Mercedes De Jesus
PERSONAL TRAINER
I was always a sick kid—countless doctors told me I wouldn’t be able to do what other kids could. So I made a decision: I would prove them wrong. I chose to become strong.
Not only did I become strong, but I also became a powerlifter. Along the way, I became a mom, raced cars, and earned my coaching certification during COVID. My love for the gym started when I was 18 years old, and it’s been a defining part of my life ever since.
Now, as a coach, I help others discover just how strong and capable they truly are. Watching someone grow in confidence and realize their potential is one of the most rewarding and beautiful parts of what I do.
What Moves You:
Hard work and happiness. Anything worth having or achieving doesn't come easily. The process is hard, but the end result is amazing. Finding happiness along the way is the best part of any journey.

WHAT MOVES ME
“The most effectual means of preventing all the disadvantages and evil consequences of a neglected exercise of body and muscles is methodical physical training.” – George Hackenschmidt (1908)
