Bio
Jess has a strong background in Sports and Exercise Science, which she has applied primarily to gymnastics coaching and club management up until 2026.
Sports, health, and fitness have always been central to her life. Growing up in the UK, Jess competed in gymnastics throughout her youth before transitioning into coaching after experiencing chronic fatigue. At the time this flipped her world upside down as she had been training 16 hours a week, however, the world works in mysterious ways, and she overcame this setback by keeping opportunistic. This led her to obtaining her coaching accreditations and set up her future career. After completing her university studies in Sport and Exercise Science and Physical Education, she took a gap year to travel around Australia. While living in Sydney, she met her husband whilst working at Rebel Sport.
To extend her stay in Australia, Jess was sponsored as a gymnastics coach—an opportunity that allowed her to truly immerse herself in the sport, its community, and its governing body. She coached high-level athletes, discovered a passion for Kinder Gym, and presented workshops and clinics for Gymnastics NSW.
After welcoming two little boys, Jess decided to shift her career focus towards achieving a healthier work-life balance. She’s now excited to continue sharing her lifelong passion for health, fitness, and sport working with Longevity, aiding the team of amazing Exercise Physiologists to help deliver exercise prescription to enhance and extend the lives of all Australians. Having personal experience of long term set backs, chronic illness and not knowing where to start a fitness journey again, especially after having children, Jess understands the emotions of that initial sign up. You can count on her to support and guide you into the journey of Exercise Physiology.
