We’re thrilled to introduce Jessica Solomon, a NASM Certified Personal Trainer based in North Carolina who brings a truly rare combination of credentials to the phyt.live platform. With six years of personal training experience and more than 25 years in counseling and physical education, Jessica doesn’t just train bodies — she transforms lives from the inside out.
A Passion Born from Movement
Jessica’s love of fitness didn’t start in a gym. It grew from a genuine love of hiking and sports, and from the mental clarity that comes from moving your body intentionally. That connection between physical movement and mental wellbeing isn’t just something Jessica believes in — it’s the foundation of everything she does with her clients.
“I know how intimidating it can feel to start a fitness journey, which is why I’m dedicated to guiding and motivating you every step of the way toward a healthier, stronger you.” — Jessica Solomon
That empathy isn’t accidental. With a background in school counseling and physical education spanning more than two decades, Jessica understands people — what motivates them, what holds them back, and how to help them build lasting change.
More Than a Trainer — A Whole-Person Coach
What makes Jessica truly unique is the depth of her academic and professional background. Most personal trainers bring fitness expertise. Jessica brings fitness expertise plus a counselor’s understanding of human behavior, psychology, and sustainable habit formation.
Her education reflects that breadth:
- BS, Physical Education — Ithaca College
- MA, School Counseling — North Carolina Central University
- MS, Physical Education — Canisius College
This isn’t just impressive on paper. It means Jessica can connect with clients on a deeper level — understanding not just how to build a workout plan, but how to help people actually stick with it.
Training That Keeps You Engaged and Progressing
Jessica’s sessions are dynamic, varied, and designed for real results. She works with clients of all ages, focusing on:
- Functional Fitness — movement that translates to everyday life
- Weight Loss — evidence-based programming that gets results
- Strength Training — building the foundation for a stronger body
- Agility & Circuit Training — keeping sessions fast-paced and effective
- Tabata & HIIT — high-intensity formats that maximize your time
- Mind-Body Wellness — integrating mental clarity with physical training
- Behavioral & Wellness Coaching — addressing the habits and mindset behind lasting change
No two sessions feel the same — and that’s by design.
Certifications That Go the Extra Mile
Jessica holds multiple NASM certifications that reflect her commitment to serving the full spectrum of clients:
- NASM Certified Personal Trainer
- NASM Youth Exercise Specialist
- NASM Mental Toughness
That Mental Toughness certification is particularly telling — it signals a trainer who understands that getting fit is as much a mental challenge as a physical one.
What Clients Are Saying
Jessica’s impact goes well beyond the workout. Here’s what one client, Kathy Sparrow — Associate Operational Project Manager at UNC Health — had to say:
“Working with her has been a truly transformative experience. Her guidance has helped me better understand my physical health, particularly in relation to my heart and overall wellness. I greatly appreciate the time she takes to explain not only what changes to make, but also the reasoning behind them, which has given me greater confidence in managing my health.
Her support in helping me understand the vitamins and supplements I take — what is beneficial, what is not, and the appropriate timing and frequency — has been especially valuable. Additionally, her thoughtful approach to nutrition and healthy eating has made it easier for me to adopt sustainable habits that fit my lifestyle.
Her professionalism, knowledge, and genuine commitment to my progress have made a significant difference. She has been a consistent source of encouragement and accountability, and I am grateful for her support throughout this journey.” — Kathy Sparrow, UNC Health
That’s not a typical trainer-client relationship. That’s a coach who shows up for the whole person.
