It's that time of year again

The Holidays are here, and for most of us this time of year means friends, family and food, food, food... followed by New Years Resolutions.  The most common New Years Resolutions are, Diet and Exercise.  For my profession this is AWESOME; However, people go about it the wrong way. They decide they are going to try some crazy, impossible diet or whatever the latest "fad diet" may be...and trust me there will be some new ones popping up soon.  I'm sure there are many people out there that have found a program that works for them and have made the lifestyle change.  But for most of the population, it's a super fail.  Don't be a victim to "fad diets" or weight loss/exercise gimmicks (ie the shake weight).  The following videos are all you need to know about losing weight, getting fit and living a long and healthy life.  

I train to get me here....

Every workout brings me one step closer to my goal... the Crossfit Games.  I have found my new sport, and I am prepared to do whatever it takes to get to the next level.



What's your next level? What are you willing to do to get there? Make it happen!

Take on Challenges

"The end is never the end. A new challenge awaits. A test no man could be prepared for. A new hell he must conquer and destroy. A new level of growth he must confront himself. The machine in the ghost within. This is the journey of the man on the moon." - Kid Cudi "Up Up & Away"



This is my new Jam...till the next one.

Titia Arledge's Before and After

Titia is one of the greatest women I have ever met.  She is selfless, generous, strong (physically and mentally) and has the BIGGEST heart.  She always showed up with a smile and ready to work, and she worked HARD.  I feel honored that she chose me as her trainer. She definitely made me look good!

Titia's Testimonial:

Personal training with Jessica has and will continue to uplift my self image and confidence and instilling a positive body image that I have never known and most of all to set and reach athletic goals I would have NEVER thought possible in my lifetime.  As an accomplished athlete herself, Jessica positively encourages, diligently instructs and creatively challenges my physical abilities to levels I never could have achieved on my own!  Jessica has given me the tools I need to build lean muscle mass, which definitely “takes up less space” in jeans going from sizes 16-18 down to a size 6!!  The phrase “…oh she is just big boned” no longer applies as the excuse for my excess weight, nor does “…oh for a tall girl she carries her weight well”.  With Jessica, a very disciplined role model and understanding support, I whole-heartedly decided to break those limiting words; maximizing the resources she provided and began my journey of combining great nutrition, regular training and a heart rate monitor that showed me the calories I was burning, all 42 pounds!  Regular workouts with Jessica has set me on a path from a person who had no regular exercise at all to becoming an avid cyclist with century rides, a duathalon and one triathlon all within the first year and half of training with her.  

Thank You Titia for all your hard work and dedication!
