Jim O'Brien

I'm passionate about helping people improve their health and wellness. Growing up in a family that valued both athletics and academics, I found my path by bringing those two worlds together---coaching people through their fitness journeys while helping them better understand their bodies and their potential. A Boston native, I studied Economics with a minor in Criminal Justice at Stonehill College and began my career working at a Fortune 500 bank. While navigating the traditional 9-5 desk job, I realized I wanted something more meaningful from my work. With the support of my wife, I decided to go all in and pursue a career in fitness. I began working at a local gym as both a personal trainer and group fitness instructor, helping as many people as possible build strength, confidence, and healthier habits. My career eventually expanded to working with what is now the world's largest fitness company, where I coached group fitness classes and later served as a Regional Fitness Educator for Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New York City. In 2022, I was honored to be recognized as a Top Three Finalist for Regional Fitness Educator at Orangetheory Fitness. My goal is helping people get the most out of their daily lives---moving better, feeling stronger, and becoming more confident in themselves.
