Jessica Martinez
Pilates Instructor
Originally from Miami Beach, Florida, Jessica has lived all over the country for both school and work. A life-long athlete, Jessica discovered Pilates while taking time off from contact sports and running after suffering a back injury. After a summer of practicing Pilates at a Club Pilates in Illinois, she was hooked as her back pain was gone and her times in long-distance races were faster! Jessica is a Club Pilates trained instructor, feel free to ask her about Teacher Training! She is also certified athletic trainer and holds a PhD in Kinesiology from the University of Connecticut which she utilizes as an Assistant Professor in the Athletic Training Program at Old Dominion University. When not in the studio or teaching future athletic trainers, you can find Jessica running Norfolk with her dog Loki or on the ice playing hockey.
