Success With Jess

Neither of them are spring chicks any more. They’re both busy wives and mamas with boat loads of responsibilities and to-do lists a mile long. Some people may look at their naturally thin and small statures and wonder why they would even bother with getting in the gym consistently much less putting in such hard work since they don’t “need” to workout.

Yet they continue to schedule multiple sessions every week. They show up eager and joyful and they CRUSH every exercise I throw their way. And it’s all because, in my humble opinion, they know something that I wish more people could know…THEIR LIFE IS THEIR OWN RESPONSIBILITY.

No one is coming to help make the journey in these bodies on this side of heaven any easier to carry.

So they pay attention. They listen and learn and they are active participants in their existence and therefore, they know that they must WORK to EARN every bit of strength and endurance and resilience that is required for this day and the next. No easy buttons. No magic drug. No short cuts.

Just work and positivity and discipline with a bit of rest and fun sprinkled in the mix.

I appreciate how they don’t stop at just looking good. It’s only a fraction of the bigger picture and they don’t take any of it for granted. I applaud you two for who you are and how you live!!!

In every season there was pain and growth. Where I saw room for improvement, I worked and learned. Even when my heart and mind were set on selfish and sinful things I can see how so much experience and positivity was birthed from that period of time. I'm proud to say that I have the experiences I do in fitness (even if it meant learning a lot of it the hard way) because each struggle gave me more knowledge and insight on what's important to other women like me.

My personal life has had me decompressing for a few years but I'm happy to report that I'm ready to build this tribe again; this time, driven by my newest focus of SELF LOVE.

If you're struggling to find time or motivation to exercise that body during the heavy seasons of life, I have a spot for you! Allow me to guide you through a gentle practice of self love through exercise and help you reach your fitness goals as well as any personal development and mindset shifts needed for your next journey!

I can't wait to see you!

-Jess

She never ceases to amaze me at just how much she can juggle. Wife, mom, bonus mom, career, pregnancy...all very busy and stressful. But she continues to show up and move that body because she knows just how important it is. I've never been big and pregnant so I can't say for certain...But I don't think I could do it all with such grace. Every pregnant woman I have ever trained has left me in awe! I'm so proud of you my girl!

I know there's more that I didn't think to tag, but I hope you all know how incredibly tough I think you are!

When you’re in a funk…show up anyway!

When you’re not feeling your best…show up anyway.

When your tiniest and wildest child is feeling extra frisky…show up anyway.

All of the circumstances don’t have to be in your favor for the outcome to be amazing. If you need someone to hold you accountable to show up, give me a holler and we can make some room for you to be you too!

Melody Butler Savoie, I hope your workout helped to improve your day. I know it did mine. Little Ruby melted my heart with her “rag baby nap time”.

A lot has changed over these last 12 years (especially in my personal life😳) but this remains…you ladies persevere and discipline yourselves everyday for the betterment of your health and your wellbeing. It’s been an honor knowing you and getting to be so close to you. All these years I thought I was teaching you how to live a healthy lifestyle but now I see that it was you who were teaching me. Thank you both for your loyalty and consistency as clients and as friends. I love y’all!

Now is the best time to jump into a group session. The summer has been quiet here at Success With Jess and a lot of these small groups have space for new faces. Come jump into one of these sessions before the back to school rush fills them up. We can't wait to meet you! Give me a call and let me help you get moving!

Living the crazy cat life with these new sweet honeys!
