Jess carries herself with a spirit of joyful optimism & makes a point of sharing it with the world around her. Friends, colleagues & clients alike look to Jess for ENERGY, integrity and inspiration! Jess (Jessica Stopera) founded SWEAT with Jess in 2009 as a means of sharing her passion for health & fitness with others. Her business is her community and family. Jess chose this business because she is beyond passionate about helping others reach their health and fitness goals. Jess prides herself on the community and lifestyle she has built for others; health and happiness. She believed she could so she did! Jess is about empowering others to LIVE THEIR BEST LIFE now! She reminds them to SHOW UP every day for themselves and to be UNAPOLOGETIC! Jess rebranded SWEAT with Jess, to STRENGTH train with Jess when she changed the structure of programming and wanted to continue to offer MORE of what there is not out there- group STRENGTH training! STRENGTH train with Jess goes beyond an awesome workout- it is a lifestyle; one that promotes growth, fun, and community! Jess is very passionate about educating people how to lift and letting that strength empower them in ALL other aspects of their lives and relationships. She has a very strong voice for people asking for what they need and knowing what they want. STRENGTH train with Jess is so much more than a workout, it’s a lifestyle.

Jess has a style that is a cross between loud, inappropriate, and FUN all in one! You can SWEAT with Jess in person or online!

  • Strength train with Jess is offered at Los Campeones in NE Minneapolis

  • Online/Individualized programming

When she’s not training others, Jess keeps herself in tip-top health with powerlifting & running. When she's not working or working out, you can find her enjoying time at the dog park or on a long walk with their sweet rescues Hank, Millie, and Talli! She loves a good local vegan restaurant with girlfriends, enjoying her personal sanctuary out on the patio, working on some random house project, laying out at the lake, cheering on her Packers, or exploring a state park off leash with her hounds! #SHOWUP

“Never compare your Chapter 1, to someone’s Chapter 8. Ego is not your amigo, show up!”
