Jessica
Storm graduated from Union College in upstate New York with a
biology/pre-med degree. She started her career with a world-wide
consulting leader, Accenture, where she worked on projects for
large corporations such as Pfizer. Jessica later left Accenture
to be a Project Manager for an internet start-up company. After
just two years with the start-up, Jessica was beginning to realize
that she needed to go back to her roots and explore her passion
for physical fitness. Soon after, Jessica took a big risk and
resigned from her high profile position to dedicate herself to
her true calling, personal training.
Having been a
collegiate athlete with an extensive running background (18+years mid
to long distance running and 10 years of program design; marathon runner
with a personal best of 3:08) and part time trainer,
Jessica was immediately offered a position at the prestigious
personal training facility, Definitions in New York City. During
her time there, with enthusiasm and dedication, she trained a
diverse range of clients from stay-at home moms, business executives,
holly-wood stars, professional athletes and rehabilitation patients.
Jessica worked with clients of all ages, ranging from 10 to age
88. She spent years gearing fitness programs towards their individual
needs, showing them the proper exercises they should be doing
for their body, lifestyle and goals and giving them the power
and knowledge to lead a healthier and happier life through exercise.
In March of
2003 Jessica made the move to the Northern Virginia area seeking
more space and more trees. It made perfect sense for Jessica to
take the opportunity to combine her love of physical fitness,
business skills and her dream of becoming an entrepreneur to start
up her own personal training company. After spending much time
working for other personal training studios, Jessica understood
the type of superior service and high quality training people
were seeking and that she was capable of delivering. She wanted
to start a company that would provide to people what other gyms
and studios seemed to be lacking.
Jessica's
dream was to provide her clients with a top-notch training service
found no where else, the kind of service that delivered world
class trainers and techniques along with great personality, high-class
customer service and FUN. In April of 2003, born from Jessica's
dream, Storm Fitness, LLC opened its doors. Today, Storm Fitness
is a renowned personal training company with exclusive training
styles and techniques. Hundreds of clients have since trained
with Storm Fitness and have had the opportunity to participate
in a one of a kind work-out experience. Just hear what they have
to say!

 Mariana Parreiras, ACE
Certified Personal Trainer
Mariana is originally from Brazil where she says working out is a way of life. She started rigorous dance lessons at an early
age and also participated in swimming, volleyball and gymnastics. It was at the age of 15 that she began weight training and fell in love with it! "It just did more for my body than
anything else I had ever done before, even more than dancing and I became a true 'gym-rat'." Mariana earned an academic scholarship to study in the U.S. at age 20 and quickly learned
what the "freshman 15" meant. She implemented her weight training and cardio strategies to get it all off. This prompted her interest to help others with weight control issues and to
further her education by becoming certified as a nutritional counselor. Besides training athletes and weight loss clients, Mariana also enjoys working with disabled clients. Mariana
believes that the mind and body are all and the same and that you have to learn to love to exercise in order to make it into a lifestyle. She encourages her clients to pursue their
passions and to explore the possibilities that their body can achieve.

Christine McKenna
Christine is an outstanding trainer!
In addition to be being an athlete she is also a superb person. Christine has an upbeat
personality and a positive approach to fitness. I have enjoyed each new training session
more than the previous session because she mixes a lot of different exercises in to keep
things fun and it never gets boring. Her attitude is excellent and I can tell when she
customizes the program on the fly based on how I am progressing - that is a huge aspect
of her style that I really like. With these workouts over the past 3 weeks now, my daily
energy has gone way up and I am feeling great! This has really changed my life and its even
better having such a great trainer and nice person coaching me through it. Christine puts
great effort and care into each session and she is very patient. She is a fast thinker and
very easy to get along with. I would recommend her to anyone who is ready to take their
fitness to the next level and see some amazing results!
~ Johnny Kumar ~ Herndon, VA
When I first contacted Storm Fitness last April, 2007,
I was 52, out of shape and at a turning point in my life. I discovered my cholesterol had climbed to 245
and my doctor wanted me to go on cholesterol-lowering medication. Although my eating has always been fairly
healthy, I have struggled with my weight all my life, I obviously was making the wrong choices both with diet
and exercise. My doctor agreed to give me six months to try to get a handle on things and then be retested.
I didn't want to take medication for something I could possibly manage myself. I consulted with a nutritionist
and found Storm Fitness on-line. I liked what I read on the website and took a leap of faith...I couldn't be
happier with the leap! I needed help with achieving my goals and Christine McKenna has been the key to my success!
Christine knows how hard to push and when encouragement is needed. She is careful to ensure I use the proper
form to get the most benefit from the exercise and to prevent injury. She taught me how to use our equipment
safely and effectively and introduced me to equipment I never considered such as a Bosu ball and even paper
plates (she's very creative)-the workouts are fun and never boring. Since meeting Christine last April, my
life has changed dramatically! I am amazed with the results I achieved by simply making changes to my diet,
working out with Christine twice a week, and walking 30 minutes daily. I am very happy to say that in
November, 2007, my cholesterol was retested and I have brought it down to 188 (no medication needed)! I
lost 25 lbs. and I couldn't be happier...no more aches and pains, I feel terrific and I am making much
better choices (not to mention I'm now a size 6/8)!
~ Diane P. ~ Oakton, VA
Every time Christine and I meet she is prepared with a full
program of exercises (always new stuff...) and she has learned exactly the right way to push me. I can't imagine
at her age it is easy to push an older lady as professionally as she does. I am absolutely addicted to Christine's
workouts and her lovely personality!
~ Joanna E. ~ Great Falls, VA
Mariana Cave
I want you to know how wonderful Mariana is. This training is one
of the most positive things I have ever done to manage my weight. Mariana is professional and friendly. And she has
adjusted the exercises to accommodate my rotator cuff surgery. Thank you for setting me up with her.
~ Mary S. ~ Great Falls, VA
Christine Haas
My self esteem and energy levels are through the roof! I lost 25 pounds and have been successfully maintaining for almost 2 years. I found the program to be fast, easy and fool proof. I didn't have to think about balancing my meals and watching portion sizes. It was all done for me. After years of yo-yo dieting, I finally found a miracle. I am now finally living and enjoying my life again, the way it was meant to be with unlimited passion, energy and fulfillment. My self-esteem and energy.
~ Myra Sarli ~ Lost 25 pounds in the Weight Loss Program
