Adam Tenny
Adam helped start Creed Athens after spending many years as a member himself. He worked out at Creed Fitness in Watkinsville for almost 4 years before realizing he had a passion for fitness. He tends to stay more behind the scenes, helping more with the administrative and financial side of the business as he has more experience to offer in that arena.
But it is not uncommon to see him in the gym sweating alongside his fellow Creeders! “I have so enjoyed getting to know all of our members and being able to be a part of creating the very same environment that changed me from a fitness skeptic to a sold out believer. The friends I have made here at Creed will be with me for life.”
Kierney Jackson
Kierney is a former Division 1 Track and Field athlete at the University of Georgia, where she competed at the highest level of collegiate athletics. With a deep passion for fitness and a background in athletics, Kierney brings a unique perspective to coaching, blending discipline and expertise gained from both sports and medical experience.
She is also currently studying to become a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist
After a rewarding 16-year career as a Physician Assistant, Kierney found a second love in fitness instruction, driven by a lifelong love for movement and the outdoors. When not leading workouts, Kierney enjoys traveling and spending quality time with her three children, aged 13, 10, and 6. Whether it’s chasing adventure outdoors or creating new memories with their family, Kierney values the importance of staying active, connected, and always moving forward.
