Hi, I’m Jacob, your friendly neighborhood Personal Trainer! I’ve been an athlete my entire life, competing in football, wrestling, and rugby. Sports taught me discipline, teamwork, and a love for performance. At 17, I joined the Army, where I built new levels of mental and physical toughness. After serving, I wanted to help others build strength and confidence, so I earned my NASM credential. Growing up in a holistic household taught me that true health is about balance, consistency, and lasting habits. That perspective shapes how I coach today. I focus on proper form and technique to keep clients safe while maximizing results. My approach is simple: small, sustainable changes lead to big results. Whether you’re starting fresh, chasing performance, or building healthier habits, I’ll meet you where you are and guide you every step of the way. Fitness isn’t just the gym—it’s a lifestyle, and I’m here to help you live it.

Hi I’m Virginia! With over two years of experience as a personal trainer and a deep passion for fitness, I am dedicated to helping clients achieve their goals. My journey began six years ago with weight training, where I developed a strong foundation in strength and conditioning. Throughout high school, I was actively involved in various sports and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, which ignited my love for physical fitness and discipline. As a personal trainer, I pride myself on my compassionate approach. I believe that every client is unique, and I am committed to providing personalized support and motivation. My goal is to empower individuals to overcome obstacles, build confidence, and transform their lives through fitness. Together, we will create a tailored plan that not only meets your fitness aspirations but also fosters a positive and encouraging environment. Let’s embark on this journey together and make your fitness goals a reality!

Hi, I’m Theresa Sultan, the Training Manager and Certified Coach here at Tumwater Anytime Fitness! My fitness journey began back in 2013 when I joined an Anytime Fitness “Workout in the Park” event, and I’ve been all in ever since. As first a gym member and now employee, I’ve experienced firsthand how life changing this community can be. I lost 80 pounds along the way and completely turned my life around. Since joining the Tumwater team in 2017, I’ve worked in just about every role – from maintenance and front desk to trainer and now manager. Each step has deepened my love for helping people become the strongest version of themselves. I’m proud to be a 3x Spartan Trifecta holder, and I’m always up for a new challenge. I look forward to connecting with you on your journey!

I’ve been in the fitness industry since 2003, after I earned my bachelor's degree in Exercise Science at Eastern Washington University. I love the body and how it’s interconnected. It’s an amazing creation I am fascinated with trying to understand, and improve its mechanics through strength training, flexibility and agility work, and cardiovascular exercise. I’m a mother to 4 beautiful children, and a wife to a hardworking man. When I’m not doting on them, I enjoy being in my yard or garden tending flowers, shrubs and the hardscapes. The work is never done! Since the covid pandemic, I’ve suffered from replacing my good habits I had before the pandemic, with rather poor choices turned habits. Enough is enough! I’m here to train myself and others to be a better version of themselves, helping to put in the work and achieve an improved physical and mental state through strength workouts, nutrition, and recovery. Come talk to me and tell me your story! I’d love to hear it.
