Jessica Bahling
Coach at Colfax Strong Strength & Conditioning

Jess’s fitness journey started in high school when she signed up at her local planet fitness with no idea of what to do. Growing up without an athletic bone in her body, she started by following a variety of random exercise plans online. In her junior year of college, Jess discovered the sport of olympic weightlifting and her relationship with exercise shifted from a place of punishment and shrinking, to a focus on strength and performance. From that point on, she fell in love with training for performance and athletic goals of all types, gaining experience in competitive olympic weightlifting, ultra marathons, and CrossFit over the last decade.

From this journey, Jess realized a passion for helping others discover their “why” and to feel confident and strong inside and outside of the gym. She recognizes that training is not a one size fits all approach, and aims to help everyone she works with discover what fitness means to them. She especially loves merging this individualized approach with the contagious energy and community of group classes.
