Meet Jenn, Fitness Instructor

NASM Certified Personal Trainer

Jenn is a NASM-certified Personal Trainer. Her love for movement began at the age of four through ballet, tap, jazz & gymnastics. In high school, she played basketball & was an avid swimmer. Her personal journey to fitness began in 2007, where she ran dozens of half marathons, took boxing lessons & began educating herself in weightlifting.


Her love for helping others discover their own love of fitness is why she pursued a personal training certification. Outside the studio, Jenn is a VP at her family business and is a huge animal lover to senior pups!
