My name is Jessica Tobin and I have been running my own health and fitness business, Align Rochester, since 2013. It was at this time that I received my first fitness certification in mat Pilates. I would go on to receive my Pilates apparatus certification as well as my personal training certification through the American College of Sports Medicine. I would also get my National Pilates Teacher Certification through the National Pilates Certification Program. I have had the privilege of serving as a subject matter expert on Pilates for the upcoming test revision for the NPCP.

After being unsatisfied with having limited effectiveness with my students through fitness intervention only I went on to get my health coaching certification through the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy and subsequently my board certification for health coaching (see my blog post about that journey https://alignrochester.com/2023/12/15/what-is-a-fmchc/). This gave me the knowledge and credentials to help clients with everything from nutritional plans to behavior modification. This way I am able to help people make real and lasting change inside and out. This business is unique in that I am able to offer fitness sessions as well as wellness sessions and they are all the same price. In this way the client can be in the drivers seat and choose which will best serve their needs. I offer in person as well as virtual options to meet all of my client’s needs.
