Jess Heberlie

Jess grew up in small-town Missouri and attended the University of Iowa where she graduated with a bachelor’s in Human Physiology in 2018. She then pursued her dental hygiene degree and became a Registered Dental Hygienist in 2021. After getting tired of the cold Iowa winters, she moved to James Island in 2023. With a passion for public health, Jess began cleaning teeth in schools all around the city of Charleston. Her main focus with coaching at JIFC is to spread the belief that you can move your body strictly for enjoyment and that not every single workout needs to be focused on making your body smaller. Jess often frequents PM group workouts, spin classes, and Sunday power and flow classes. Outside of the gym, you’ll find Jess to the left of 4W on Folly on a sunny day, walking her dog, Dan, or baking a sweet treat to share at the gym.
