Our second Hottest Trainer contestant, Jessica Daley, has traveled all over the world, but she'll always be a Philly girl at heart. In fact, the lifelong ballerina and born performer even busted a move or two for the 76ers Dance Team before joining Philly's Koresh Dance Company in 2004. This was only after Daley earned her BFA in Modern Dance from UArts—along with the prestigious award for "Most Dramatic Interpretation of a Justin Timberlake Song" by her best friend. Not a shabby resume for the Philly native, whose current gigs also include leading cardio barre classes at SWEAT Fitness.

Outside of maintaining her chiseled figure, Daley's hobbies include binge-watching SVU, cataloging "yo mama" jokes, and enjoying leisurely jogs to the beat of Tom Jones's "It's not unusual." Funny, we know, but Daley didn't achieve that body through joking around: "Rome wasn't built in a day," she says. "If you want exceptional results, you have to put in the work." Duly noted.
