Jessica Cooke (Thrive Academy) Reviews 18

Amazing experience!
I joined the 3‑month Thrive Academy Challenge in January, and after just two short months I’ve seen a huge transformation in my strength, fitness, and—most importantly—my mindset. Jessica is an incredible coach and mentor. Her workouts are easy to follow, accessible for all abilities, and delivered with so much encouragement and energy.

What really sets her apart is the time she takes to truly understand each of her Thrivers—their goals, their challenges, and what support they need to succeed. Her guidance is always uplifting, informative, and genuinely supportive.

Her approach is refreshingly simple: no calorie counting, no overcomplication—just three nourishing meals a day and four 20‑minute workouts a week. All you have to do is show up and trust the process. And honestly, it works.

I joined Thrive Academy in November 2025 and so happy that I did . Jessica is a great coach and mentor and really believes in enabling and empowering women over 40. She celebrates women's lives without judgement ,She encourages healthy eating and lifestyle change without a focus on calorie counting. Jessica believes in self compassion that helps to reduce stress and increases resilience. Her approach works on mind ,body and soul. Her system works and worth checking it out.

Jessica's Thrive Academy has been one of the best decisions I ever made. It is a practical, no nonsense programme. I have never stuck with any other programme before. I am here 8 months now and I will be staying. Jessica is so encouraging, supportive and truly believes in everything she does. My mobility and fitness have improved so much. I am achieving things I never thought I would.

Jessica’s Thrive Academy is an amazing group, it is hard to describe the depth of benefit that comes from the program, it is all the little things combined make it so beneficial to both physical and mental health, there is constant support and workouts that are easy to follow yet challenging, they can be worked around your own schedule, Jessica is always on hand with guidance and words of wisdom, I cannot speak highly enough of this program.

I joined Jessica's group in June and after 4 months I can honestly say her system works.

She offers a holistic approach which targets stress and overwhelm, as well as a wonderful workout program. As a shift worker, I found it difficult to have discipline when it came to fitness, but Jessica helped me build that. I love how simple she makes it, every week the workouts are laid out for you to simply press play and follow along. I never thought 20 minute workouts would actually have a visible effect on my body, but after about 6 weeks I could see and feel a difference, and it's continued since then. I'm fitter, stronger, slimmer and even my blood pressure is lower!

Jessica is incredibly supportive, non-judmental and has a really healthy view of nutrition. No weighing scales or food tracking here, which is such a breath of fresh air! I also came into the program with some ongoing injuries but Jessica helped come up with ways to work around them and, for the first time in many years, I haven't had relapses from working out, thanks to her. I love how it's done at home, with just a couple of very cheap pieces of equipment and its all done and dusted in half an hour, without having to drive to and from a gym. I've also found the meditations and breath work wonderful.

I signed up to Jessica's programme as I was stuck in a rut and needed a change. The programme requires a big time commitment as its not just the exercise, it's mindfulness and accountability also. What I enjoyed was that I could do the workouts easily from my home at a time that suited me and my life. The workouts really do make you strong & fit - I did Croagh Patrick recently having never done it before and got up & down easily with no stiffness/aches after.
Her 3 month programme gave me a chance to reset and get back into the consistent habit of exercise. I'm going it alone again but hoping that what I've learned from the programme will stand to me. Thanks Jessica ❤️

Thrive Academy is so different to anything I've ever done before and has changed the way I think about fittness completely. 2 years into it, working out is now a non-negotiable which is something I never thought I'd say. It is not about dieting, it is about feeling good in your body and mind. Jessica gently guides all the members to set one goal at a time to set up all the pillars needed to be strong, healthy and happy. All the tools are given in the dashboard for workouts, goals setting, check ins and guidelines. To back this all up, we also have an amazing community of women who back each other 100%. If you are thinking about joining, just do it, there is no pressure only support!

