We had the good fortune of connecting with Jada Watts and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Jada, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
The thought process behind the brand was to help women feel confident in the gym and feeling Unrecognizable in the activewear. I also implemented a community into the brand so women know they are not alone on their fitness journey.
What should our readers know about your business?
I am most proud of the journey it took to get to where I am now. My business is still new and launched in January 2023. In the process of putting together and launching the brand, I was on a weight loss/ fitness journey of my own. This kept me motivated because I wanted to show women that it is possible to become a healthier version of yourself. I wanted to make sure that I was not just speaking on a healthier life style but actually living a healthier lifestyle.
I believe that is what sets me a part from other brands because I know what it’s like to go through the journey of weight loss and to actually document that journey to my community along the way. I wanted to build that trust with them and help others along the way.
It was not easy to get to where I am now from idea to conception. I overcomes many challenges by taking things day by day. This helps so I would not overwhelm myself on the daily. Everyday I had different take to complete to reach the ultimate goal of launching the business. Rebar Balance helped me out a lot with this piece to stay more organized in my tasks.
Some lessons I learned along the way is to never give up on yourself and your dream. Your goal might seem far away but time will past by anyway so always stick to your goals. Stay disciplined and consistent and you will reach your full potential!
I want the world to know that Unrecognizable Fit is not just a brand but a community. Unrecognizable Fit is here to inspire women to love themselves in all stages of their fitness journey. Unrecognizable Fit is here to help women reach their fullest potential and help guide to a healthier lifestyle! It doesn’t hurt to look cute doing it either!
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
One of my favorite taco places in Chicago is called Federales in the West Loop neighborhood! They also have good drinks and music! The WNDR Museum is also a great place to take cool photos with the different art exhibits.
Going Ice Skating down town by the Bean during holiday season is beautiful with the giant Christmas tree they put up every year!
Fulton Market has all the good food spots and it’s nice to walk around in the summer time. Also Oldtown Lincoln Park are nice neighborhoods to visit in the summer.
And don’t forget Lala Palooza music festival in August!
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to dedicate a shout-out to my coach who helped me organize my thoughts and set deadlines for myself to get Unrecognizable Fit launched! Wendell Ceaser at Rebar Balance. He encouraged me along the way and was there when I had questions or concerns about different phases of w creating an LLC. Thank you so much for being their in the beginning stages because it kept me motivated throughout the whole process!
