Whether you’re chasing a race, building strength, or just craving more energy and confidence — coaching gives you the tools, support, and accountability to get there.

Sure, PR's are fun - but the real win is feeling strong, capable, and connected to your body every day.
Life doesn’t always go to plan — so your training shouldn’t either. We pivot, adjust, and keep you moving forward, even when things get chaotic.
Whether you’re chasing a 5K, lifting heavy, or rebuilding your relationship with movement, coaching blends all three for lasting progress.
You’re not a spreadsheet. You’re a whole human with a job, relationships, stress, and goals that matter. Coaching meets you where you are — every time.
Progress over perfection, curiosity over comparison, and compassion over criticism — that’s how we train.
Your training doesn't exist in a vacuum.
Every lift, run, or rest day lives within the bigger picture of your life: stress, sleep, work, relationships, and everything in between. At Sturdy Girl, we coach the whole human — brain, body, and all — because strength that ignores real life doesn’t last.

We build adaptability, not all-or-nothing.

Going through life as a sturdy girl is just easier. I can lift a 50-pound bag of dog food without help, keep up with my demanding job, and I never take that strength for granted.
My fiancé is jealous of my upper body muscles.

I’ve finished my first triathlon, marathon + 50k while becoming genuinely consistent with exercise for the first time in my life. What I love most is her ability to be both a dream enabler + a reality check.
Jess has completely transformed not just my fitness, but my relationship with training + my own capabilities."
Sarah C.
With Jess, I found a coach who got to know me, my goals, + tailored my program to fit where I was in my fitness journey. She’s been my guide through half-marathon training, 50k prep, + even recovery from an elbow fracture and surgery.
Jess has made me comfortable in my body, and embrace what I can do.

I trust her programming and feel confident candidly sharing what’s working… Together, we co-create training that flexes with my life while building toward my goals... I feel fully supported in every training cycle.
With Jess’ coaching + guidance, I’ve become a more confident + self-directed athlete.
Before coaching with Jess, I struggled with managing loads and volume while transitioning from powerlifting to running. Jess helped me enjoy the process, adjust for real life, and maintain my sanity with lifting and running. Game changer!
I was thrilled to finish my half marathon + keep my strength in the process.
Jess pushed me to set new goals I thought were unachievable, and helped me fulfill every one of them. I feel stronger overall than I ever have before.
I’ve been able to accomplish things on my life bucket list under Jess's training.

Still not sure if this is the right fit? Let’s clear up a few common questions from Sturdy Humans like you.
Do I have to be an experienced athlete to work with you?
Not at all. Most of my athletes are everyday runners, lifters, or triathletes who want to feel stronger and more confident — not necessarily chase a podium. You bring curiosity and consistency;
I’ll handle the programming.
Do I need a gym or special equipment?
Nope! Coaching is customized around your space and setup — whether that’s a full gym, garage,
or living room. We’ll use what you have and still build serious strength.
What if I’m already following a plan or training for a race?
Perfect — I’ll meet you where you are. We can integrate your current training or fine-tune it to fit your goals, schedule, and recovery needs.
How do I know if Coaching Lite or Coaching Pro is right for me?
Coaching Lite is great if you’re self-driven and want structured support without lots of back-and-forth. Coaching Pro is for athletes who want a deeper partnership — form feedback, weekly check-ins, and high-touch accountability. We’ll chat about it on your application call to find your best fit.
Do you give nutrition guidance?
Yes — I offer performance-based nutrition coaching to help you fuel your body and training.
No meal plans, no restriction — just education, skill-building, and support. I offer both macro-based and non-macro based nutrition coaching options -we make sure the plan fits you.
How often will we communicate?
All coaching happens through the Everfit app. You’ll get ongoing messaging, weekly or biweekly check-ins (depending on your plan), and form feedback. In both 1:1 Lite and Pro, we make sure there is a 36-hour response guarantee.
What’s your coaching style?
Supportive, curious, and honest. I’m not a drill sergeant — I’m your guide. I’ll challenge you,
but I’ll also make sure the process feels sustainable and aligned with your life.
Can I switch between Lite and Pro later?
Absolutely. Many athletes start with Pro for the initial high touch support for the first 6-12 months and then transition into Lite when their knowledge and experience means they don't need as much support. This is truly our goal - for you to gain the knowledge and skills to not need us anymore!
