Jessica Paris
Instructor
"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear." – Nelson Mandela
Jessica is an Army veteran with 10 years of service, getting out with the rank of Sergeant. Discipline is a key element to her success in training others in fitness and in her every day life, no matter her pursuits. Creativity is also paramount to who she is, in and out of the Pilates studio. Her workouts are challenging while keeping the room light but still energetic. She grew to love guiding others in fitness while being a certified Pole Fitness instructor, which she still actively teaches. “Watching people get stronger, witnessing the transformation in their confidence and self acceptance, overcoming the fear of trying new things or of even the limitations of who they thought they were the day before – THAT’S why I’m a fitness instructor. It’s an honor to be a part of people’s fitness journey.” Jessica completed 500 training hours for her Pilates certification. Outside of Pilates and Pole fitness she is also an active musician. Her original band, Honey Spot Blvd, has been together for since 2003.
