Who I am

Hi there! I’m Jessica Kelly. Prior to moving to Tampa Florida, I was an owner and CEO of two gyms in upstate New York. I am certified through WITS and AFFA in personal training, group fitness, and nutrition. I'm also a proud graduate of INN (Integrative Nutrition) and FXN (Functional Nutrition Alliance) as a certified health coach and functional nutrition practitioner.

As an owner of two fitness centers, a personal trainer, and a former NPC bikini competitor, I was always focused on training hard, counting calories, and working myself into the ground. After a few years of pushing myself too hard, exercising myself to exhaustion, under-eating, relying on too much sugar and caffeine for energy, I eventually crashed.

I hated that I had gotten myself to this place. I felt disconnected from my body, I was stressed and worst of all, I had extreme digestive issues and experienced bloating all the time.

None of the doctors I reached out to were able to explain why I was feeling this way or offered any help. I had been through several procedures and tests to find an answer, but I left feeling hopeless.



I wanted to get to the root of the cause, not just band-aid my symptoms with medication. I knew there had to be a way to heal myself holistically, through whole food, supplementation, and lifestyle alterations.

So I started researching, reading, and trying different approaches to health and healing. That’s when I enrolled in Integrative Nutrition and FXN Functional Nutrition health coaching courses to get the experience and education I need to dedicate my life to helping people, just like YOU!

I can proudly say, I have been restored to optimal health and I want that for you too.

Since then, I’ve helped hundreds of clients not only GET results, but KEEP them. I’ve transformed my passion for health and fitness into a successful all-encompassing health coaching business.

10 Facts About Me

  3. In my spare time I love relaxing and unplugging at the beach.

  5. Before fitness, I once wanted to be an interior designer. I have a BS degree from NYSID.
  6. I love reading motivational books 10 minutes before bed each night and when I wake in the morning. It sets the tone to fill my head with positivity and self awareness.
  7. My life goal was to live in the south and never live through another winter. In 2020 my dream came true. NY winters are brutal, and I'm excited to spend Christmas on the beach this year.

Why hire a health coach?

A health coach is your number one supporter, listener, and guide. Pealing back the layers and putting the pieces together for you, a road map, per se. Designed to help you navigate your bodies healing system so you can regain optimal health and get the desired outcome you want.

Examples of what we can work on:

  • Fueling yourself with whole/nutritious foods

ONE-ON-ONE COACHING

This is your chance to get a completely customized plan, developed with your health history, lifestyle, desires and specific goals in mind.

Have you tried all kinds of crazy diets, cleanses and resolutions on your own, but just never seem able to stick with it? Of course you have and it’s not sustainable. That’s WHY you’re here. Let’s partner up and make it a lifestyle change! it might be time to partner up!

As your health coach I will both motivate you and hold you accountable. We’ll get clear on your goals together and I’ll share practical, tangible tools and educational materials – because I believe knowledge is power and that change can happen once we really understand WHY.

Why? Because it’s harder to go at it alone and so much more fun when we do it together. The 50-min, one-on-one coaching sessions will be conducted in person, over the phone or via Zoom. Below is a list of coaching options that I offer.

TESTIMONIALS

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT ME

  • Katie Lynn
    The success that I had gained was not about numbers on a scale but what I was able to achieve in another way. I was able to lose an entire pants size though and regain my confidence. An important lesson I learned is that the scale does not determine progress. The knowledge and support that I was given through this program has helped me feel I could maintain this type of eating and working out for a lifetime.
    Katie Lynn
  • Tracey Baldwin
    It has taken me a long time to realize that your health can not be measured by the weight on a scale. You cannot judge your life by that number! We have all judged ourselves by that number. Jess has taught me that it’s NOT about that number! Trust me it has taken time, I have my ups and downs, but I have stopped judging myself based on that number. I look at my accomplishments now and at the muscles I did not know I had.

  • Steve Lynch
    The Live The Lifestyle program changed my life – three months later I am still on the meal plan and going to the gym regularly to work out. I’ve lost 35 pounds and gained a new outlook on life. Don’t be intimidated – you can do it! You have NOTHING to lose and EVERYTHING to gain.

  • Colleen Vasile
    Because of everything I’ve learned and experienced through Jess Kelly’s guidance, I can without question say that I am a changed person. Things that 4 years of college didn’t teach me. Lessons that pertain to the gym, but also to life. I’ve been taught that tough times don’t last and that as long as you STICK WITH YOUR GOALS, there is no reason in the world you won’t see success. No matter how slow, if you just keep putting one foot in front of the other, you CAN climb a mountain or run a marathon. You don’t have to be the best, the fastest, the strongest. Just the most CONSISTENT, and the most PERSISTENT.

    Jess saw what I needed and helped me. When our training sessions were going downhill and my once strong self was failing, she stepped in. To be honest, I didn’t think I would ever feel good again. I was training hard but gaining weight and struggling with major inflammation and back issues. I’ve been following meal plans she has tailored for me since January, and so far the results have been just amazing. She not only helps get your health on track but your mind in the right place. I could go on and on but the proof is in the results. I am happy and healthy again. I truly never thought it was possible. Amazing how one person can change that!! I couldn’t be more grateful.
