About Jess

Hi, I’m Jess! I am a fitness instructor, content creator (@jkmckay), and dog mom among many things. Maybe you found me here from a viral TikTok, or we’ve met IRL. Either way, I am so glad you are here, and look forward to connecting with you if you have any questions.

Originally from Toronto, I now reside in NYC with my husband and two dogs (@iggyadelaide & Phoebe). I first began dabbling in social media as a dog mom in 2019 but since have grown my online presence to include my own content on TikTok and YouTube, and I work creating content for other brands. With my MFA in Musical Theatre you can always count on my energy and strong ability to communicate with confidence. 

In my own content, I love sharing body positivity, confidence, athleisure wear reviews, and daily vlogs. I believe in fitness for every body.

I’m a fitness instructor and yoga teacher with over 5 years’ experience teaching in studio. Since 2020, I’ve taken my teaching online - maybe you’ve taken one of my IRL classes or TikTok Lives (@jkmckay).

I’ve always worked toward making my classes a place where you can feel safe and included. There will always be ways to adapt the movement in my classes to fit your body’s needs - TODAY. In this present moment.

You can find me on the schedule at barre3 West Village for in-studio classes and for those outside of NYC, some classes will be available for livestream.
