Fitness hasn’t always been a part of Jeraldine’s life. Jeraldine grew up being what most people would consider as thick. Due to her genetics, she always had thicker legs and hips than most girls. Because of this, she started struggling with body image and self esteem issues from a very young age.

Her lower body made her feel very insecure about herself and the social pressure to be thin eventually drove her to do everything she could to get skinny. Jeraldine spent several years running every morning and severely under eating. And although she did manage to lose weight, she did so in a very unhealthy and unsustainable way. Instead of feeling better about herself, she only became more obsessed with watching the scale.

As the years went by, Jeraldine’s fitness goals started to change. She started to understand that beauty does not come from what the scale says. She began focusing on becoming a healthier and stronger person. She understood that she could not change her genetics and slowly learned to embrace her naturally thick and curvy body.

Today, Jeraldine spends her days helping other women realize what took her so many years to realize on her own. She teaches women to love themselves and to love their bodies. She motivates them to make good and positive choices to become healthier individuals.

Jeraldine understands that joining a gym can be a difficult and often a very intimidating decision for most women, and therefore created Fierce Curves Fitness as her voice in pursuit of motivating and inspiring her ladies. Many times the added pressure of being surrounded by men can steer many women away from ever embarking upon their fitness journey. Which is why with Fierce Curves Fitness, our goal is to create an environment where women of all ages and backgrounds come together to motivate and encourage each other to achieve their fitness goals without feeling the need to conform to a certain stereotype.

We strongly believe that fitness is not about being a specific size or shape. It is about being healthy and more importantly, it is about learning to love yourself and your body. Our goal is not only to help you lose weight and build muscle. It is to encourage you and guide you in your journey to a better body, mind, and spirit. And to show you that there is nothing a woman can’t achieve!

John is a coach that you can say has been around the block a few times. Growing up in Seattle, WA he was a multi-faceted athlete playing football, wrestling, tennis, track, and soccer.

But being a student athlete can take its tole on the human body. Having suffered multiple injuries, John struggled to continue to play the sports he loved because of the nagging aches and pains. He even contemplated quitting sports altogether.

John began seeing a physical therapist once a week during his senior year in high school. This PT opened his eyes to what the human body was capable of in terms of movement, and being in pain isn’t normal or something you have to deal with.

Thats when John shifted his love from sports into a passion to help others experience the freedom of “pain free movement”

Since graduating from one of the nations top personal training programs in 2013, John has immersed himself in the fitness industry specializing in strength & conditioning, functional movement, rehabilitation, athletic development, weight loss and nutrition.

Having worked with clients of all ages and needs, John strives to give each and every client the freedom to express movement within their own bodies.

John’s passion and love to help others is what makes him an incredible coach.

Chelsea has a passion for sports and comes from a very diverse background.  In High School, she played four years of basketball and softball with a traveling team. She was offered a softball scholarship to A&M Corpus Christi and later transferred to Southern Arkansas University and continued to play. Inspired by tough early-childhood years and her love of sports, she chose to major in Exercise Science.

Chelsea was always confident in her athletics, but not always with her appearance.  Growing up, she was incessantly bullied by peers who shamed her for her body type and appearance. Those painful memories during her adolescence were part of what fuels her passion for fitness to this day. Her step father, who was a coach in youth sports, inspired Chelsea to join every sport offered in Junior High Athletics!  This is when softball became her true love. This newfound passion helped her build friendships, sharpened her focus on health and sports performance, and planted a powerful seed that has led her to become the Coach she is today.

Chelsea’s love for coaching group exercise began at the town’s football field, where she held her first bootcamps during college summer breaks for friends and family. Those bootcamps proved to be more than just fun and competitive sweat, (and trust us, Chelsea will never turn down a chance to compete) but she realized her calling: To impact and support as many lives as possible, through coaching.

After graduation, Chelsea continued to instruct bootcamps and began private coaching at Texas Academy of Sports Medicine and the Houston City Club. In 2014, she became a full time EXOS Coach for Chevron Downtown Houston. This is where her degree and experience were matched with the highest quality wellness methodologies, and shes loved this opportunity to expand her education. Now a skilled EXOS-Certified Sports Performance Specialist, she is focused on individual differences and fitness levels through the versatility of EXOS education.  

In her free time, Chelsea stays motivated and competitive in various sports. She competed in CrossFit over a span of seven years and later placed 1st in class and 2nd overall at her very first Bodybuilding show (GBO)!  Her personal victories over fad diets and unhealthy patterns were won through changing her mindset to a focus of strength work and overall health, in lieu of drowning in the futility of “taking up less space”.  In addition to high quality movement and strength, having a healthy relationship with food and prioritizing mental health became a huge part of Chelsea’s programming.

Chelsea is stoked to bring an authentic story to the Facet Seven Family and share everything she has learned along the way. From strength and endurance to mobility and biomechanics, to simply learning to genuinely love the person you see in the mirror… Chelsea Knox can coach you through it.

With a background coaching a broad range of clients, he’s found his niche in helping lifters over the age of 60 to retain independent, functional, and adventurous lives with strength training. While many of his senior lifters have never picked up a barbell, yet he has been featured twice on local Houston news with one of his clients, Mrs. Townsend.

Taking on the role of programming and coaching a team of lifters of all ages, he not only programs the team for powerlifting meets, but he also helps them at the meets and loves watching them become part of the strength community.

Nick has competed in powerlifting off and on since the early 2000s, overcoming congenital spine and hip defects and the pain associated with them. He currently competes in both the USAPL and USPA (drug tested) federations of powerlifting, specializing in the bench press. While still competing in all three lifts, he has qualified for USAPL nationals in bench-only for several years now. He has also competed successfully in football and the discus throw.

He also periodically organizes and runs strength events at Facet Seven EaDo. Recent events have included mock powerlifting meets before official meets, the strength portion of the Fall Fitness Fest, and most recently the first annual Space City SuperTotal, which combined Olympic weightlifting with powerlifting for one total score.
