Hi there! I’m Jayd Harrison

I’m a personal trainer and health coach from Raleigh, North Carolina. I grew up in the fitness industry with parents who were both “gym rats” and learned the value of exercise & nutrition at a young age. I have helped hundreds of individuals to get in shape, build strength, and improve their overall health & wellness since I began teaching in 2014.

For me, fitness is all about taking control of your life and stepping into your power to achieve your goals.

We all have pressures in our lives that push us away from being our healthiest, happiest selves. If you really want to get in shape, you have to change your mindset and lifestyle to combat these pressures.

Knowledge is power—so the first thing you need to do is learn more about what a healthy lifestyle looks like. I educate my clients through 1-on-1 coaching, livestreams, and messages in the Trainerize app.

You’ll also need to build healthy habits into your life, one by one (I’ll teach you how to do this).

Join me and take control of your fitness & wellness!

Certifications and Experience

I began teaching group fitness through AFAA/NASM in 2014, specializing in a barefoot fitness program called WillPower & Grace. In 2015, I began to learn American boxing and kickboxing while working for Title Boxing Club in Cary, NC, where I also began my career as a certified personal trainer through NASM. I continued to grow my personal training business between 2016 and 2019, training in a variety of locations (including apartment gyms, Triangle Self-Defense Training Center, and Fitness 19). I also began to develop my online personal training program using the Trainerize app to expand beyond the Triangle area of North Carolina in 2018.

Over the years, I’ve studied a variety of programs and techniques to incorporate in my personal training and group fitness programs, including fitness for seniors (Silver Sneakers and Golden Hearts), Practical Yoga (AFAA), and Krav Maga (certified 2019 at Combat Sports Academy in Dublin, CA).

Right now, I’m working on completing a certification as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist with the Strength and Conditioning Association.
