Jessie
Trainer
Growing up, sport and movement were always a big part of Jessie's life. From CrossFit and swimming to netball, she loved being active and challenging herself in different ways. After dealing with a few injuries, she stumbled upon reformer Pilates — and from her very first class, she was hooked! For Jessie, the Athletic Reformer studio felt like the perfect fit. The energy, the community, and the vibe instantly drew her in, and it wasn’t long before she knew she wanted to become a coach. She’s passionate about helping others feel strong, supported, and confident in their bodies — and yes, she will sneak a few push-ups into almost every workout (they’re her favourite, after all!).
