Backed by Experience.
Jai Gordon, a native of Southwest Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is the founder and CEO of Gymratz Athletics, a woman-owned fitness company dedicated to transforming lives through health, nutrition, and fitness.
A standout athlete from an early age, Jai earned a full basketball scholarship to Panola Junior College, where she led the nation in assists during the 2002–2003 season, before continuing her Division I career at Stephen F. Austin State University, where she earned her bachelor’s degree. She also proudly served eight years in the U.S. Army Reserves and retired after a distinguished 13-year career as a police officer.
Jai’s passion for fitness began when she helped a childhood friend lose more than 90 pounds in just seven months. That life-changing experience inspired her to establish Gymratz Athletics, where she has spent more than 15 years helping men, women, and children transform their bodies, improve their health, and build lifelong healthy habits through exercise, nutrition, education, and accountability.
Committed to improving the health of her community, Jai also founded the Gymratz Athletics Annual 5K Run. For the past 10 years, the event has raised awareness about obesity in the African American community while promoting health, fitness, and wellness.
Through her leadership and service, Jai Gordon continues to inspire others to take control of their health, push beyond their limits, and become the best version of themselves.

Discipline. Dedication. Results. Let’s go!
Originally from Virginia Beach, Virginia, I proudly served 21 years active duty in the United States Air Force, honorably retiring after an incredible military career that included four deployments including service in Afghanistan. My military experience instilled the discipline, resilience, and commitment that I now bring to every client I train.
As a Certified Personal Trainer and Certified Nutritionist, I am passionate about helping people transform their lives through fitness, proper nutrition, and accountability. Whether your goal is weight loss, building strength, or simply living a healthier lifestyle, I’m committed to helping you reach your full potential.
At Gymratz Athletics, I believe fitness is about more than just working out, it’s about creating sustainable habits, building confidence, and becoming the strongest version of yourself while also having fun and enjoying the process. My mission is to motivate, educate, and empower every client to achieve lasting results.
