THE J.B. IN JBEWELl

Jess Botte
FOUNDER & HEAD COACH

Let me tell you, I am no athlete ... I'm a fitness enthusiast, former client and regular person. That's what makes me the perfect person for this mission.

My passion stems from overcoming my own personal battle with yo-yo dieting and emotional eating. I figured out a way to chose wellness while balancing a typical, hectic New Yorker's schedule. I'm living proof that it can be done and I want to share that with you.  I came home from college with the all too familiar "Freshman 15", which in reality was the "Four Year 50".  At five feet tall I weighed in at 180lbs. I was overweight, but moreover I was unhappy. I was starting off my adult life on the wrong foot and I knew it. At the time I wasn't a personal trainer. My first job was in your typical office setting. I commuted into the city from the south shore of Staten Island and sat at a desk all day long. I decided I needed to change. I hired a personal trainer. I lost every pound I packed on in college with straight up hard work. I can't say that I loved every moment in the gym, but I loved the results. I spent the next four years working my 9-5 and keeping the weight off. In fact, I just kept getting more fit. In 2011 I decided to become a Fitness Professional and do for others what my trainer did for me.  If I can do it, then so can you.

My training philosophy is simple - gradual changes over time.  It's not a sexy Get Fit Quick, Abs in 28 Days type of program, but what I do WORKS.

So now, it's time to get motivated and take action.
You've thought about this for long enough.

"I didn't consider myself a gym-goer; I was pretty terrified of lifting a weight as a girl accustomed to (what else?) the elliptical. But I knew I was weak and had to tone up for the sake of general health. Jess surpassed my expectations. Not only did she strengthen me up, but she altered my outlook on health and well-being. I am mentally stronger from our workouts and have confidence for the first time about walking into a gym and getting results for my body apart from others' expectations. Jess is upbeat, resourceful, dedicated and tough when she needs to be, a pleasure to be around when you want to quit. Thank you, Jess!"

I strongly recommend Jessica for anything that requires organizational skills, professional demeanor, sales and marketing experience and excellent people skills. I had the pleasure of being one of Jessica's clients for a year, while she held the title of level 1-3 personal trainer. My client/trainer experience was life changing because of Jessica’s knowledge, expertise and genuine interest in helping me to achieve my goals. Jessica is persistent without being annoying, and above all she gets results. Jessica consistently provided workout plans and goals to keep me motivated and advancing. Her communication skills and visual cues during workouts are excellent. Jessica is supportive and always goes the extra step to help engage and advance her clients in all areas of fitness, from the gym to the kitchen. Again, my time spent with her was life changing and she helped put me on a new level of understanding physical fitness as a lifestyle that well exceeds the 12 months of sessions. I hope to always have the opportunity to work with her, as well as watch her advance in her career. Jessica is an excellent trainer and mentor.

Jess's exemplary people management skills make her one of the best managers I've had the privilege of working for. She puts her heart and soul into providing all of the tools, education, and support that her employees need to succeed. Jess's passion for educating trainers and elevating the level of service given to clients sets her apart in the Personal Training industry. She holds her trainers to a high standard, and does not accept mediocrity or laziness. Jess goes the extra mile, will always be honest, and takes a great deal of pride in her work. I find myself still going to her for advice and motivation, even though I no longer work for her. Could not recommend her more highly!
