Client Spotlight: David!

David has been training with me for months with a focus on improving his endurance, strength, core activation, and balance. Through his consistency and dedication, he has not only put in the hard work but has also achieved huge progress in every single one of his goals.

What makes David’s story extra special is that he was one of my very first clients at Gateway Fitness. His commitment and progress were a huge part of what inspired me to expand my coaching beyond Pilates and also step into a gym setting.

It’s been inspiring to watch his journey — pushing a little further, getting stronger, and moving with more confidence. David is a true example of what’s possible when you commit to your health and wellness.

Congratulations, David!

Wellness Wednesday with Bayshore Wellness

Sometimes the simplest steps are the most powerful ones—literally!

Adding more walking or light jogging into your week can:
✅ Boost your energy
✅ Strengthen your heart and muscles
✅ Lift your mood and reduce stress

You don’t need to run miles to see results—start with a 10–15 minute walk or a few easy jog intervals. Small, consistent efforts add up to big changes over time.

What’s one way you’ll add more steps this week? Share in the comments—we’d love to hear!

Client Spotlight: Dan’s Olympic Triathlon Success!

Last winter, Dan set out with one goal: to complete his first-ever Olympic distance triathlon at the Chicago Triathlon.

Through months of dedication — balancing family, career, and long weekend training sessions — he didn’t just achieve that goal… he overachieved it. On race day, Dan crossed the finish line in under 3 hours!

Huge congratulations to Dan on an incredible accomplishment and an inspiring first Olympic triathlon finish!

Wellness Wednesday with Bayshore Wellness

Your health isn’t just about the hours you spend exercising — it’s about the small choices you make each day.
This week’s focus: movement snacks

Instead of thinking you need one long workout, try adding short bursts of movement throughout your day:
✅ 5 minutes of stretching at your desk
✅ A brisk walk after lunch
✅ A few squats or calf raises while cooking dinner
✅ Deep breathing to reset your posture and energy

These little habits add up, improving circulation, energy, strength, and mobility — and they’re easier to stay consistent with than waiting for the “perfect” workout window.

Consistency beats perfection every time.

Client Spotlight: Lisa

After multiple surgeries, Lisa came to Bayshore Wellness wanting to rebuild strength — and the results speak for themselves:

“I’ve lost 15–20Lbs, have more energy and strength in everyday life, and less knee pain!”*

She credits the support, motivation, and Jordan’s ability to adapt exercises safely: “Jordan is extremely skilled at assessing your body’s needs and helping you train without pain or injury.”

I am very proud of what Lisa has been able to achieve so far, and excited about what else she will be able to achieve!

Client Spotlight: Jessica

Jessica came to Bayshore Wellness wanting to add strength training to her routine, improve her posture, and offset long hours at a desk.

“I was already doing HIIT and eating clean for years, but I was still weak and stuck at the same fitness level.”

After training together, the change has been dramatic:

“I haven’t felt this light, lean, and ‘springy’ in decades. I’m much stronger, my posture is better, I also lost 5% of my body weight and went down a clothing size.”

Her consistency and hard work have taken her from plateau to thriving — and she’s just getting started!

Client Spotlight: Will

Shoutout to my client Will, who’s been crushing it over the past year! When we first started working together, Will was already a dedicated runner with big goals—but he wanted to become a more well-rounded athlete, improve his stride efficiency, build strength, and stay injury-free.

Through consistent hard work and focused training, Will has made incredible progress. His posture, strength, and overall athleticism have taken a huge step forward, and it’s been amazing to see the difference in his running form and power. He shows up, puts in the work, and stays committed—and it’s paying off in a big way.

Great job, Will! Keep pushing forward!

Client Spotlight: Bev!

Huge shoutout to Bev, who just hit one year of consistent training with me! Over the past year, Bev has put in the work and stayed committed — and it shows. She's improved her posture, built up her strength, and most importantly, significantly reduced her pain. Her progress is a reminder that with consistency and the right guidance, real change is possible. Proud of you, Bev — here’s to another strong year ahead!

Client Spotlight: Eric’s Strength Journey

When Eric first came to me, he had a clear goal: get stronger — but like many, he faced a real challenge. Years of shoulder injuries made traditional strength training tough to navigate without pain or setbacks.

Together, we built a plan that worked with his body, not against it. Through a tailored corrective exercise routine and a strategic approach to safe strength progression, Eric has made huge strides — gaining power, confidence, and control in movements that used to be a struggle.

This kind of progress isn’t just physical — it’s mental too. It takes commitment, consistency, and a willingness to trust the process. Eric’s brought all of that and more to every session.

Proud to celebrate how far he’s come — and excited for what’s next!

Stronger. Smarter. Pain-free.
