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 (16+years
mid to long distance running and 6 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!

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
Luis Figueroa
I've been working with Luis for 3 months and am pleased with the process
and the results. I decided to begin working with a personal trainer
after starting and stopping an exercise regimen on my own a few times.
I was ready to shed some pounds, get back into shape and do it in a way
that was sustainable. Since I wasn't making great progress on my own I
decided to inject more discipline and support and took the leap to work
with a personal trainer
Luis has a great attitude, is easy to work with and keeps my workouts
interesting and challenging. He knows when to push to get me to do
things I'm not sure I can do. I work with Luis two days and week and he
gives me "homework" suggestions for what to do on the other days. I've
lost weight, gained muscle, and improved my endurance. I'm developing
better eating habits and I feel better. What more can I say than, it's
worth the investment... and Luis, keep pushing me so I can continue to
make progress.
~ Brenda W. ~ Falls Church
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
