I have always been active. As a child I was in many sports and even when I wasn’t at a practice or a soccer game or a gymnastics meet, you would find me outside riding bikes with my brothers or at my neighbors house shooting some hoops. As I got to college I quickly realized that it was now up to me to get movement in and so I found my love for lifting.

I worked with many different trainers – learning a lot from each one. I started competing in physique competitions in 2012 where I truly found my passion for nutrition. I have delt with anxiety almost my entire life and when the nutrition really became a key part in how I handled my anxiety I was hooked. Since then, I have been able to help many change their lives through nutrition alone. With me, you learn just how important key nutrients to not just feed your body, but also your brain!

My interest in fitness stems from my continuous involvement in sports over the years as I am a former state champion in track and field and a former collegiate track and field athlete. I am the single mother to an active teenager so when not at the gym I spend most of my time doing things with her or operating my “mom-uber” as I take her and her friends around town to do what teenagers do.

In 2017 I found myself at a cross roads after my daughter sustained a season ending knee injury, followed by surgery and rehab. I now needed something to occupy my time as my “sports mom” life had come to a screeching halt. Exercise was the first thing that came to my mind as I was trying to figure out ways to do my own thing. I wanted to learn healthier life habits, work on my body, have a stress outlet, and possibly make some friends. Then I found Warrior Body.

Two years later I am still going Warrior strong and I can’t imagine now not being a part of such an amazing team. I love Warrior Body because of how each and every workout makes me feel. No two workouts are the same and I am challenged with each class that I attend which is typically at 630 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I also love the energy I am experiencing as a result of Warrior Body and overall it gives me a sense of belonging to something that is beneficial to me.

Many days during the week you can find me at the Warrior Body gym cheering on my fellow warriors, giving words of encouragement and uplift, or being the fun energetic class clown who you can always count on to make you smile.

Daily I’m reminded of the positive effects exercise has on my own physical and psychological well-being and my appreciation for what our bodies and minds can achieve is ever increasing. In investing my time as a coach of the Beginner classes and sometimes the All-Stars I hope to inspire others to grasp this same appreciation for their minds and bodies on their journey to a healthier lifestyle. I look forward to motivating and supporting each and every warrior to continually challenge themselves and make their health goals become a reality in a fun and dynamic environment. #WARRIORSTRONG #WARRIORUP

Welcome to Warrior Body!  I’m Jeremiah!  I’m a lifelong West Virginia native from Moundsville and have lived in Morgantown since 2005.  Currently, I’m the training and development manager at Clear Mountain Bank and am the music director at Westover United Methodist Church. 

 

As for Warrior Body, I started in the second half of 2017, and it has become an integral part of my life.  Generally, you’ll see me coaching the 6am classes (M-W-F).  You’ll see me working out at 5:30 (T-Th), 9a (Sat) and, when I’m not coaching, 6a (M-W-F).  I enjoying coaching, because it helps me maintain personal accountability to practice what I coach and help others along their journey to begin, improve, or maintain their positive lifestyle.
