Jessica
Owner & Lead Instructor
I’m Jessica, the owner of Glow Fitness. My passion for pilates and barre began after college when I began to lose motivation to “go to the gym”. I found myself paying for a membership that I hardly used. After joining a small studio, I fell in love with the group fitness setting. The classes held me accountable, inspired me to challenge myself, and reignited my motivation to be healthy and fit. I began looking forward to my workouts and enjoyed being part of a fitness community. I hope to bring that same passion and motivation to all of my clients. I truly believe in the power of a good workout - to boost your physical, mental, and emotional wellness. Aside from fitness business owner, I am an animal lover, world traveler, avid coffee drinker, and holistic nutrition enthusiast.
Stott Pilates certified in 2019 at Northeast Pilates, Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts
Yoga certified in 2023 at Gandiva Yoga, New Haven, CT

Heather
Barre-Lates Instructor
I have always enjoyed working out for as long as I can remember, but nothing makes me feel as good as when I walk out of a group fitness class. I love to work out in a no-judgement, supportive environment where I can try and be my best self, which is exactly how I want my classes to feel for others. I want to inspire everyone to see fitness as the best part of their day and something they look forward to. Outside of the studio, I love to be in nature, see as much wildlife as I can, and enjoy a really good cup of tea.
Heather is trained in barre and pilates and has been a member of Glow Fitness for years.
