Well hello!

I’m Jenn

My personal journey began in college when I lost weight for the first time. It’s where I found my love of fitness and became an aerobics instructor. After graduating, I left teaching behind for a desk job and gained the weight, plus some, back. The financial downturn of 2008 brought me back to my love of fitness and teaching. Today, my routine is an open book. Ask me anything.

Over the years I tried various trendy, celebrity weight loss and fitness programs. Some worked in the short term and some made me feel like poo. Without long-term success, I started to believe that being tired after lunch was normal and that my creaking knees would prevent me from playing volleyball or running because aging really did mean feeling lethargic and achy. #Sadness

Since then I’ve discovered…

  • There are no absolutes. There’s just you, your current situation, and how you will navigate it.
  • Life is not static. One-size-fits-all programs set you up for frustration and failure.
  • You must tune into what your body is telling you to find sustainable health success.
  • My engineering background has given me a unique perspective on the body.
  • Go slow, start small, and choose progress over perfection.
  • What worked before may not work now and probably will not work later.
  • Feeling better than “just getting by” is doable in any situation and season of life.

I’m here to support you, be your biggest cheerleader, and guide you to feel the way you want to feel.

Are you curious about how you can make progress toward a FitBodyPhatLife even when the Universe is piling it on?

The Secret of My Success

Is your health slipping while caring for someone whose health is, also, slipping?

When Papa came home from the hospital in January 2021 his needs had changed. For three months, I traveled 9 hours round-trip helping with meds and doctor’s appointments, being a point of contact in varying conversations and constantly hoping he wouldn’t need the ER (which happened 16 times when someone else wasn’t there).

Even as a coach, my healthy habits and ability to care for myself went out the window when I became a caregiver. I had to learn all over again how to feel successful in my health and well-being.

The stress, the astronomical exhaustion, and the sheer will to keep going are something I still look back on in bewilderment.

If you’re struggling and you don’t think a coach would understand, I will and others to do too.

8 years and counting!

I thought I would just give it a try, not dreaming that 9 months later I would be 15 pounds lighter, a clothing size smaller, and feeling stronger, healthier, and happier having made changes that I can carry forward through the rest of my life.

Jenn is warm, positive, encouraging, and enthusiastic.  I look forward to welcoming her into my home twice a week. I sing her praises regularly – would recommend her to anyone! –  and am so happy about all I have achieved while working with her!

Going farther!!

I started training with Jenn after I hiked the Grand Canyon and decided I could use some help.  Additionally, I am fighting to keep osteoporosis at bay with diet, medication and exercise.  I have worked out with Jenn for 3 months now and I certainly notice quite a bit of change in my body, my endurance and my golf game.  I hit the golf ball farther, I can hike farther and faster, and I love my toned body.  I am also working on improving my posture and Jenn came up with great exercises to strengthen and straighten my back.


I liked to exercise prior to working out with Jenn, but she has brought a whole new level of expectation and perseverance into my workouts.  She is cheerful, knows how to push me beyond what I think I can do, and is very flexible in scheduling workout sessions.  I am so grateful to Jenn for all that she brings into my life!

Our passion: helping others

When someone works with Jenn they aren’t on the journey to total body health alone, she is with each of her clients every step of the way; encouraging them to meet that next goal even when it’s a rough day. That’s what passion is, and that’s exactly what Jennifer has for others

Jenn is awesome!

She’s consistent in her training sessions, though she sometimes brings out Jillian.  She is a good resource for health information.  I always know that I can ask her what’s on my mind and she either knows the answer or will do the research to find the answer.  She’s always making sure to do the best thing for me to help me reach my goals.

Great cheerleader

Thank you for encouraging me to do the Insanity Mud Run!  Running has made me a better biker and I’m now passing all the boys going up hills.  The product you recommended for my knees has been awesome!  I am finally able to train and play volleyball without experiencing pain each and every time.

Strength and energy are up!

After 4 months of working with Jenn, I have shrunk by 2 dress sizes.   My strength and energy levels have increased dramatically since the time we began working out together.   She is a dedicated trainer and has a nice way of encouraging me to do more than I think I can.   Working out with her has been both challenging and fun and I love the results!

Versatile and attentive

Your mobile personal training program allows me to work it into my schedule.  Knowing you will be knocking on my door 3 times a week, keeps me from putting off the workouts and making excuses.  It’s always amazing how attentive to the details you are and that my slightest movement/position can make all the difference between a good and better workout.  Although I was only looking for a workout routine, your help with diet and vitamin needs were a welcome addition.  The USANA Company has been a pleasant surprise.  They really do provide a superior product.  Thank you again for providing such a valuable service.

A chiropractor note

I have been very impressed… mostly with the skill and knowledge that Jennifer brings to the training sessions. Jennifer is an outgoing and enthusiastic person, and she is very patient with her clients.
