Terri Stokes
Teressa “Terri” Stokes is a dynamic and accomplished professional originally from Jamaica, who has made her mark in the Turks and Caicos Islands since moving there in 2012.
Born and raised in Jamaica, Terri was immersed in an environment where fitness and sports were a way of life. Her father, an Olympic athlete, and her mother, a professional bodybuilder, both instilled a deep appreciation for physical fitness and discipline in her from an early age. Growing up in such an active household shaped her into the person she is today—dedicated, goal-driven, and passionate about health and wellness.
However, Terri’s true passion has always been fitness, and her upbringing laid the foundation for this passion to grow. After attending Outdoor Fitness Classes for two years, she decided to take her love for fitness to the next level. Recognizing an opportunity to combine her professional skills with her personal interests, she obtained certification in group fitness instruction. This led to her co-owning one of the most well-known and respected fitness programs in Turks and Caicos, Fitness TCI, where she continues to inspire others to lead healthier, more active lives.
Today, Terri is not only a successful businesswoman in the Turks and Caicos property and fitness industries but also a dedicated advocate for wellness and an active lifestyle. She remains deeply involved in her community, helping others achieve their fitness goals while continuing to expand her professional horizons.
