Jessie King- Personal Coach

Journey Fitness Coaching is my first fitness job. However, my fitness background includes being a NSCA certified strength and conditioning specialist, a bachelor’s degree in exercise physiology from SUNY Brockport, and CPR/AED certified by the American Red Cross. Now that I’m a fitness professional at Journey Fitness, it’s like a dream come true for me. I can remember in high school a common theme in advice given about when you graduate: pursue a career that you’re passionate about. Being that I was an athlete, I was drawn towards a career in fitness. Playing sports as a kid is where I discovered the joy of movement and the importance of life long fitness. Journey Fitness is where I get the opportunity on a daily basis to share a similar experience with my clients. With my background and experience I look forward to assisting every client at Journey Fitness with their fitness goals.



Amanda Callahan- Office Manager

I grew up in the small rural town of Nelson, PA and moved to Corning to attend Corning Community College, where I received my Associate Degree in Business Administration. As someone who has always struggled with their weight, I was very excited for the unique opportunity to join the Journey Fitness team. I've held memberships to several different gyms in the area over the years, yet nothing compares to the level of empowerment and motivation I take away from each class I attend at Journey Fitness. I have never felt so confident in achieving my fitness goals as I do here. I really enjoy working with the Journey Fitness family toward reaching my goals so that I can share my experience and help others in the future!




Logan Peters- Personal Coach

Before coming to Journey Fitness I struggled with obesity and food addiction for as long as I can remember. On top of that I felt depressed, tired all the time, and had very little confidence in myself. Then January 1st, 2014 I decided that enough was enough!! That I needed to take control of who I was and not let food and obesity control my life anymore. So I took it upon myself to completely change my life style. I changed my diet and started to exercise on a daily basis, and 7 months later I found myself 80lbs lighter and no longer addicted to food. No, now I was addicted to staying fit and bettering who I was. With that in mind, there was another fire burning inside me. Not only did I feel better, I wanted to motivate others to feel better and experience the joys of living a healthier way of life. That’s when I found Journey fitness. It was the light at the end of the tunnel and the opportunity that seemed too good to be true. Yet from day one I knew I was in a good place. I knew that I could help people achieve their goals as I did mine. I am now Training at Journey Fitness continuing to better myself and my knowledge as well as helping other reach their fitness and health goals!!
Thank you Journey Fitness!!
