Owner 

Hi!! I’m Theresa – owner and trainer at Achieve. Born and raised in the Chicagoland area, I made the crazy decision to up and move to Marana in 2018. Little did I know at that time, that move would lead me to where I am today. Growing up with 8 younger siblings, it’s always been important to me to lead by example and make a difference. I’ve spent the majority of my adult years in corporate banking. After moving and going back to the same ol thing, I decided it was time for something new. I spent years uncomfortable in gyms and yo-yo dieting, and decided it was time for a change. Because of this, I developed a love for fitness & nutrition and realized I could channel that passion into something more. At that point, Achieve was born. At Achieve, we strive to be a place where everyone feels welcome, and we work hard with each person to make sure they have a plan to meet their goals. With the majority of my family being back in the Midwest, the Achieve family IS my family. 

General Manager 

Hi, I’m Jenn. I was born and raised in Missouri. I went to college in my hometown and focused on a degree in Audiology (hearing and balance). Once I graduated, I joined the Air Force as an Audiologist. The idea was to stay with the Air Force for as long as it made sense for me and my family. Well, after 20 amazing years of serving my country, providing quality medical care for our service members and their families, and lastly as a leader in the medical group, my family & I decided to retire here in Marana, AZ. Throughout my Air Force career, I realized that my true passion is to help people grow in their own capabilities and reach goals they never thought they could. I found that I can still bring that passion to life within the Achieve family! This gym and its members are truly an extension of my family. I love to spend time doing life with them! I couldn’t have asked for a better “retirement job”! 

HIIT Group Instructor 

What is there to say!? I grew up as an Army Brat. I think I am still a brat. I competed in gymnastics and performed in many Ballet performances as a child to high school. In High School, I ran track, (100m, 200m, 400m and long jump) and was in the Modern Dance Company where we performed at many different venues. After High School my life went in many directions, and I finally found myself in the Army as a Preventive Medicine Specialist. I served 9 years until I was injured and was medically discharged. I then got a few degrees in teaching and now I am a Teacher Mentor for TUSD. With the stress of teaching and directing along with getting older I developed poor habits with eating and working out. I started to play on a COED soccer team to assist with the stress. About 2 years ago I was introduced to Achieve Strength and Fitness where I found a new passion for caring for myself and my health. I was honored to have been asked to join this team of amazing trainers and truly love this new journey! I look forward to our fitness journey together! 

Strength Trainer & Nutrition Coach 

Hi, I’m Oscar. I am very outgoing with a great passion for fitness and hard work. I love to go by the principal of putting 100% in everything I do and then some! I thrive on bringing positive energy and helping others as much as possible, being that light to help others reach their goals brings me great joy. I’ve had a long journey with fitness that started when I was young and found a love for sports and parkour. After many years of football, I found a great passion of combining calisthenics and weight training which is called hybrid training. This journey has brought me great experience and knowledge with nutrition and exercises that have greatly increased my strength, physique, and understanding of the skills that can be mastered through calisthenics with your own bodyweight. I hope to increase the passion and philosophy of what hybrid training can bring to your body and help you reach your goals while gaining impressive skills in the process. Looking forward to training you soon and impacting your journey within the realm of fitness! 

HIIT Group Instructor 

Who is Veronica?? Well you’re missing out if you don’t already know! I was born in Washington state and moved to Arizona when I was 13. I was a cheerleader at Marana High School and graduated in 2021. I started coming to Achieve as a member a couple years ago and fell in love with the family environment. Once I graduated, I knew that I wanted to become a more permanent part of this family – as staff! When you come in to see us, don’t mind my random outburst of different accents (it’s just a personality trait at this point)! 

Group Fitness Instructor 

Hi! I’m Jesse, I grew up in good ol Picture Rocks and graduated from Marana High School where I competed as a varsity wrestler for 4 years. I then enlisted into the Air Force as Security Forces where I received the privilege to learn from the very best. Then came full circle when I became a self-defense and Combat Arms instructor. After 9 great years, my family and I decided that it was time to come home. The Achieve family welcomed us with open arms and allowed me to continue my passion for helping people be the best that they can be!
