We approach wellness like the sport it is.
No serums. No gimmicks. Just sweat, science, and a training philosophy built entirely around women's bodies. And yes, we’re BIASed.
about the founder
This brand was born from personal experience navigating wellness with endometriosis — and from a simple truth: I got tired of fitness being sold like a trend.
Tired of women being told they're not enough. Tired of training programs designed for men, repackaged for women.
I've been coaching women for over a decade, and the most powerful transformations I've witnessed didn't come from harder workouts. They came from honoring where a woman actually is, physically, hormonally, and emotionally, and building from there.
I built Body is a Sport as a place where strength and real life coexist. Where your training supports your life, not overtakes it. Where we skip the performative and ground in the science.
Whether you're here to rebuild your routine, manage your energy, train through perimenopause, or simply feel strong again- I'm glad you found us.

Founder, Body is a Sport
FOUNDED ON SCIENCE + EXPERIENCE
Jillian Barnes founded Body Is A Sport (BIAS) to address the gap in support for women's health. Jillian's expertise is grounded in certifications in Performance Nutrition, Prenatal/Postnatal Fitness, and Fitness During Pregnancy, complemented by extensive training in yoga, strength training, and a degree in Nutrition. She's dedicated to empowering women to take charge of their health and challenging the underrepresentation of women in healthcare research. A decade of experience led Jillian to be voted Best Personal Trainer in Boston by Boston Common Magazine in 2022 and was named one of Boston's 2025 EXTRAordinary Women from the Women's Advancement Office of the Boston Mayor. She has since relocated from Boston to Savannah, Georgia, where she pursues an MFA in Luxury and Brand Management at SCAD while continuing to grow BIAS.
