🌟 Member Spotlight: Jamie Pierce 🌟
Today we spotlight Jamie! She was nominated by Cory Fortkamp "because of her constant welcoming smile every time she comes in the gym and her interactions with new gym members, going the extra mile/out of her way to introduce herself and becoming the first of many friendly faces in the gym."
Cory nailed this nomination. Jamie is - literallyyy everything that Innergy represents, and then some. She's also an XGT coach and most importantly a friend to SO many people here. Her caring heart, warm smile, and VAST knowledge on everything health and fitness is unmatched. We count ourselves lucky to be in her company. Here's what she had to say!
🏋️♀️ What brought you to Innergy?
I was looking for a place where I could continue to challenge myself physically, but I found so much more than that at Innergy. I found a community of people who genuinely encourage each other, and coaches who care about more than just what happens during the workout. Oh and the fact I wasn’t coaching anywhere and driving my friends crazy. So when Innergy posted they were looking for coaches for the Celina location… how could I not apply?
⏳ How long have you been a member?
I’ve been a member since just before the Celina location opened.
🖤 What’s your favorite thing about working out here? The people. I love that everyone is working toward something different, but we can still encourage each other and celebrate each other’s wins. And I love that I can walk through the door on a day when I’m not feeling 100% and somehow leave feeling stronger—physically and mentally.
📈 What’s a fitness goal you’re currently working toward?
My goal is to keep getting stronger, mobile, and capable as I get older—not just to look fit, but to feel strong in my body and be able to do the things I want to do for a very long time. I want fitness to be something I can carry with me into every stage of life. What’s something you’ve accomplished that you’re proud of? Honestly, continuing to show up. There have been plenty of seasons of life when it would have been easier to put myself last, but I’ve learned that taking care of myself isn’t selfish. I’m proud that I keep choosing to get stronger, keep learning, and keep pushing myself outside of my comfort zone.
💪 What’s one thing fitness has changed for you?
My mindset. Fitness has taught me that I’m capable of more than I sometimes think I am. It has also taught me that progress isn’t always about lifting heavier or moving faster—it’s about showing up consistently and not giving up on yourself or others!
✅ If you could only do ONE exercise for the rest of your life, what would it be?
lol…. If you know me, you know this answer… BURPEES for life!
❣ Who would you want as your workout partner?
My dad. ❤ I’d give anything to have one more workout, walk, or just ordinary day with him. I think I’d appreciate those moments in a completely different way now.
💫 What’s something people would be surprised to learn about you?
I’m almost 50, almost through massage therapy school, and I’m still constantly trying to learn, grow, and reinvent myself. I think people sometimes assume you reach a certain age and you’re supposed to have everything figured out. I’ve learned that some of the best parts of life happen when you’re willing to start something new—even when you’re not sure you’re ready.
🤭 What’s your toxic gym trait?
Thinking, “I can probably do that.” 😂 And then immediately realizing I may have underestimated both the workout and my ability to walk normally the next day. Also inviting everyone to join me in a quick EMOM of Burpees. Sometimes I just program it as a finisher, so I know for a fact all my friends will join me.
🏋️♀️🏋 What do you love most about the Innergy community?
The way people genuinely show up for each other. It doesn’t matter if you’re having your strongest day or barely making it through the workout—someone is usually there encouraging you, cheering you on, or making you laugh. I’ve been fortunate to feel welcomed and supported by some really incredible women here, and that means a lot to me.
🗣 Who at the gym deserves a shoutout?
Honestly, everyone… the coaches and the members who consistently make Innergy feel like a community rather than just a gym. I appreciate the people who notice when someone needs encouragement, celebrate the small wins, and make you want to keep showing up. Also the first time gym goers… it can be scary! But they keep coming in. That is admirable.
😅 What keeps you coming back?
The people, the accountability, and the feeling I have when I leave. Even when I don’t feel like coming in, I never regret it. Even if it just movement for the day.
💯 What would you tell someone who is nervous about joining a gym?
Come exactly as you are. You don’t have to be fit before you join a gym, and you don’t have to know what you’re doing. Everyone starts somewhere. Find a place where you feel supported, give yourself permission to be a beginner, and just keep showing up.
Describe Innergy in 3 words:
Community. Strength. Belonging. Or Best Damn Gym!
Thank you for being a shining light, Jamie! We appreciate you! ❤
