THE TEAMTHE TEAM

Jesse Peterson began working at the marina in January 2007 as a Guest Service Coordinator and worked his way up to management. He was General Manager of the YCPDP Marina for six years before his promotion to Operations.

Born on Sint Maarten and raised during the island's tourism boom, Jesse started in hotels and tourism young and learned how much customer service matters. A keen boater himself, he still brings that to the yachting industry every day.

Ireta operates the Country Club desk: promotions, staff rotations, day-to-day operations with members and staff, the technical side of fitness provision, and the health and safety of everyone on site.

She grew up on French Saint-Martin, studied secretarial accounting, then continued her studies in France. She started at the Country Club front desk and rose to supervisor, assistant manager and manager. She loves trying new sports, travelling and training in the club gym.

With excellent customer service skills and a real team-player attitude, Esmeralda handles inquiries, looks after every member and makes sure people walk into a building full of positive energy.

She first studied for the medical field before moving into hospitality at Telem, which led her to the club. A proud mother of two from Saint-Martin, she loves travelling and family time.

Simeon runs the daily life of the gym: keeping members happy, answering questions, making sure equipment is used safely, training and spotting when needed, and holding the Country Club Gym's five-star standard.

Originally from Dominica, he started lifting as a teenager and turned it into his profession. He began competing in bodybuilding in 2000 and won Mr. St. Maarten. Personal training was the natural next step: what he loves, used to help others become the best version of themselves.

With more than 20 years in health and fitness, Allison Williams is one of St. Maarten's fitness pioneers. She is SXM's first IFBB Professional Athlete, an IFBB certified judge, fitness trainer, event coordinator, marketer, health-food chef and mother. She tailors a plan to you.

Peterson started bodybuilding as a teenager with cement weights and magazines as his coaches, and competed after a single year of training. Twenty-five years on he is still going strong, having trained the first IFBB Pro Alvin Andre, Cleo Carti and Simeon Jeremie.
