About Chesna Closs & Fit Esteem

Chesna Closs, MSW, first experimented with working out as a teenager when she began using her mother’s cast-iron frying pans as weights.  Several years later, after learning that her cholesterol was high, she joined a gym and became a bodybuilder. Over time, she lowered her cholesterol, lost body fat and transformed her physique but something else happened as well. Her self-esteem soared.

Being fit instilled in her such an intense feeling of pride that she labeled it “fit esteem.” She described fit esteem as the “feeling you get from being fit.”  In 1998, Chesna decided to combine her background in social services with her passion for fitness.  She became a personal trainer and founded Fit Esteem Personal Training Services. In 2010, Chesna was appointed to the New Jersey Council on Physical Fitness and Sports by Governor Jon. S. Corzine.  She will serve on the council until 2013.  Chesna is certified by the American Council on Exercise.
