the people.

we’re carmen and tessa: best friends, NASM certified personal trainers, and the women behind exceptionally average.

​

we met at nc state university, and our friendship was built on being the kind of girls who could say “yes” to just about anything. club soccer? yes. pick-up basketball? absolutely. football with the boy neighbors? of course. runs to pullen park, rock climbing, mountain biking… we mean anything.

if you know us, you know we’re always on the go.

now, as full-time working women out of college, we train purely out of passion. and we understand how hard it is to balance health, relationships, careers, and everything in between. life is full. schedules are complicated. energy is limited. that’s exactly how exceptionally average came to life. because when life is complicated enough, your workout plan shouldn’t be.

​

we want everyone to be able to say "yes" to whatever they want to. we train for the moments that matter most and we want to help people do the same.
