I started training with Jenn in 2005 at 24 Hour Fitness for a short training program and found her again after she left the gym to train independently in 2006. Although I enjoyed the first round of training I think most of my learning and finer appreciation for her “services” started at Perfect Bodies probably about a year ago now.
We discussed my goals right from the start and having lost 100 pounds a few years prior, I was focused primarily on maintaining my weight loss, but also on increasing flexibility and strength. We trained three days a week, starting each session with “How do you feel”? This is not your standard, “how are you today”? this is a question I quickly figured out was important to my success. Answering honestly not only causes me to think about my body, my energy levels, my muscles, etc but also helps me determine what the day’s focus should be (I think). With other trainers working with a generic routine where perhaps Monday was “leg day”, I could barely pull myself out of bed in anticipation of working my least favorite muscle group. But Jenn is different. She pays attention to my body and its weaknesses and builds a program accordingly - providing truly personal and personalized training!!
Most sessions not only require me to challenge my muscles, but also to challenge my beliefs about fitness, diet and overall health and wellness. For example, I was convinced that if I didn't break a sweat during our workout or of we spent the time “stretching” or “rolling out my IT band”, that the hour had been a complete waste. But I have since seen the results and realized the value and benefit of these “less intense” sessions. Jenn’s passion for what you do is remarkable and the amount of effort and care she puts into each session is motivating. She has taught me to respect, nurture and appreciate my body - knowledge which I will be forever grateful. Thank you.
