💚✨ COACH SPOTLIGHT: COACH MAY ✨💚
Meet Coach May!
Coach May’s fitness journey began over 10 years ago after the birth of her third child. While battling postpartum depression, she made one simple commitment—to get outside and walk every morning. That small habit grew into a lifelong passion for fitness, proving that consistency can truly change your life.
Today, as both a critical care nurse practitioner and coach, she knows firsthand that exercise is about much more than looking good—it’s one of the greatest investments we can make in our long-term health.
💬 Why she coaches:
“My belief in my athletes has to be stronger than their belief in themselves.”
Coach May believes every person who walks through our doors is capable of more than they realize. Her mission is to help members build confidence, create lifelong healthy habits, and discover just how strong they really are.
🏋️ Favorite movement: Burpees—not because she loves them, but because they represent resilience. We all get knocked down in life; the important part is having the strength to get back up.
💚 Favorite ISI moment: Watching members become stronger, healthier, and more confident, knowing those habits will continue to impact their lives long after they leave the gym.
👟 Fun Fact: At just 13 years old, Coach May had the opportunity to work in Nike’s design department, learning how ideas become products.
Coach May, thank you for leading with compassion, believing in every member, and reminding us that consistency changes lives. Your passion and leadership inspire our ISI Arlington family every day! 💚
👇 Show Coach May some love in the comments and tell us how she’s inspired your journey!

💚✨ COACH SPOTLIGHT: COACH VERNELL ✨💚Meet Coach Vernell!
Coach Vernell’s fitness journey began through sports, but over the years it has become so much more than competition. Today, he’s passionate about helping others move better, get stronger, and build confidence through fitness.
From competing in HYROX to coaching middle school athletes, Vernell believes growth never stops. For him, fitness isn’t just about looking better (although that’s a great bonus 😉)—it’s about becoming healthier, more resilient, and setting an example for his family, students, and community.💬 Why he coaches:
“I believe everyone has more potential than they realize.”
Coach Vernell’s philosophy is built on the idea that fitness isn’t one-size-fits-all. Every person has different goals, different strengths, and a unique starting point. His mission is to educate, encourage, motivate, and challenge every member to become the strongest version of themselves.
He believes that when we consistently challenge ourselves, our bodies adapt, our confidence grows, and our mindset changes. Favorite movement: Sled Pushes & Sled Pulls 🔥
These movements test strength, endurance, and mental toughness all at once—just the kind of challenge Coach Vernell loves!
💚 Favorite ISI memory: Watching members accomplish something they never thought they could—whether it’s their first burpee, first box jump, or another personal milestone—and seeing the entire room celebrate right alongside them.

💚✨ COACH SPOTLIGHT: COACH JONA ✨💚
Meet Coach Jona!
Coach Jona has been passionate about fitness since his days as a youth athlete. After college, he realized it was difficult to find a community of people who valued health and fitness as much as he did. That realization led him to pursue coaching—and he’s never looked back.
From Camp Gladiator to nutrition coaching, personal training, run coaching, and now serving as the Head Performance Coach at ISI Arlington, Jona has found exactly where he belongs: helping others become the best version of themselves.
💬 Why he coaches:
“Encouraging others to be their best, live their best life, and stay functional is my calling.”
His coaching philosophy is simple:
Lead from the front and practice what you preach. 💚
Coach Jona believes great leaders set the example. By showing up consistently, living the lifestyle, and putting in the work himself, he inspires others to do the same.
🏋️ Favorite movement: Pull-Ups 💪
Pull-ups weren’t always his favorite. In fact, there was a time he couldn’t do a single one. Instead of avoiding them, he embraced the challenge and turned a weakness into one of his greatest strengths—a reminder that growth happens when we face what challenges us.
💚 Favorite ISI memory: Taking his very first ISI workout... and immediately signing up for another one right after! Since then, one of his proudest moments has been leading the Black Team through Iron 28 and watching members push each other to be their very best.
🌱 Fun Fact: Coach Jona and his siblings were raised vegetarian!
Coach Jona, thank you for leading by example, challenging us to grow, and creating a culture where hard work, accountability, and community come together. Your passion for helping others reach their potential inspires our members every single day. We’re proud to have you leading the way at ISI Arlington! 💚
