Jess Sims is a Peloton Trainer, sports reporter and host based in New York City. Jess is a reporter on ESPN’s flagship program College GameDay, works as both an in-arena host and sideline reporter for the New York Liberty, and most recently became a contributor for ABC’s Good Morning America. A former collegiate athlete, Jess began her career as a teacher for Teach for America in Houston. She then continued working in multiple teaching and administrative roles in Harlem and her hometown of Boston, always incorporating health and wellness into her programming. She eventually changed course and found a love for a different type of education in a setting she is most passionate about and familiar with fitness. At Peloton, Jess teaches tread, strength, and bootcamp classes to over seven million members worldwide, for both adults and families, recognizing the importance of both physical and mental wellness at every age.

Though she may occupy many different roles, each of her different jobs seamlessly tie back to her love for sports, wellness, and education. When she’s not teaching class or on the air, you can find Jess spending time at home with her two rescue dogs or working with different community organizations focused on empowering youth—especially young girls and women—helping them find their strength and build their confidence.
