Through personalized movement, nutrition, accountability, and support, KBF helps you build confidence, consistency, and long-term progress so your healthy lifestyle becomes something you can live — not something you have to constantly restart.

TESTIMONIALS

What others are saying

"The physical, mental, and emotional endurance her training plan provided still benefits me to this day."

"In the Spring of 2023, I decided to train for the Louisville, KY Half-Ironman in August 2024. A friend recommended Jamie as a training coach. I could not have asked for a better coach, advocate, or supporter for my training! Jamie was an expert at identifying small changes I could make in movement and alignment that made a big difference in my performance and how my body felt. She worked with me week over week to make adjustments to my training schedule that kept me on track but accommodated my needs. She helped me develop a nutrition plan that ran in parallel to my training plan. When race day came, I felt confident and ready. Jamie had guided me through a training plan that resulted in me crossing the finish line of the Half-Ironman with a huge smile on my face, feeling strong and so accomplished! 

I could never have done the race without her, and the physical, mental, and emotional endurance her training plan provided still benefits me to this day. I'd welcome the chance to work with Jamie again and strongly recommend her for anyone looking for a coach that will build and adjust a personalized training plan to meet your needs and get you to your goals, whatever they are!"

"Improve your overall well-being"

“I have been to multiple trainers and fitness programs throughout the years but would just end up having issues with my neck, Achilles Tendon, or Plantar Fasciitis. Jamie is the first person that has successfully helped me overcome my issues by creating unique individualized plans for me while considering my previous injuries or ailments to correct compensation, build strength, and improve my mobility and balance. This is the first time in years that my neck has not hurt, which makes me so hopeful that I can do this. Jamie is extremely motivating and a positive force who is extremely knowledgeable and skilled in her field. I would highly recommend Jamie at Kinetic Balance Fitness to anyone looking to improve their overall well-being.”

-Jennifer S., Personalized Program & Virtual Gym, PA

"Jamie is the most amazing coach and what she teaches doesn’t take a lot of time. It just takes accountability so be in touch with her and you won’t be disappointed. I’ve been with Jamie for years and she has helped me immensely."

Linda H. Personal Training, FL

"I’m deeply grateful for the care, intelligence, and flexibility she brings to her work."

"Jamie is truly one of a kind. I have a medically complex history and a body that doesn’t always follow “standard” patterns, and she consistently takes the time to understand that context and build from it. She doesn’t force templates or assumptions — she listens, adapts, and meets me where I actually am. Her ability to integrate science, kinesiology, and real human awareness is rare, and it shows in every session. She has an intuitive sense for when to challenge and when to modify, and that gives me both confidence and permission to listen to my body instead of fighting it. I trust her completely, and I’m deeply grateful for the care, intelligence, and flexibility she brings to her work.

"The best I have felt in years!"

"Before I started Jamie's workouts, I had to wear a knee sleeve to help with knee pain. But after discussing my situation with Jamie, she tailored specific exercises and warm-ups that improved my mobility and decreased my knee pain substantially. It has kept me exercising to her workouts for a year plus, this is the best I have felt in years!

Sharon M., Virtual Gym Member, PA

"Jamie's personalized approach and attention to detail have made a world of difference in my overall well-being."

"Working with Jamie as my personal trainer has been an absolute game-changer. Her individualized workouts have not only helped me build strength and alignment in my body but have also alleviated the regular pain I experience in my back and knees. Jamie's expertise and dedication have been evident from the start, and I am incredibly grateful for the positive impact she has had on my fitness journe.

Jamie's tailored workouts have been key to addressing my specific needs. She carefully designed exercises that targeted the areas requiring attention, gradually building strength and stability while minimizing the risk of injury. Through her guidance, I have experienced a significant reduction in back and knee pain, allowing me to keep up with my family's lifestyle. Jamie's personalized approach and attention to detail have made a world of difference in my overall well-being.

Beyond her technical expertise, Jamie's support and encouragement have been invaluable. She consistently motivates me to push beyond my comfort zone and exceed my own expectations. Jamie's genuine care for my progress and well-being is evident in every session, creating a positive and empowering training environment. I cannot recommend Jamie enough to anyone seeking a personal trainer who can effectively strengthen and align their body while providing the necessary support to overcome pain and limitations."

Hey, I'm Jamie

Founder of Kinetic Balance Fitness — and my mission is to help you build a body, lifestyle, and health plan that actually fits your life.

My path to coaching has been anything but one-dimensional. I grew up as an athlete, eventually becoming a collegiate springboard diver and winning 7 of 8 NCAA Division II diving titles. But behind the success were years of pain, injuries, and the constant pressure to push harder. Later, as I earned my Ph.D. in Molecular Genetics, became a researcher, teacher, wife, and mom, I began to understand health from a much deeper perspective.

Fitness was never just about looking a certain way. For me, it became a way to reduce pain, manage stress, rebuild energy, feel strong again, and show up fully in my life.

That experience shaped the heart of Kinetic Balance Fitness.

Today, I combine my background in science, strength and conditioning, human movement, nutrition, and behavior change to help people move better, feel stronger, prevent injury, and build what I call deep health — physical, mental, emotional, and lifestyle wellness that lasts.

At KBF, fitness is not one-size-fits-all. Your body, goals, schedule, injury history, stress levels, and real life all matter. Through comprehensive movement assessments, personalized training, follow-along workouts, nutrition support, habit coaching, and an encouraging online community, I help you build sustainable habits that support the life you actually want to live.

Whether you are getting back into exercise, navigating pain or stiffness, rebuilding strength, improving energy, or simply wanting a more supportive plan, my goal is to help you feel capable, confident, and connected to your body again.

Because you do not need another program that asks you to ignore your body.

You need fitness that respects your story.

Ready to move better, feel stronger, and build lasting health? I’d love to help you take the next step.

Jamie Jackel, PH.D. CSCS, BI-HMS & CPT, PN-MHC2, PN-NC1, PN-SSR

"Helps me live day-to-day more comfortably while building strength"

I have been working out with Jamie for a little over a year and she has changed my life. I have always had a tight core, with pain in different parts of my body. She has showed me ways to loosen my body in order to move better. This allows me to do my job and live day to day more comfortably, while building strength. The vast knowledge that she has of muscles, movements, nutrition make her the perfect fit for me. Her positive and upbeat personality makes me look forward to our next workout.

Lee M., Personal Training, PA

"The guesswork was taken out. I’m no longer in pain, I feel stronger and more confident, and I’m excited to workout again."

Before starting with Kinetic Balance Fitness, I was in a lot of pain, felt tight, and had a hard time going up and down stairs. I also felt confused about what to do with strength training.

Since starting, I’m no longer in pain. I feel stronger, more toned, more balanced, and more confident. I have more energy, feel better playing with my daughter, and can stand all day at work with less discomfort.

The best part was having the guesswork taken out. My workouts were planned for me, tailored to my needs, and I had support whenever I needed it. Jamie is passionate, encouraging, and makes the whole experience feel positive and doable.

If you feel stuck or unsure what to do, start this program. It is unique, effective, and designed specifically for you.
