Who is Jessica Powell? 

Powell's Instagram bio states that she's a performance athlete, apart from being a personal trainer. She's an accomplished bodybuilder and Whitney was bitten by the fitness bug after being inspired by Powell's passion for strength training. The love between the two ladies is mutual. While Whitney depends a lot on her to remain fit and also falls back on her when she needs someone to hear her out, Powell too leaves no stone unturned while motivating her friend to keep on track with fitness.
