What do you love about SOF/What does SOF mean to you?
I love how genuinely friendly everyone is; we all truly enjoy being around one another. It really is a close-knit group of people who want to better their health!

Favorite Exercise: Rear Foot Elevated (RFE) squats
Least Favorite Exercise: Trap Bar Deadlift
Who do you look up to and why?

Favorite Healthy Snack: Vanilla Greek yogurt with granola and fruit.
Guilty Indulgence: Homemade baked goods, especially chocolate chip cookies.
What do you do when you are not at the club?
Keeping myself in shape, keeping my dog out of trouble, baking, and shopping!

TESTIMONIALS
"I began training with Jessica in June of 2011. Over the last year, Jessica has instilled in me a new sense of belief in myself and helped me become stronger than ever before. Jessica is passionate and encouraging and knows just when to push you a little further. She is incredibly patient and brings a hands-on approach to her work; she always asks how I am feeling- am I sore, tight, or injured? She never hesitates to show me a stretch to help loosen up, or help me perform a modified exercise if necessary. Jessica has also worked with me to set various fitness goals over the past year. She helps you set attainable, incremental steps that set you up for success! Because of her commitment and confidence, I hope to soon be able to complete an unassisted chin-up for the first time in my life. I train with Jessica at 5:30am, and even at that hour she is energetic and has pep in her step - I always leave the gym after our training session with a smile on my face, knowing I can take on the day ahead! Whether you are considering entering a gym for the first time, or are a seasoned athlete, Ms. Stewart will happily be your partner as you set, meet, and exceed your goals!"
