My coaching style is Positive Motivating, challenging, and adaptable to your level. My training specialty is functional training that can help you in everyday life. While also getting stronger and feeling better. My favorite way to stay active is by playing basketball and riding my bike. The best part of my job is getting to see people start to enjoy working out as well as seeing them make progress and get results. Something you should know about me is I was born in Nashville Tennessee but went to high school and played college football in Des Moines IA. Did you know… that exercise can improve your mood

My coaching style is "Eat big, lift big." My main training focus is functionality, focusing on movements that are applicable to things we do in our day to day lives. I am always finding new ways to challenge myself. I've done a variety of competitions including powerlifting, strongmen, and a triathlon. Next year I will be competing in my first bodybuilding show (2026). The best part of my job is signing someone up and watching them grow over the months into the best version of themselves. I love seeing the day to day changes that are instilled in my members and the positive impact fitness has on their lives. I have been a NASM certified PT for 6 years now and recently graduated from The University of Iowa with a Human Phys degree.

My coaching style is intentful, motivating, and consistent. My training specialties are weight loss, nutrition, corrective exercise, and olympic weight lifting. My favorite way to stay active and healthy is getting my workouts in every morning. I also enjoy playing almost any sport possible! The best part of my job is meeting all of our members and finding ways to help with their health and fitness goals. Something you should know about me is that I've been in the health and fitness industry for 7 years, starting as a personal trainer at Life Time in Des Moines Did you know… That I was born and raised in Iowa, I spent my childhood mainly in Burlington. My wife and I enjoy traveling as much as possible whether it's hiking or relaxing on a beach. If we're not traveling, we're hanging out at home with our dog and cat!

Working with members to help achieve their goals is what made me realize this is something I love to do. I’ve been a part of the fitness industry for 2 years now and moved up quickly to become an Area Coach of my own clubs. This has shown me that creating an everyday friendship with co-workers and members is one of the best parts of my job! I’m looking forward to growing our fitness community inside and outside of the gym and helping our members achieve all goals!

I am Jess! My fitness journey started 14 years ago as a stay at home mom looking for a way to lose baby weight and get out of the house. I had the crazy idea to start playing roller derby. What had originally started as a fun hobby, turned into an obsession with health and fitness. I am a competitive athlete that currently plays for a WFTDA team, Ann Arbor Roller Derby, ranked 9th in the region and 38th in the world. I have worked in gyms for nearly a decade, both in management and as a CrossFit trainer. When I'm not at the roller rink or gym, you can find me at the skatepark on the halfpipe. Watching people reach their goals and accomplish things they never thought possible is the number one motivator that keeps me going!
