Fitting Fitness Into Life: Jessie Corning

Jessie Corning has always been passionate about fitness. Over the years, her dedication has led her to invest in a complete PRx Performance setup. Her home gym includes a folding rack and bench, plates, a dip station, cable attachments, dumbbells, a landmine, and more. This setup has made a significant impact on her family's fitness journey.

“Fitness has always been an interest of mine. When my kids were small, I became a certified group fitness instructor and taught a variety of class formats like muscle conditioning, mat Pilates, yoga, and indoor cycling. In 2017, I began coaching and training in a boutique HIIT fitness program, where resistance training was emphasized 2-3 days per week. The structure of that format began to develop my musculature, and I was inspired to see what my body could do if I paired the regular resistance training with a good nutrition program. I committed to an 8-week challenge and completely transformed my body. At the end of that nutrition and training program, people began occasionally asking me if I train competitively. At the time, I had no intention of stepping on stage; but that seed was planted.

“Over the next several years I continued lifting regularly and periodically going through short nutrition phases. After awhile, I realized that I was ready for a new way to challenge myself. I didn’t know much about competitive bodybuilding, so I connected with coaches who could help me get ready and teach me what to expect. In preparation for my first show in 2022, I began supplementing my group workouts with additional training at home. By the time the competition came around, I had achieved my leanest and yet most muscular physique up to that time. I didn’t know going into it whether I would enjoy the actual competition experience, but it turned out to be extremely fun for me. I’ve been enjoying the stage ever since!”

Jessie and her family wanted fitness to be convenient and readily accessible. Having the equipment at home makes it possible for her teenagers, as well as her and her husband, to get a safe, effective workout anytime. Owning a home gym allows them to work out on any day, at any time, without being restricted by commercial gym hours. It has also made fitness a more regular part of their kids' routines.

Jessie advises anyone thinking about investing in a home gym to go ahead and get the accessories that will make their workouts enjoyable for the types of movements they prefer. For her, the cable system is fantastic for the way she likes to train. While it's not an absolute requirement, she knows she enjoys her whole setup more because she's not limited to just the barbell and dumbbells.

As a natural figure pro bodybuilder, being able to train effectively is very important to Jessie. She loves that her PRx equipment provides a lot of options for variety in her workouts. As a mom of teenagers, providing a safe lifting environment is crucial to her. This equipment is exactly what she wanted for her family to safely enjoy fitness in their everyday life.
