Resume

As I am preparing for this exciting Bootcamp, many people have asked me for some information on myself. I have decided to post a bio to my blog so that people can learn a little more about my background. Please call or E-mail me if you would like to ask any questions. I look forward to meeting you!

Jessica Walters
Personal Trainer

Jessica Walters has a unique approach to her personal training, which is a result of her background in massage therapy, martial arts, nutrition and aerobics. This understanding of anatomy and how the muscles work together, coupled with her discipline and study as a black-belt and her love for healthy eating and fitness have all contributed to her unique approach. This background, coupled with her ability to motivate and inspire others, forms the foundation of Jessica’s training.

Jessica received a degree in massage therapy from the Utah College of Massage Therapy. Shortly thereafter she became a licensed massage therapist. She was among the original instructors when the Arizona School of Massage Therapy opened their doors and taught hundreds of students various modes of massage therapy. She also worked at a high-end salon and spa and ran her own massage therapist practice out of a chiropractor’s office, working with his patients as well as some of her own.

Jessica is a second-degree black belt in Ka-ju-ken-bo and has been training in this art since 2002 with NAK martial arts. Ka-ju-ken-bo is a combination of several Martial Arts, allowing its students to receive the most effective form of self defense, confidence and physical conditioning. Jessica is also an instructor at NAK (www.gotthenak.com).

Jessica has taken many nutrition classes in college and worked with her cousin Chef Brad as his office manager. It is through these classes and time spent with her cousin that she obtained an understanding of healthy eating and building a practical daily menu (www.chefbrad.com).

Jessica is also a certified aerobics instructor. She has taught kickboxing, boot camps, and sculpting, most recently at the YMCA. She has also received advanced training and certificates in fitness.

Jessica loves to work with and inspire women. She is married and has three wonderful children. She enjoys running, hiking, biking, swimming and travel and recently participated in the She-Rox triathlon where she placed in the top 10% of all participants.
