Co-Owner/Coach & Super Mom Jessica Thomas
Jessica grew up in the small town of Raymond, Mississippi and attended the University of Tennessee… GO VOLS where she received her B.A. in Advertising. Upon graduation, Jessica moved around the country working in pharmaceutical and tech until she settled here in Austin with her husband where she made a gutsy career change into fitness. After managing a small boutique studio in Austin for almost two years, Jess and Brandon have finally decided it was time to take another risk and open their own space.

Jessica’s fitness journey has been a long and hard one. Jessica had struggled with her weight/health since she was young. She was always active in high school playing softball and cheerleading, but college life took its toll. During her senior year she began to get active again and was in her best shape yet by graduation. Her motivation to stay fit yoyo’d through her 20s while she struggled to find a good professional and social balance. She became very unhappy in her pharma career and knew she wanted to work in fitness, but was too scared to make the leap. After having their son, Grayson, and dealing with depression, she decided it was time to make a change both personally and professionally so she accepted a job managing a fitness studio in downtown ATX and fell in love with fitness all over again. Balancing working, being a mom and wife, and personal health is not easy… it takes an immense amount of dedication to feel like you’re truly devoting enough time to each aspect of your life (if that’s even possible). After making the career change, she finally hit her stride. Now at 30 years old, with a toddler, she is truly at her fittest and happiest. She found her passion in keeping her mind healthy by honoring her body and she strives everyday to help others find the same joy even if it’s just for an hour a day!
