Jessie Thomas (Farm Girl Fitness)

Owner, Jessie Thomas, lost her job as an instructor and coach after 13 years in the fitness industry in March 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. She not only needed to find work but saw a need in her community to keep people moving, connected and safe. So in June 2020 she converted her family’s 88 acre farm into a playground for outdoor fitness. Because exercise equipment and weights were so scarce at the time, Jessie got creative by using things like hay bales, logs, tires and other things that were common to the farm. farmgirlfitness.ca
