GROUP EXERCISE

Jessica started teaching flexibility and kickbixing classes at the YMCA in the Summer of 2022. She's also a work-from-home legal healthcare claims specialist for a national insurance company.  

Jessica has always enjoyed being physically active, participating in power tumbling, cheerleading, basketball, cross country, and track while growing up.  In her adult life, exercise has been her main outlet to reduce stress and maintain an overall healthy lifestyle.  She firmly believes that exercise does not have to be a chore, but a gift that allows her the mental and physical strength to do her favorite things in life: caring for her family, serving in her church, and raising her garden. 

Christina has been a Certified Personal Trainer and fitness instructor for 16 years. Holding 18 certifications, fitness is at her core. She began teaching Xtreme Hip Hop, RIPPED, and Rumble at the YMCA in March of 2021 and gradually began teaching cardio kickboxing and strength classes.

She's a wife, mother of 2 boys, Pitbull rescuer, and Xtreme Hip Hop International Master Instructor and choreographer. If she isn’t teaching class, she’s exercising outdoors or spending all of her free time with her kids. 

I was born and raised in Maysville. I have been married to Todd for 38 years. We have two great sons, a wonderful daughter-in-law and an adorable grandson! I was a nautilus instructor. when the YMCA first opened. Trough the years, I taught low impact aerobics, step and a pregnancy exercise class. I retired last year and decided to start teaching a power class. I enjoy the structure of the class and the family atmosphere of the class participants! I feel like I have come full circle!
