At our gym, we believe movement is medicine. And when it comes to movement, few embody that philosophy better than Coach Jess — an elite-level runner, dedicated coach, and all-around movement enthusiast who helps athletes of every level run smarter, not just harder.
Jess’s journey as a competitive runner has taught her that running isn’t just cardio — it’s a skill. Just like a clean, snatch, or deadlift, running requires proper technique, awareness, and intent. And when those elements come together, it can completely change how your body performs and feels.
When most people think of running, they think of endurance — lungs burning, legs heavy, just trying to get to the finish line. Jess flips that perspective. She focuses on efficiency — moving in a way that feels light, fluid, and sustainable.
“When your running technique is dialed in, every stride becomes an energy transfer, not an energy drain,” Jess says.
Through drills, mobility work, and awareness of body mechanics, Jess teaches runners how to:
The result? You move faster, feel stronger, and recover better — whether you’re running a 5K, doing Murph, or chasing your kids around the yard.
While running is Jess’s specialty, her message goes far beyond miles logged. She believes movement — in any form — is essential for living a vibrant, capable life.
Running, lifting, jumping, rowing — all of it trains your body and your mind to handle whatever life throws your way. It builds discipline, clears your head, and keeps your energy levels high.
“Running teaches you to be present,” Jess explains. “It’s not just fitness — it’s freedom.”
Even if running isn’t your favorite, the principles Jess teaches — posture, rhythm, breathing, and body awareness — apply to everything we do in the gym.
Coach Jess brings a unique blend of elite experience and everyday relatability. She knows what it takes to compete at a high level, but she also knows how to meet athletes where they are — helping them build confidence, efficiency, and joy in movement.

Running is one of the simplest, purest forms of human movement — and under Coach Jess’s guidance, it becomes a skill that enhances every aspect of your training. Whether you’re chasing performance or just want to feel better moving through daily life, running can be your path to strength, clarity, and confidence.
So lace up, step outside, and let movement do what it’s meant to do — make you better.