I joined Thrive Academy last April and I can honestly say it's been one of the best things I've ever done for myself. You could not meet a more inspiring, kind, genuine and motivating no nonsense coach than Jessica. The programme is designed for busy women in their 40's- to fit around your life- workouts to suit where you are in life and realistic, attainable fitness goals with incredible support from Jessica and the other Thrivers. It's not just a fitness programme, Jessica takes into account that looking after your mind is just as important- this is done through meditations, breathwork, looking at nutrition and importance of self care. Jessica is passionate about what she does and has built a brilliant community of women who support each other. I've found myself trying things I wouldn't have tried before and am enjoying the challenge, If you're looking to invest in you a little bit more and are fed up with the usual advice or gyms I couldn't recommend the Thrive Academy more.

Jessica is an excellent coach her program lets you work at your own pace with accountability & flexibility. I am a long term member of Thrive Academy & the support in the group is 2nd to none

Thrive Academy has been brilliant for me, really easy to access, I can do it at home and shave all the travel time off my workout. The variety of 10 minute workouts and the longer 20 minute workouts are brilliant, each week is designed for you so you don’t have to review and pick workouts, just log in and do today’s workout. The mindset piece is brilliant, learning how much stress impacts your health especially as a 40+ woman! Jessica never pushes you to change your whole lifestyle all at once, little by little you add one thing establish it and then add on as you go! There is so much follow up and support and just down to earth advice! I would highly recommend to anyone. It becomes your little community 🥰

I am nearly a year with Thrive and have to say I would not be without it now. I has changed my approach and thoughts around fitness, movement and strength training and really enhanced my physical fitness and improved my mindset with the well rounded programme of workouts , thrive minds, breathwork, affirmations, positive interactions with members , accountability to keep on achieving my goals and embrace setbacks as well as achievements. Jessica has a great positive approach and is so encouraging and supportive through ups and downs. The daily messages really help with setting intentions for the day ahead and also monthly themes and progressive workouts where I have noticed real growth in my strength and fitness and abilities to adopt calm centred mindset when setbacks of every day life try to
derail. Thrive has lots of resources, tools, support to help achieve goals a great coach to help you get there.

Joining Thrive Academy with Jessica has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health and well-being. As a woman over 40, I was looking for a programme that truly understood the unique challenges and needs of this stage of life, and Jessica delivers that and so much more.

Her approach is the perfect balance of strength and self-care. The workouts are thoughtfully designed to build fitness, energy, and confidence without being overwhelming, and the addition of meditation and mindfulness practices has been truly transformative. I feel stronger in both body and mind.

Jessica brings such warmth, encouragement, and deep knowledge to every session. She creates a welcoming and supportive space where everyone feels seen, valued, and empowered.
She’s a fantastic coach, and this programme is a gift.

I love Thrive Academy because I finally found a programme that looks at me as a person. The daily Thrive Body is a great workout which is making me fitter & stronger. The Thrive mind gives me space to breathe & focus. Fabulous group of online thrives who are so supportive.. Jessica has walked the walk & uses her insight to help me to keep going.

Thrive Academy is a very practical, easy to follow, supportive successful programme. I can’t praise it highly enough. It’s is so easy to incorporate into even the busiest of days. The community is so supportive and Jessica is a leader/coach that inspires a person to do well.

I am 9 months on this programme and have to say it's been the best investment in myself for years and years. If you are looking for a programme that focusses on all the aspects (body, mind, community, health) and more importantly concentrates on long lasting change, this is the one for you. Jessica is kind and understanding but with a no nonsense approach. She lives and breathes what she does and is authentic 100%. Don't delay sign up for this programme and you'll be delighted.

I’m a Thiver & love the programme. Jessica’s understanding & focus on the holistic mind body soul approach supports women over 40 with multiple demands, to look after their mental & physical well-being so they can be calm, healthy & happy on a week to week basis! I can workout at home, practice self-care & manage my stress levels by getting helpful strategies from her Podcast & check in meetings too. I love the support available & the members are all fab too!!

Thrive Academy has been a game changer for me. Super exercise videos- lots of options, with and without equipment. Great resources too to tackle stress, mindset and nutrition. I love the private members group too.
So convenient to be able to do this in my own kitchen!

Joined Thrive Academy 8 months ago and it was a great decision. Jessica is amazing in every aspect and the programme is TLC for your mind, body and soul. Highly recommend.
