Jessica Bender

This week’s trainer spotlight is Jessica Bender. She works from both our La Plata Studio and World Gym locations. She’s a popular instructor in our corporate wellness program and has taught in our fitness program at the Senior Center. The rest of her bio follows:

Jessica has been active her entire life. Since her father introduced her to running at age 10, she has nurtured her passion and intrinsic drive to run. Her running has ranged from an early enjoyable hobby to success as a competitive runner in Cross Country, track, and local running events. To keep a balance, she also engages in activities like basketball, weight training, gymnastics, and mountain hiking. She has a true love for nature and prefers doing activities in the great outdoors.

Jessica has an honor’s Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Maryland, with a focus in medicine. She is a certified Personal Trainer from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and is also certified in blood-borne pathogen training and CPR/AED. She has a substantial academic background in anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, neuroscience, and biology which all serve her well, as she also works for two emergency care facilities and an urgent care clinic. She hopes to take all her knowledge and skills she has obtained, enroll in graduate program, and become a successful Physician Assistant.

Jessica enjoys training all types of clients, from young to the more mature. She closely relates with obstacles that women have to overcome to achieve their fitness goals. Of course, if you want to learn how to run better or train for a specific running event, she would LOVE to help you. She knows that true fitness is attained naturally, starting with a great plan, and then dedicating yourself to the work of reaching your goals. This carries over to emotional health too, as you can only feel as good as the body is willing to let you. A balance of good nutrition, exercise, enjoyment, and sufficient rest is the magic elixir for a great attitude and having the ability to conquer the challenges of your daily life.
