Jess Sims
Peloton Instructor
Jess has been an athlete and leader her whole life. As a 3-year captain of her college basketball team, she motivated others through her own actions, leading her to amazing places off the court. Jess began her professional career as a school teacher who fearlessly opened new schools in underserved neighborhoods in Boston and NYC. After years in academics, Jess realized she was missing her athletic roots, and decided to leave school teaching to go back to the subject she’s most passionate about: fitness.
Meet Jess
I want everyone to feel like an athlete while working out, so I coach in the mindset of being in a game. I love mental breakthroughs because when we get out of our own way, out of our own head, that’s where magic happens.
How Do You Motivate?
Some say my style of teaching incorporates a little bit of “tough love.” I expect a lot, but I also support a lot. Remember what you want most, and forget about what you want now.
Outside of Peloton
Outside the studio, I love boxing, lifting, going to new coffee shops in the city and spending time with my three pitbulls! I am also super excited to start training for some road races in 2019.
You don’t have to, you get to.
