Jesse Colon and Jazmine Constantino aren’t just fitness professionals, they are community leaders. Together, they’ve built something truly exceptional at Cross Kicks Fitness South Elgin: a space where discipline meets encouragement, and where every member is seen, supported, and empowered.

Jesse, a proud veteran and former 74D (CBRN) Sergeant in the Illinois Army National Guard, brings a lifetime of training, coaching, and service. With a background in Kinesiology and numerous fitness certifications, his expertise spans personal training, youth fitness, group classes, and more. Jazmine, with over a decade in sports marketing and a degree in Business Management & Entrepreneurship, serves as the gym’s operational powerhouse. She leads marketing, events, outreach, and is a certified NASM personal trainer herself.

The idea to open their own Cross Kicks Fitness started at a wedding, of all places. A conversation with a fellow guest sparked Jesse’s curiosity about the brand, and one workout later—he was hooked. After working with Founders Tony & Abby Wuebker to join the corporate CKF team, Jesse and Jazmine launched the South Elgin location in 2021. This April, they celebrated four years in business and community impact.

CKF South Elgin offers 40-minute workouts that mix boxing, kickboxing, strength training, and cardio. The trainer is included to help modify movements for all skill levels or challenge the advanced members. With no class times, members can jump in when it works best for them—ideal for busy schedules. InBody scans and heart rate monitoring bring science into every workout, helping members train smarter, not harder. But what truly sets CKF apart is its heart. Every year, Jesse and Jazmine host five charity events supporting causes for veterans, scholarships, and cancer awareness. 

Jesse and Jazmine believe in purposeful growth: not only expanding their studio but also their impact. From hosting Spartan DEKA events to keeping their Championship belt for the upcoming Cross Kicks Games competition in August, CKF South Elgin continues to be a place where strength, resilience, and friendships thrive.
