About #2 – Our Shared Journeys

Hi! I’m Jessica Strong, your certified personal trainer, fitness, and class coach in New York City

I left corporate America to commit 100% of my time and effort to grow a business built by my passion. Fitness is not only about how you look on the outside but the strength within to walk with confidence and have the tools to live a long, healthy, and purposeful life.

Who We ARe

I am a certified personal trainer and group fitness instructor whose passion has grown and evolved for over 10 years from childhood gymnast to an IFBB bodybuilding champion, to group fitness instructor and now lifestyle fitness coach. It has been a long and ever changing ride but I found my purpose, learned self-discipline and grew self-confidence in my skills and knowledge in the process.

I have refined my strategy to provide the desired results for any client. I will teach you how to discipline your mind and body while having fun and building confidence, too!

I left corporate America and fell in love with this industry because of YOU. Your transformations through mind, body, and soul are the reasons I do what I do!

Join my fitness programs and change your lifestyle too!

I know what you’re going through

I’ve been there myself and I have worked with hundreds of people to help them develop healthy relationships with food and their bodies.

You don’t have to spend all of your time and energy worrying about food and your body. With my help, you can say goodbye to endlessly dieting, and hello to peace and balance around food and movement. You can finally have the mental space to do great work, take care of yourself, spend time with your loved ones, and rediscover the joy of eating.
