“I give Jennifer the highest
marks. She brings to each session the best of what she is:
enthusiastic, informed, qualified, disciplined, kind, perceptive
and prepared. She is never stumped by any problem or question.
I had a few issues because I am in my seventies and she
adjusted my program to meet my needs. She knows her profession
and loves her work. It is a privilege to work with her.”

“Jennifer and I have
had a fascinating adventure together. In 2004, I weighed
in at 360+ pounds. I didn't do any type of exercise and
was morbidly obese. Morbidly obese means heavy enough to
be a life threat. After much research, I scheduled myself
for a gastric band. 6 months before surgery, I started looking
at exercise options. One of the best exercises for obese
people is swimming, so I started swimming at 24 hour fitness.
I also went to a few classes...and there was Jennifer. I
started becoming a regular at Jennifer's classes. Between
the personalized care and the variety of what she teaches,
I started to lose a little weight. By the time my surgery
rolled around? I had lost 30+ pounds!
After the surgery, and as I lost weight,
I increased my exercise to include hiking, dancing (there
was Jennifer again!), water aerobics (Jennifer) and Pilates
(and more Jennifer). Jennifer was always upbeat, always
there and always available for the 10,000 questions I seemed
to have. For the next 18 months, Jennifer was part of my
routine....water aerobics on Monday, dance on Thursday and
Pilates on the day of my choosing. With her acceptance and
guidance, the weight continued to roll off. I am delighted
to tell you that I have lost 200 pounds.
My next project? Plastic surgery!
By this time, I had walked the 60 mile walk, done the PF
Chang's half marathon...but wasn't really in *great shape.*
I was thinner, but not in great shape. It was time to focus
on the particulars of my body and my life. I needed someone
to show me how to balance the new body with exercise and
nutrition. With Jennifer's personalized guidance, I started
a weights and resistance program. I came through both plastic
surgeries in fabulous shape and with much recognition being
given to the fact that my trainer had a big part in how
well I did.
On a personal level? Jennifer and
her balanced program is now part of my life. She has the
knack of getting the information across without being overbearing
or mean. She figures out how to get it done with a positive
spin. I always feel like my time with Jennifer is a personalized
program...doesn't look anything like anybody else’s
and is focused completely on motivating me.
Jennifer is a partner as much as a
coach. She approaches things in a positive manner...this
is how we will be successful.
It makes a HUGE difference.”
