JJ Salinas

JJ is a personal trainer and group fitness instructor at The Energy Lab in Redlands, CA, bringing energy, encouragement, and a strong sense of purpose to every session she leads. She grew up in nearby Rialto and later attended UC Irvine, where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and Criminology.

Growing up, JJ was active in sports and played softball, volleyball, and basketball, building a lifelong appreciation for movement, teamwork, and discipline. Her family also shaped her passion for helping others – her father served as a firefighter, instilling a strong sense of civic duty, and her mother works in education.

Today, JJ carries those values into both of her careers. In addition to coaching and training clients at The Energy Lab, she works full time in the Rialto Unified School District, continuing her commitment to helping others grow stronger, more confident, and capable in their everyday lives.
