder in her spare time and had also taken on clients from her church as their personal trainer. She put competing on hold in 20I7 as she stepped out on Faith leaving her job at Emory Healthcare to pursue her dreams as an Entrepreneur. She said that was the best decision that she had ever made in her life. She’s doing what she loves every day helping other women get Healthy and never giving up on themselves or their dreams!! Three years have quickly passed and Edgy Girl Fitness Studio is still going strong!
