Meet the Team: Jamelah & Patrick

This past month we have been privileged to welcome two exceptional trainers to our team. With warm, motivating energy and a wealth of knowledge, we cannot wait for you all to get to know trainers Jamelah and Patrick!

Meet Jamelah

Jamelah has been passionate about fitness and sports since childhood. She grew up playing just about every sport—basketball and soccer topping the list. In high school, she competed in basketball and track and field, excelling in throwing events.

She studied Physical Education with a concentration in Exercise Science at Bridgewater State University, where she continued her track and field career in the discus, shot put, hammer, and weight throw. Jamelah has previous experience as a personal trainer and also worked as a physical education teacher and assistant coach for the Lesley University track and field team.

Outside of the studio, Jamelah loves weight lifting, basketball (both playing and watching), hiking, and spending time outdoors.

Meet Patrick

Patrick Aiken Jr. brings five years of training experience and a deep foundation in sports performance. Originally from East Boston, Patrick’s athletic roots run deep—he played football and basketball growing up, later competing at Dean College, where he and his football team won the ECFC conference title in 2019.

During his off-seasons, he interned with the Strength & Conditioning Department, discovering his passion for coaching. He earned both his bachelor's and master’s degrees in Exercise Science, with a concentration in Sports Performance, and worked as a Graduate Fellow at Tufts University in their Sports Performance Department.

Patrick later returned to coach football and basketball at East Boston High School, leading strength and conditioning both in- and off-season. He believes that everyone can unleash their inner athlete through fitness.
