Just over three years ago my decided she wanted to scratch off a bucket list item of hers and compete in a bodybuilding competition. Little did I know how that decision would change both of our lives forever. Jess was a friend who we knew in that arena, and when she offered to train my wife, we were excited and scared, but quickly grew to appreciate and understand the world of health and fitness more than ever before.

I was only a spectator at the time and helping her meal prep and such but soon found myself eating the same way, and then realizing just how badly I needed to change also. I started hitting the gym every day and eating the things Jess advised and quickly started to see changes in all the right ways!!

Within the last year or so, knowing that I was already basically following her plan, Jess told me she wanted to really work on training with a male and asked if would be interested (and of course I was!) and I dove in. I told Jess that I would never be on a competition stage but she was free to mold me however she saw fit.

 Jess has been an inspiration to work with and always provides exactly what my body needs at just the right time even when I don’t see it. Jess is patient but stern when she has to be and, honestly, with me she has to be stern a lot…….I like to have a few drinks here and there .

However now as I continue to push forward for new levels of health and fitness and also in the best shape of my life,  we have both now realized so much more of ourselves and how Jess has pushed us to be better in more ways than just the gym. Jess is not our trainer, Jess is our true friend, someone who loves hard and really wants what’s best for her friends and those who trust her, and for fun she gets to train them and call them clients too!

Sometimes we don’t always believe or understand why we do what she tells us, and sometimes it’s frustrating to not see immediate results, but I PROMISE YOU, with Jess you WILL get there, you just have to………

TRUST THE PROCESS.
