About Jill

Growing up in a family with two competitive older brothers, I have always been challenged to push my limits when trying to keep up with the two athletes of the family. Playing soccer, running track, and multiple cheerleading squads, movement was something I always loved. I found my passion in the dance studio for over 15 years. When I discovered my love for the gym and lifting weights in high school, I quickly found that the stronger I was physically and mentally, the stronger my dance performance was on stage. Starting a career path I never knew I wanted!

I attended Rhode Island College and graduated in 2013 with a Bachelor's Degree in Dance and the Performing Arts. I also studied anatomy and kinesiology to understand how the body functions and moves. When I moved home from college, I started working full-time at the dance studio I grew up with. To be honest, my original life plan was to take over this studio, but as my mother engraved in my head at a young age, everything happens for a reason. Dance life does not pay the bills fully, so in 2013 I took my first personal training certification and began my training career in the gym. From 2013 until the spring of 2022, you could find me in the gym, doing personal training, teaching group classes, and managing a fitness team for 10-12 hours a day.

In January of 2022, I launched Jillian Michalowski- Fitness Coach, aka JMick Fit. In April of 2022, I left the gym world to open up my own online health and nutrition business to build the business of my dreams and take things to the next level on my own terms. Over the years, I have helped over 100 people develop healthier lifestyles.

Here at JMick Fit, we focus on creating the right environment and customized programs for those to have the tools and support that they need to help overcome their fear of food and build confidence in their ability to be successful in their health and fitness goals providing them with the knowledge to create the foundation they need to be successful!

How JMick Fit Was Born! 

   From a young age I admired my mother for owning her own business, a very successful business I must add. From a young age I saw my mother become her own boss, work alongside her best friend, build this incredible play for kids to learn and grow, as my mom grew into an incredible business owner and leader. It was amazing to witness. From a young age I always knew I wanted to be my own boss, help others, and grow into a woman that people looked up to for my strength and determination… Here comes JMick Fit, well almost!

   The dream actually started as a dance studio first, as dance was my 1st love growing up and lifting weights, working out came second. After I graduated from college in 2013, my plan was to move back home and start teaching dance classes at my old dance studio that I grew up in. FUN FACT: I have a Bachelor's Degree in Dance and the Performing Arts from Rhode Island College. I planned on teaching dance the rest of my life… Well, clearly you can see that changed. Everything happens for a reason, right?! 

   Long story short, my passions began to switch and I found myself coaching group fitness classes, training 1:1 clients, and while learning to manage different areas of a gym. Fast forward to 2020, I know we all try not to think about that year but this is when everything changed for me. I was furload from my personal training job, all the gyms shut down, and let’s just say your girl was panicking! I started to do some online training with clients I could no longer see in the gyms due to COVID and this is where the idea for JMick Fit was born. I never wanted to be furload again. I saw how quickly the world shut down and how the majority of people were put on unemployment. This all scared me very much. I am not someone who can just sit at home twiddling my thumbs waiting for the world to figure out its next move.

   After going back into the gyms during the summer of 2020, things were definitely not the same. Things were hard in the corporate world and quite frankly, I was done working for corporations as they took a lot of money for training and gave little to their trainers. I was no longer interested in running around a gym for 10-12 hours a day, teaching back to back classes, and being exhausted all the time. My health was suffering and I was no longer happy there. 

   In April of 2021 started training some clients at home in our fully equipped garage gym while I also created an online client base, and we have been growing/ learning/ everything in between ever since. Today, JMick Fit has helped over 50+ women lose weight, gain muscle, while finding more sustainability in their health, habits, and overall routine. We have created an unbelievable community between clients and coaches for extra accountability, support, and education. It has been nothing but easy but that is the only real way we grow out of our comfort zones. JMick Fit is a strong team of 3 (including myself) incredible women who I am so blessed to have in my corner to help with social media, leads, back end office work, with the best listening here for all of my vents and ideas. It has been an incredible journey so far in the 2 years JMick Fit has been alive. We are so far to go as we continue to learn who we are and what we can really do to help our clients and anyone else that comes our way in hopes to revamp their health in the right way.

   JMick Fit focuses on helping new moms and busy women learn how to prioritize themself through building sustainable habits through their health in their chaotic seasons of life. We want our women to feel confident in their skin again, have the energy to run around with their kids, all while learning how to build foundational habits in their health to show that taking care of themselves is just as important as taking care of the family and everyone else around them.

Client Onboarding and Operations

 "I'm involved in a lot of different things at JMick Fit - I help Jillian with all sorts of stuff, from branding to marketing to design and strategy. And on top of that, I'm actually a client too! But that's not all - I also run my own business called Isamay Designs, where I create custom wedding signage. After my own wedding earlier this year, I realized how much I love the wedding industry and wanted to help make other people's special days even more amazing. When I'm not working, I'm all about my health and wellness journey. Mental health is a big priority for me, and I'm always trying to learn and grow in that area."
