A look at JessieGunz.....

How it started

A family filled with males, Jessie was determined to be "one of the guys." If they climbed trees she would too, if they traveled the world displaying their soccer skills on some of the largest platforms available she would too. The story is typical and not so typical at the same time. She pushed to be part of a world that didn't seem to believe she belonged. Through these trials she found herself and found what made her truly shine in her own light. As a life long athlete she often never had to worry about caloric intake, as she aged, married and gave birth to two amazing young men, she began to face her battle with food. At age 30, Jessie was ready to face her 200 pound troubles and it began with a healthy relationship with food as a source of fuel. After a full year of leaning into her fitness goals she saw phenomenal results, however, it wasn't until she dedicated herself to the weight floor that the weight truly melted away and stayed away. It is her testimony that lifting weights is one of the healthiest and surest ways to carry lean muscle mass and keep the unhealthy weight at bay.

Over the decades making small changes to her routine and priorities she has been able to find a balance that provided her with a very active lifestyle. To this day Jessie is able to keep her heart fueled with inspiration and grit to be the best version of herself. Like everyone else, she does struggle with aging which ultimately changes the makeup of the human body, she faces stress just like everyone else. Channeling her stress and frustrations into fitness and living a very active life style Jessie works with her body, remaining grateful.
