Jessy loves to help people get the results that they desire as well as help them maintain a healthy lifestyle. He looks forward to meeting you and helping you to attain your fitness goals!
“In first coming, here I realized the importance of personal trainers more than I ever did at 24 Hour Fitness. Members really are looking for that one thing to help them get through the day a little easier, or lose those ten pounds that have come on in the last couple of years.”
As the new Fitness Director, it is Jessy’s job to help all members in starting that change in their lives. Our goals are to help as many people as possible and develop programs in helping all our members continue in a healthy life.

Since Gary’s initial taste of good health,
he pursued his interest and furthered his education in college. While
attending college full time, Gary was also working a full time and a part
time job as well. He has since earned two Associates Degrees and is
currently working on his Bachelors Degree. Through seeing the benefits of good health,
Gary is thrilled to be a part of the Auburn Racquet and Fitness Club.
Gary loves working with people in hopes of helping people reach their full
potential and live at their most optimal performance both inside and
outside of the gym. The best way to get to better health is to
start today. The payoff in the end is far more gratifying and rewarding
than one might think. I am willing to go the extra mile so you can too.
