“Jess consistently pushes me to be better! While I only have 2 scheduled sessions a week, she checks on me throughout the week to see how I’m doing! It is very evident the amount of compassion that Jess has for her clients, as well as knowledge in the field of training. She’s great about meeting her clients where they are at and helping to get them to their next goal. Jess also offers virtual sessions, which are a great option!! Because of her, I have been consistently working out for the longest timeframe than I have in years!! I can’t recommend her enough!”

"Jess is a wonderful resource for a custom fit workout program custom designed for YOU. She goes the extra mile to assess all of your strengths (and weaknesses) and is just a step away, monitoring and giving one on one attention from start to finish! Highly recommend!"

"I love Jess! The attention and personalization she puts into every workout is unmatched. She will literally work around my crazy schedual whenever she can to make sure I'm getting my workouts in...she pushes me to do what I think I can't, and sessions with her are an absolute blast! There's no doubt in my mind that Jess will help me meet my goals, she's just that good!! Can't wait for next session"

Her knowledge in strength training, being able to provide individual workouts and her overall consistency and care is what has helped me to grow in the gym and stay on track with my goals. She makes it fun but also pushes you to work hard to achieve results. Even when you think you can’t, Jess will show you that you can. I am honored to have such a great trainer that has my best interests in mind and cares about my fitness success."

“Jess is great!! We have a great time chatting about our families and making each other laugh while I am working out. She pushes me to become stronger even when I doubt my self.”

Berta Wagner

"Jess is the real deal. She treats you like family and makes every workout a good experience! If you’re looking for more than just a trainer, she’s it for you!"

Cassie Harvey

"I do not like working out in Gyms and I don't like people watching me work out so having a private setting is ideal for me. Being stronger through regular strength training is significantly linked to increased longevity. Jessica is passionate for her clients to have the best chance at success for the personal health journeys. I am a person that does not EVER stick to working out plans I set for myself so I am pleased that Jessica is keeping me wanting to come back for more. I rarely miss a session! 5 Stars from me!"

"My fitness journey has had ups and downs over the years. I have always considered myself to be fairly healthy and active, but never that serious about working out. All of that changed when I decided to give Jess a try as my trainer. It did not take long for me to get hooked into working with her. Jess’ high level of passion, dedication, and expertise was evident from day one. She made sure that I was completing workouts that were catered to my performance and body and I quickly saw and felt results. I felt more energized and stronger than ever, while losing fat and gaining muscle. Jess’ dedication was never more apparent than when I became pregnant for the first time. She made sure that I could safely workout throughout my entire pregnancy, which I am extremely grateful for. In fact, I worked out the day I gave birth. I credit much of my healthy pregnancy to her coaching and support. Jess is an amazing trainer. Any individual looking to achieve their workout goals would be lucky to work with her."

"Jess has made a monumental impact on my fitness journey. Jess has been there since the beginning. She is someone that cares about me inside and outside the gym. Establishing this relationship has fueled my fire to work harder. Her fitness knowledge provides a great workout, variety, and modifications for any level of trainee. She also has a wide variety in food and nutrition, which helped me along my journey, Jess has the uncanny ability to push you just a bit further, even if you don't think you can. I can assure you, you can! There is never a dull workout when Jess is nearby!!"

Angela Oelke

"I met Jess at the gym a few years ago when she approached me about joining her class. Working out has never been my thing and lifting weights was definitely out of my comfort zone, but a friend and I decided to give it a try. Jess is wonderful! She pushed me to try new things and helped me see that I could do things that I didn’t think I could do. She really motivated me to not only push myself at the gym, but to also make healthier choices outside the gym walls. Jess is not only really passionate about fitness but she also genuinely cares about her clients and their success."

“Jessica is the right kind of trainer for me!!! At 82, I'm having a blast! I never dreamed I would be weight lifting 70 lbs!!!! I wanted to get stronger 💪...and it's really happening. Jessica is sooo knowledgeable and caring about getting me to that weight gradually and safely!!! Wow...from 40, then 50, then 60..and now 70 lbs!!! I have a hunch it will be more. I have confidence in her training!! My body is more flexible as well....it's more than just weights...it's balance, lunges, stretching, confidence, posture, fun....overall, it's strengthing for body and mind! Whatever the age, gotta keep that body moving!! I'm two times a week now for 10 months...and will keep on...it's a big part of my daily life. Definitely a way to stay stronger and younger!”

"I was so nervous to start working out with a trainer, but as soon as I walked in, Jess helped me feel at ease. I've been working out with her for only a week but I can tell I'm getting the best workout of my life in each time I go. If you're on the fence about joining, jump in and do it. It is well well worth it."

Jennifer Sue

"Jess had been my trainer for over a year. She is very passionate about fitness and it shows in her training. She truly cares about her clients. Jess often reached out to me to see how I was doing and offered assistance. To me, that goes a long way, knowing my trainer really cares. Jess is skilled in her work, taking the time to get to know me and my capabilities. She tailored the workouts to my needs so I could reach my goal. She knew when I could  take on more, and recognized when I was pushing myself too hard and had me back off. Working with Jess is also FUN! Her great personality brings laughter in the mix and the workouts fresh and rewarding!"
