"Previous
to Jessica, my workout experience had not been very effective and I found myself
doing the same old thing without any drive. Jessica brings a tremendous amount
of enthusiasm, energy and experience to the workouts. I am consistently and
constantly challenged by new exercises. The variety of exercise and the balanced
approach Jessica created has helped me in finding new ways to challenge myself.
I am amazed at the time and care she puts in to ensure I do things correctly and
get the most value from the exercise. Jessica has enabled me to do things I was not able
to do before and I believe she has created a much more energetic and happier me!
I wholeheartedly recommend Jessica for all she has done for me and for her energy,
professionalism, knowledge and enthusiasm!"
~Chris Shand~ Potomac Falls, VA
"I have
been training with Jessica for 3 years now and what separates her from any
other trainer, other than her mad skills, is how much she genuinely cares
about her clients. Over the past 3 years, Jessica has been my trainer and
my friend and has cheered me on in my fitness achievements like she was a
member of my family! Jessica has seen me through the evolution of my fitness
goals using her tools, her knowledge, and, most importantly, her unending
understanding and support both physically and emotionally. She's an excellent
trainer and an excellent person!"
~Danielle Franco~ Potomac Falls, VA
"Jessica's
program has changed my perspective on personal training. She is
encouraging and creative. Rather than just pushing me to perform standard
exercises longer or with greater intensity she brings a new paradigm. Jess
challenges me with exercises which include balls, bosu's, and bands that
have me working 3, 4, and 5 muscle groups at once
while I focus on mastering the form and posture of the routine. I find it
much easier to stay mentally fresh while accomplishing a much more complete
workout in an hour. I thought that I had a good workout routine before, but
Jessica has taken it to a much higher level. I am 48 years old and with
Jess, I have dropped from 15% body fat to 13% to 11% while adding strength
and flexibility. I work out earlier than I have in the past but it is
something that I look forward to in the morning. Thanks Jessica."

"If you
are looking for the perfect personal trainer…that would be Jessica
Storm. Jessica will provide you with workouts that will give you the quick
results that you are looking for while making your exercise program so much
fun. Her workouts incorporate strength training, cardio, balance exercises
and flexibility in a variety of ways so that they never become boring.
Jessica’s knowledge, professionalism and credentials are so very impressive,
but her personal attention and her cheerful, caring manner are unbeatable.
Her energy and enthusiasm seem to be contagious as she coaches me to do my
exercises properly and cheers me on to meet my fitness goals. Jessica is an
absolute delight to work with, and I highly recommend her. She is a
fantastic person and an excellent trainer who will design your exercise
program to meet your specific fitness goals. I know that I could never
obtain the same results without Jessica’s guidance, encouragement and
support. Thank you, Jessica, for accompanying me on my journey to become a
happier, healthier and stronger person."
~Marilyn Addie~ Potomac Falls, VA
"Jessica
is a fabulous personal trainer. Not only does she make exercising
more fun, but I get more out of each workout with her than I would
at the gym or with one of my exercise videos because she provides
continuous support, encouragement, direction, and added resistance!
Of course the best part is the stretching session that follows
each workout. I never knew my body could extend so far, and I
feet great afterwards. Thank You Jessica!"
~Kathy Pursifull~ Reston, VA
"Dear
Jessica, you're a wonderful, talented young woman and a real motivator!
Thank you for all you did to help keep me on track and sweating!
There is truly nothing like a workout with you. You're focused
yet fun, the workout is intense but not overwhelming, and the
stretching you provide is one of the best things I've felt in
a long time. I felt "complete" and at peace from it
~ it's a great way to end a session. I look forward to the time
you'll spend getting my husband back on the exercise bandwagon.
With appreciation, Jane"
~Jane Acton~ Reston, VA
"Jessica
is a real joy to work with and brings an enthusiasm with her that
makes working out fun. She always gives me a variety of exercises
that makes what used to be a boring process actually stimulating
and enjoyable. She can always tell me how an exercise is working
for me, and explains the process in simple terms so I can concentrate
on how to perform it without being confused. Jessica has an engaging
personality that makes you want to work hard and push yourself
past what you thought you could do. Of course, it is hard work,
but Jessica makes you want to achieve your goals through constant
encouragement and tips. I have seen results in a short period
and for the first time in a very long time, can see my goals as
something I can realistically achieve. She has a wonderful personality
and always brings a smile with her. I never feel rushed with her
and she makes me feel as if I am her only client. She is organized
and moves the sessions along at a good pace without having to
pause and think of what to do next. I feel as though Jessica has
thought and planned the workout for me each time I am with her.
