My Mission
I got into strength and conditioning because I lacked an effective strength and conditioning program while I was playing junior and college hockey. Because I didn’t have an experienced coach to help me train the right way and build positive nutrition habits, I ended up being underweight at the midpoint of the season. This led to decreased performance and increased injury risk, which led to me sustaining injuries. My goal is to ensure no athlete or non-athlete experiences what I went through. I want to take the guess work out of training for my clients. So they can focus on working hard and having fun. I want to make stronger more resilient athletes. I want to help moms and dads stay strong and mobile so when they become grandparents, picking up their grand children is an easy task. I want to restore movement function to injured tissues so people can get back to performing their work or activities of daily living effortlessly.

Why Train With Me

There’s a concept called paralysis by analysis. Too much info can have the opposite impact. For beginners in training or even those with some more experience, meeting a fitness goal can seem daunting. Training with me, we will work together to find they “why” behind your goals, and I will take care of the “how”. You’ll not only get fun, productive workouts with me, but you’ll learn in the process. I don’t want you to think, that’s my job. I want you to take action and have fun doing it.

My go-to workout

I keep it simple and fast. Warm up -> some sprints -> 3-5 compound exercises -> cooldown.

Healthy food I love

I love breakfast and my go to post-workout breakfast is fried rice, with toast, fruit, and shake.

Healthy food I hate

I heavily dislike mushrooms. Their color, smell, taste, texture, and look gross me out!

Client stories

"Before finding Kickoff, I wasted so much time sitting in my car at the gym trying to google the "best" workout for the day. Now I never fret over workouts - they're sent to me with clear instruction in the Kickoff app. Working with my trainer via text has been such a benefit. Having that accountability was key - I beat my goal by 10 lbs, losing 40 lbs before my wedding day!"

"I have loved every single week of Kickoff. As a busy, working mom, I don't like leaving my home & family to go to the gym. My trainer Jen designs workout plans for me that work with what I have at home. She levels me up in strength when I'm ready & adjusts when I'm not feeling my best. Kickoff is realistic, sustainable & supportive. That's why it's been so successful for me!"
