After attending hundreds of group exercise classes and lifting weights 3-4 times per week my body was completely transformed. Of course I knew that exercise and healthy eating would help me lose weight, but I was interested in learning more about physiology and how my body works from the inside out. I took short courses in group exercise instruction and personal training, and changed my major to exercise science and nutrition. I began to work as a group exercise instructor and personal trainer in the university health center, gaining experience, and discovering that I genuinely enjoy helping people become healthier and more fit. Since then, I’ve gone on to direct fitness programs at various respected fitness centers, and continued developing my training expertise through certification. I’ve worked with a variety of groups, from general population and kids, to special needs groups like athletes, seniors, and cardiac rehab patients. I love something different about working with each group, and I’m thankful for the various jobs I’ve had because through them I’ve learned to relate to almost anyone. less

Jessica is the reason I attended Kickboxing at the Medical Wellness Center. She is an expert at what she does. Her passion for fitness is visible day in and day out. If there is one thing I miss from the Wellness Center it's Jessica's classes. I highly recommend her to anyone searching for a fitness coach!

I started to work out at the MWC a few years ago and I can tell that Jessica has been an inspiration to me, she cares about what she does and once she knows your strength she will push you to the top and that’s what a coach does. She makes me work hard but at the same time its fun.... She is the best!!!

Jessica is grand. Gym fitness classes make up the bulk of my exercise routine, and I'm glad I found her after moving to Miami - anything she teaches is guaranteed to be fun, effective, and friendly. I have brought a half dozen (or more) friends to her classes, and they always leave happy. It is evident that she is a pro and loves what she does.
She is what you want from a fitness coach. I can't recommend her more highly. Hire her!