I would not hesitate to recommend Jessica to anyone looking to
start a program or gain more knowledge as to what they are doing.
The only thing I regret is not calling Jessica sooner!"
~John Yates~ Sterling, VA
"I
am a stay at home mom with two children. I do not like to exercise,
but realized that I needed to loose the baby weight. I loved the
convenience of working out in my home. Jessica's varied workouts
kept things fun. She helped me to shed inches from my waistline
with her amazing core work and pilates movements. I lost 8 lbs
in only 12 sessions…and I did not even have to change my
diet! Jess worked me hard and I got quick results which was just
what I was looking for! She is fun to be around and designed the
workout around my goals."
~ Georgeanne Lyon~ Sterling, VA
"I
taught aerobics for many years, but had to stop when we added
children to my fulltime job. Exercise became seldom and inconsistent,
and I began to have back problems from poor posture and mushy
muscles. After just one workout with Jessica, I knew that she
could help me be fit again. She is knowledgeable, encouraging
and professional. I would recommend her to anyone ready to get
into shape."
~Diana Schick~ Reston, VA
"Jessica's
knowledge and professionalism are top notch. Add in her personality
and enthusiasm, and her way of making that extra effort fun, and
you've got a truly outstanding personal trainer. Very highly recommended."
~Dan Grove~ Reston, VA
"Jessica,
Thank you so much for working with me! You really know how to
push a 50 year old around!! Seriously, I had tried to get myself
in shape for that magic number birthday - 50, and thought I had,
until you came along and showed me so many new and better ways
of keeping and staying in shape. You are very professional and
I felt very comfortable with you in my home. I'm sure you can
help me look forward to my "60th" birthday!"
~ Debbie Maher~ Reston, VA
"I
would highly recommend Jessica Storm for personal training. It
was such a treat to work with her. Her enthusiasm and dedication
to the field was tremendous. She took care to work with me and
was extremely sensitive to the fact that I had hip pain. She gave
me excellent suggestions on how to work around my injury and her
workout was very gentle yet very effective. Jessica is a true
professional and truly takes the time to listen and respond to
your needs. She loves her work and it shows. Thanks Jessica!"
~ Judy Park~ Reston, VA
"I
was determined already to fight the aging process, but working
out with Jessica took me to a whole new level. She presented a
wide variety of movements with very basic equipment that provided
a total body workout including sustained cardio. I lost 2% body
fat and gained 10-15% in strength in six weeks. I had other trainers
before, but her combination of exercises, motivation and knowledge
(not to mention the convenience of coming to my home) has me totally
recommitted to regular, hearty workouts! This was not a "magic
pill"; it took commitment and Jessica to get me there. Thanks,
Jess!"
~Freddi Donner~ Herndon, VA
"Jessica
is fun, positive and encouraging; Jessica is tough; but most of
all, Jessica is the consummate professional. I know if I was doing
all of this on my own I would stop after half an hour but she
keeps me going!"
~Mary Malone~ Potomac Falls, VA
"I've
been working with Jessica for three times a week and feel great,
terrific, and wonderful. Until now, these are words that I haven't
been able to use to describe how I felt since February 2001 when
I was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. Until that time,
I had been fit, slim and had a very high energy level. My treatment
involved 4 surgeries including a mastectomy and removal of 16
lymph nodes. After my lymph nodes were removed, I was given a
list of physical restrictions in order to prevent getting lymphodema.
I was instructed to do some stretching and very low level exercises,
but it didn't seem like enough for me. I felt weak and old, my
balance had become very poor and I just felt as though I were
deteriorating. I made a conscious decision to become much more
physical, to work out and to use my right arm as if I were "normal"
again.
