Celebrating his 32nd birthday in just a couple weeks (DOB 09/26/82)  The Biggest Loser Jessie Pavelka may just be on the fast track to be america’s newest favorite personal trainer and fitness personality. This Corpus Christi, Texas native was an athletic kid and played high school football until he began attending the University of North Texas in 2001.  As an undergrad Jessie decided not to pursue his passion for football and ditched his pursuit of a Business Degree when he became involved in the world of Bodybuilding.  Jessie worked as a PFS (Physical Fitness Specialist) Personal Trainer until the bright lights of Hollywood came calling and lured him to Los Angeles where he began pursuing an acting and modeling career.  As a sought after Los Angeles Personal Trainer Jessie continued to juggle training clients with his many gigs as a fitness model as well as small acting roles.

The “entertainment business” soon became exhausting for him and he moved back to his native Texas where he worked for a commercial construction company.   In 2007 he decided to give Los Angeles another shot and in 2009 Jessie was cast as the fitness coach / personal trainer for Lifetime’s “Diet Tribe.,” which aired for 13 episodes.  He also had a stint endorsing the “Step360” Fitness Product / workout routine. In 2011 Bodybuilding.com named Jessie “Personal Trainer of the Month.”
