We recently had the chance to connect with Remonde Levy and have shared our conversation below.
Remonde , really appreciate you sharing your stories and insights with us. The world would have so much more understanding and empathy if we all were a bit more open about our stories and how they have helped shaped our journey and worldview. Let’s jump in with a fun one: What’s more important to you—intelligence, energy, or integrity?
I believe integrity is the most important of the three. Intelligence and energy are valuable, but without integrity, they can be misused or directed toward the wrong goals. Integrity ensures that decisions and actions are guided by honesty, accountability, and a strong moral compass. In both personal and professional settings, integrity builds trust and respect, which are essential for long-term success and meaningful relationships. To me, integrity is the foundation that allows intelligence and energy to truly make a positive impact.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Remonde Levy, and I am the founder of Levy Nation, a fitness and lifestyle brand built on discipline, growth, and community. With over seven years in the fitness industry, a background as a Division II athlete, and certifications in HIIT and personal training, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people reach their highest potential both physically and mentally.
Beyond fitness, I’m also pursuing opportunities in acting and modeling, which allow me to express creativity, discipline, and versatility in new ways. These experiences give me a broader platform to inspire others, while also opening doors for collaborations that connect health, entertainment, and lifestyle.
Levy Nation is more than just workouts — it’s about creating a movement that develops confidence, builds resilience, and inspires people to transform their lives. From small group training and personalized coaching to teenage development programs, I focus on empowering individuals with tools they can use for a lifetime. Currently, I’m working on expanding into collaborations, events, and mentorship opportunities to reach even more people who are striving to become the best version of themselves.
Okay, so here’s a deep one: Who taught you the most about work?
The person who taught me the most about work is my dad. From an early age, he instilled in me the importance of work ethic and the value of giving my best effort in everything I do. He always reminded me not to procrastinate, to stay disciplined, and to approach every task with care and responsibility. His example showed me that hard work is not just about getting things done, but about how you do them—with consistency, pride, and integrity. Those lessons continue to guide me in fitness, business, and life.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
If there was one thing I could do that was kind to myself, it would be to always remain honest and warm. Honesty allows me to live in alignment with who I truly am, without pretending or forcing myself into spaces that don’t serve me. It means holding myself accountable, being clear about my strengths and weaknesses, and giving myself permission to grow at my own pace. Warmth, on the other hand, is about showing myself compassion—treating myself with patience, encouragement, and grace, especially when I fall short or face challenges.
In a world that often pushes constant comparison and perfection, it’s easy to be harsh on yourself or overlook the small victories. Practicing honesty and warmth helps me stay balanced. It reminds me that being kind to myself is not a sign of weakness but a strength that allows me to show up fully for others. When I carry honesty and warmth within me, I not only grow stronger as a person but also create a positive impact on those around me—whether in fitness, business, acting, or just everyday life.
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. Is the public version of you the real you?
Yes, the public version of me is very much the real me. What people see on the outside—whether it’s through fitness, acting, modeling, or motivational work—is a true reflection of my values, discipline, and energy. At the same time, I recognize that the public only sees certain parts of me. Social media and branding often highlight the wins, the discipline, and the drive, but behind that is the same person working hard, learning, and growing through challenges.
I’ve always believed in being authentic because I don’t want there to be a gap between who I am privately and who I present publicly. Of course, in private I may be more vulnerable, reflective, or quiet, but the foundation remains the same: integrity, passion, and a commitment to helping others. If anything, the public version of me is an extension of the real me—it’s the part of myself that I choose to amplify so I can inspire, motivate, and connect with others.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: What will you regret not doing?
What I would regret most is not fully pursuing every opportunity to live out my potential and purpose. I don’t want to look back and feel like I played it safe or held myself back because of fear, doubt, or comfort. Whether it’s in fitness, business, acting, modeling, or mentoring others, I know I’ve been given gifts that are meant to be shared. If I didn’t give them my all, I would feel like I not only let myself down, but also the people who could have been impacted by my work and my story.
To me, regret comes from inaction—those moments when you had the chance to try, to take a risk, or to step into something bigger, and you chose not to. I would rather fail trying than live with the thought of “what if.” So, what I would regret most is not giving myself permission to dream bigger, go further, and inspire more people through my journey.
