Why work with Jessica?
Hi Ladies, I started my studies to become a personal trainer back in 2010. I always had a passion for activity and maintaining good health and wanted to share that with others. After becoming pregnant with my son and suffering from diastasis recti and muscle loss I became more focused on women’s health with rebuilding the body after birth.

Jessica was quick to contact me and set up a visit. She spend good time to go over any health issues or concerns I have. And we got started right away on a program. She is very professional. I look forward to future workouts. More...

Jessica is awesome. I love her classes....After 5 months I am back to pre pregnancy weight. She is so upbeat and makes the classes fun and no pressure if you need to tend to baby.

When Jessica first told me I won a free class I was hesitant about going. I actually only went because I told my son that when you make a commitment you see it through. I'm so happy that I went. By my third week with Jessica I was wishing I had signed up for more classes. She's amazing and the atmosphere she creates in her classes is positive and inspiring. Great classes! More...

After having my second child I wanted to start exercising but had no idea where to start. The mummy core class was very informative and helped me to start a basic exercise routine to help re-strengthen my core and pelvic floor. This class is a great benefit for everyone who has given birth recently. Jessica is well informed and has actual experience which makes her an excellent instructor. More...

Had a great workshop yesterday with Jessica Levy, learning about how to engage and strengthen the inner core through breathing and exercise. I’m finding that after a c section, I’m struggling with strength, and this was just what I needed to move towards rehabilitation with more confidence. Thanks Jessica � More...

I've been training for years and never been so in love. Jessica is inspiring and awesome. Jessica is so good at multitasking. Even though there are ppl. at all levels of fitness she encourages and helps everyone to get maximum benifits of each work out. My favourite part of Jessica's work outs are the surprise factor. You get through the work out thinking; ok that was tough but I did it...then the next day you are your muscles have a whole new appreciation for eachother.;) The group has such a great community feel aswell, I always get so excited to go to the next class to see eveyone again.

I’ve had the pleasure of doing personal training classes with Jessica, along with many of her classes. She goes above and beyond to give you more than what you want. She helps motivate and has taught me lots about working out. With having abdominal separation after both my kids, she was able to teach me the does and don’t with workouts and what to watch for... along with correcting my ab separation �. Thanks for being the amazing person you are! More...

Returning to exercise after having a baby can be challenging and Jessica makes the journey less intimidating. Jessica is knowledgeable, positive and enthusiastic and ensures that all exercises are modified for every fitness level. There are a variety of classes at different venues to accommodate any schedule. When the weather warmed up she even moved outside so participants benefit from and enjoy the beautiful Okanagan weather and scenery. Jessica's classes offer a great workout, but are also laid back enough for you to easily care for your child's needs (be it to nurse, entertain, distract etc...) and then get right back into the routine. Jessica is warm, welcoming and non judgemental- exactly what you need to feel comfortable and motivated to keep coming back! More...

I contacted Jessica when I was three months postpartum I wanted my pre-baby body back. I'm currently seven months postpartum I've lost 33 pounds and feeling amazing! Jessica is a great personal trainer! And mom and baby classes are perfect when you want to fit a workout in but don't have a babysitter. Highly recommend her if your wanting a one on one or group fitness! More...

I've been working out with Jessica and her team for most of 2017- with kids and without. Jessica's classes are amazing! She's very knowledgeable and is able to adapt the classes easily to peoples' needs. Doing classes outdoors in the summer is a fantastic way to connect with our beautiful parks and her current indoor location is great. It's in a quiet residential neighbourhood with lots of parking, and the gym is really large with lots of place (and toys!) for little ones to play with while Mom is working out. I'd definitely recommend Body Connection Fitness to anyone looking to get back to working out after a baby! More...

I signed up for Jessica’s core workshop class. After having 2 C-sections and some ab separation I have always felt like I had mixed knowledge on what was safe and not safe for core exercises. What I liked the most about this workshop was Jessica’s education behind it. I had never heard of a functional or disfunctional core and learning about how to recognize that on your own body and to be mindful of it during your daily routine and workouts was my biggest take away. Highly recommend! More...

Working with Jessica after having a baby has been a great experience. She's been amazing at motivating me and helping me work within my physical limitations so that I can surpass them. I love the one-on-one of her personal training sessions, and the fact that they're at my home makes it so easy to make work for me as a new mom! I also love being able to bring my little babe to the group classes, which removes a lot of the obstacles/excuses for not getting to fitness classes or the gym as a new mom. I would definitely recommend Jessica (and Body Connection) to other moms - and I already have! More...

If you want someone who's dedicated to your fitness goals and will never give up on you, Jess is your girl. No matter what current state you're in, she'll work with you and challenge you so you reach your goals. Her "never give up" and "no excuses" attitude is exactly what you need in a trainer to take you from point a to b. Invest in her..trust her... And let her challenge you. I guarantee you won't regret it! More...

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
Based on their goals, exercise history, past medical conditions, lifestyle & habits we adapt and personalize a program that will be best suited for their needs. Everyone is diffirent so the assessment/consultation is where I really learn about them and what has prevented them from reaching their goals in the past.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Being committed. This is about a lifestyle change not a quick get fix. If you are unable to make that commitment you may never reach your goals. I help my clients realize what they are capable of and motivate and educate them to get there. It starts with a positive mindset, focus, goals and determination.
What do you love most about your job?
I love helping women feel confident about themselves again. Watching them grow through their fitness and health journey and become strong and independent in their bodies again. The confidence from this helps them with other areas of their life as well. Better sex, more energy as a mom, more confidence at work, wanting to get into a bathing suit again. It is very rewarding.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I was awkward and clumsy as a child and always very skinny with low confidence. I wanted to change that and I knew that if I felt better about my body and stronger then my confidence would change. This is why I became a trainer. I started my own business from there so I would have the flexibility to train women how I thought would be best for them and not under an umbrella of a large fitness company that is more focused on making a sale then actually helping the women change.
Why should our clients choose you?
I really care about each of my clients. For me its not about the sale. I listen to them and learn their story. It is more then just giving them a workout because any trainer could do that. I want to inspire them, encourage them and build them up. Give them the education and skills they need to be successful even on their own without me.
