My Mission
I believe everyone is capable of change. I’ve lost 125lbs and kept it off for 13 years. No matter what your goals are, you can achieve them! I am a firm believer in a long-term, sustainable approach to reaching goals. Results can be obtained in a shorter period of time via dieting and specific exercise routines. However, these methods of obtaining results are lacking in terms of habit formation. Typically, when we stop a diet/program, we slip back to our old habits and we start the cycle over again. Instead, I work with my clients on setting micro goals each week and building a foundation for long-term, sustainable results. We all have a tendency to choose our short-term wants over long-term wants because they help alleviate stress and anxiety and whatever else we might be going through. However, our long-term goals would not only alleviate these stressors, but would allow us to live the lives we dream of and deserve.

Why Train With Me

In addition to my years of experience and knowledge, the short answer is I’ve been there before. I’ve lost over 100lbs and kept the weight off for 13 years. I hold my clients accountable while still having empathy for the journey they are on. My skill sets in strength and conditioning and corrective exercise allow me to help people see the value of a personal trainer. I keep people safe on their journey and give them the tools and results to sustain any future goals.

My go-to workout

I love doing a 45 minute HIIT session using a combination of dumbbells and TRX suspension training.

Healthy food I love

Home made veggie sandwiches! Sourdough bread, mustard, vegan Mayo, zucchini, avocado, onion, tomato.

Healthy food I hate

None. All foods have their place. You just have to try them in different ways to find what’s best.

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!"
