Storm Fitness Testimonials

"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."
~Mike Scott~ Great Falls, VA

~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."
~Kristin Taylor~ Sterling, VA


 





"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!"
~Mary Malone, Potomac Falls, VA~

"I am a stay at home mom with three children. I loved the convenience of working out in my home. Storm Fitness has varied workouts that keep things fun. They helped me to shed inches from my waistline with amazing core work and pilates movements. I lost 8 lbs in 12 sessions and felt great - I slept better at night and suffered less aches and pains. The trainers are the best in the industry and have the highest professionalism! The workouts were designed around my fitness abilities and goals which set 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!"