And
then I found Jessica. She has been extremely patient with me,
especially in the beginning, when I couldn't do anything. But
even in those early sessions, she knew how to push me to just
beyond the point where I thought that I could do no more. I am
now doing over 60 push-ups, very tough crunches, all kinds of
weight work and boxing! I have progressed to the point where these
sessions are very hard, but I never feel stiff or sore the next
day because Jess knows how to do really effective stretching at
the end of each session, I sweat buckets of perspiration, but
it all feels so good-and so right for me. It makes me feel so
alive.
There
is no way that I could have attained my new level of fitness without
Jess's guidance, support and expertise. She is very sweet, but
in a very sweet way has you doing really tough things. She is
wonderful. If I could do this, anyone reading this can. If there
is any part of your body that you can move, Jess will make sure
that you move it to the highest level that is possible for you.
I still have a long way to go, but finally I am looking forward
to a higher and higher level of fitness and feeling better and
better every day. By the way, even when I was fit, I could never
do even one push-up. When I go for my next oncology follow up
appointment, when the doctor walks into the exam room, I plan
to drop to the floor and do 20 push-ups! The inches are shrinking
off and people keep asking me if I've lost weight. And a lot of
people are telling me that I look a lot more toned. Most importantly,
I feel so much better-fit and young again and I am now 55. In
the last two weeks, I've noticed that when people ask me how I
am feeling, I have been able to say "terrific" and that
is something I had given up all hope of ever saying again. Thank
you Jess!"
~Paula Kugelman~ Sterling, VA
"Jessica
really helped me integrate fitness as a "must" in my
life. She developed a customized program that kept things interesting
yet challenging. I am not someone who exercised in the past, so
I couldn't believe how quickly I responded to her training! I
sleep better, my energy level has really increased, and I'm overall
a happier person. Jessica is the gold standard for personal training--she
is a consummate pro, a delight to work with, and I can't recommend
her highly enough."

"I've
been training with Storm Fitness for over a year now. My goal
was to begin a fitness program to gain core strength, maintain
my bone density and increase flexibility. Of course turning
40 and wanting to look and feel my best is what really kicked
me in gear! An added benefit of working out with Storm Fitness
is that they mix nutritional tips in with each work out. I always
have a gentle voice talking to me through out the day saying…
"Eat lots of small meals, drink lots of water, don't eat
three hours before you go to bed, think twice before you drink
alcohol, eat breakfast, drink green tea, etc." A long-term
fitness program comes with aches and pains and rehabilitation
from time to time and the trainers at Storm Fitness keep me
moving through it all. Storm Fitness gives me the best start
to my day that I can think of!"
~Leigh Schilling, Cascades, VA~
"Storm
Fitness has been wonderful! I used to go to a chiropractor for
lower back and leg pain, but since I have been working out with
Storm Fitness it is completely gone. With the help of my trainer,
I learned exercises that strengthened my lower back and I am
so grateful because the pain used to interfere with my sleep
at night."
~Renee DeGennaro Cascades, VA ~
"I
have thought a lot about the last year and how far I have come.
I am pleased with the weight loss (22lbs), tone and strength
I have gained, but more importantly for the fact that exercise
has become a ritual for me. No longer is it a chore - it is
something that I look forward to. On days I miss, I don't feel
good about it, but I don't beat myself up about it either. I
just get back on track. This is also a new reaction for me because
before I would say "I am a failure" and use it as
an excuse to eat chocolate. No more! I realize that if I want
the best quality of life I can have as I age, then I will have
to continue this routine of exercising and healthy eating. Thank
you Jessica and Storm Fitness, for your inspiration, knowledge,
support and love during this journey. I for one could not have
accomplished this without you."
~ Winky Burks, Gainsville, VA ~
"My
husband and I are both working out with Storm Fitness at our
home twice a week. We both agree that it's the best thing we
have done for ourselves in many years! Our strength, flexibility
and balance have improved tremendously!"

me up for success. The only thing I regret is not calling sooner!
I would highly recommend Storm Fitness to anyone looking to
get into shape or move to the next fitness level…you won't
find more highly qualified trainers out there…Storm Fitness
is the BEST!"
