Our Coaches
Jess McCutcheon-Schour
Growing up on Cape Cod, I have always led an active life. Throughout high school I played a variety of sports including softball and basketball, and was a competitive horseback rider.
I continued to be very active while at the University of Vermont, where I graduated with a degree in Business Administration. During college I was introduced to kettlebells and strength by a personal trainer. Kettlebell training not only changed me physically, but emotionally as well. I felt empowered to change my body through movements that made me feel strong and more confident.
After graduation, I moved to Boston and worked at MIT Sloan School of Management. During that time, I continued to train with kettlebells and decided to complete the Strong First (SFG) Kettlebell Certification. After completing the certification, I knew I wanted to be a coach and decided to make a career change.
I began coaching clients and eventually became an owner of Ethos. Seeing the impact being healthy and strong can have on a person’s life is the best part of this job. On top of that, the Ethos team and community members are incredible; making this the best job.
Growing up right here in Boston I spent most of my youth actually as a musician playing shows around the city and recording albums.
I began my journey into fitness during my freshman year at Franklin Pierce University where I spontaneously joined the rugby team. As I went through college and began to work out more for sports I became a more confident person on and off the field, eventually discovering a new passion leading me to complete my first personal trainer certification.
Upon graduating college I got my first job as a personal trainer and haven’t looked back! In my 5 years as a personal trainer, I’ve had the opportunity to work with various clients ranging from complete beginners to competitive athletes. These experiences have taught me that my real passion as a trainer is to help members reach their goals no matter what they may be and become the strongest version of themselves.
As a coach, I believe that my job is to help you achieve your goals by finding the perfect balance of strength and enjoying yourself. If you enjoy what you do, then you’ll put the most consistent effort into your training, and that’s where results come from!

Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawai’i, I played sports my entire life. Football, basketball, baseball, and track & field were the main sports that I participated in. I was fortunate enough to earn a football scholarship to attend San Diego State University.
At SDSU, I played football as a linebacker and graduated with a Bachelors in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Fitness Specialist. After my collegiate career, I pursued the NFL and trained for the NFL Pro Day working out for numerous NFL, CFL, and UFL teams. After a year of pursuing football, I decided to begin my health and fitness career as a strength coach and personal trainer.
I am currently studying for the CSCS certification, so that I can further my knowledge in a field that I am passionate about. I enjoy working with highly motivated individuals, whether they are athletes or people who want to achieve their goals. With my experience and passion, my goal as a strength coach is to motivate, inspire, and push my clients to exceed their potential. In my free time, I enjoy going to the beach with my family and friends and exploring Boston with my fiancé.
I’ve had a different path to becoming a Strength and Conditioning coach than most.
Throughout my life I have played a variety of sports from soccer to racing and a multitude of others until I found my home in rugby. I was lucky enough to get recruited to play division one rugby for Arkansas State University, one of the top national programs. I had always worked out through high school but college was the first exposure I had to proper strength and conditioning training. This is where I started developing my passion for training and learning new techniques. However, I decided to pursue a career outside of fitness.
During my time in corporate I found that I was happiest when I was in the gym, two years ago I started coaching part-time. Studying to achieve my Functional Strength and Conditioning Certification from Mike Boyle, I realized that I wanted to pursue a career in fitness so I made the jump.
I believe that the best way you can enhance your everyday life is when there is a consistent training program that’s enjoyable and rewarding, it’s my job to make that happen so that you want to keep training, feeling good and looking good.
