Meet Jess, Ray of Sunshine

When Jess walks into the gym, you’re guaranteed to get a shining smile and cheerful greeting. It seems like nothing can make her mad (except maybe a Turkish get-up!)

We are so proud of all the progress and success that Jess has had since joining Sunshine Functional Fitness! Her confidence with the barbell and other movements shows and it is an inspiration to new members.

What brought you to Functional Fitness in the first place?
I was doing bootcamp type fitness for a few years and felt that I needed more variety and more weight training. (Also, I actually really prefer functional fitness to CrossFit because I think it opens up to more variety of workouts, is more healing, and is less intimidating.)

What was your first impression? How has that changed?
First impressions: the CLEAN gym and the FANTASTIC programming! I was a little intimidated to begin lifting heavier weights at first, but through thoughtful and incremental coaching, I have become much more comfortable as I’ve gained strength.

What was your first “bright spot or ah-ha” moment?
Seeing actual measurable progress! Also, my body fat has gone down and my strength has measurably gone up. My lower back pain has healed as well. I can do sit ups for the first time in a few years due to my lower back being better!

What are you working on now?
Working on consistency, conditioning, and fine tuning my diet.

What’s your favorite Sunshine Functional Fitness memory?
Working out with my friends and the awesome members of SSFF :)
