Jessana Sorto Gavarrete

“¡Qué pedo mi gente! Don’t worry, that just means hello where I’m from.” Jessana is currently studying Biomedical Science at Grand Valley State University on the pre-med path, with the dream of one day becoming a pediatrician.

When I first started at TGH, my only goal was to change my body. But pretty quickly, that mindset shifted. I realized this isn’t just fitness — it’s a sport with no limits. Every day there’s a new challenge, and that mirrored my own life outside the gym. The box became my escape, my oasis, a place to grow stronger while also finding joy.

Now as a coach, my goal is to spread that same energy to others — to inspire people to see that we set our own limits, and every day we can push them a little further.

For me, coaching is a two-way street: I want to put into practice what I’ve learned, but I also expect to learn from every athlete who walks through those doors. The mission is simple:  help others discover their own strength, one rep at a time.
