Proud trainer moment... :)

I just wanted to take a few minutes to let my clients know how proud I am of your hard work!  I've been looking through fit test results and past goals, and I am so happy that many of you have surpassed those goals by a long shot!  Losing inches, losing pounds, and improving in strength and cardio exercises are such awesome accomplishments!  Be proud of what you have achieved, and keep up the great work!

And remember, I will push you in the gym but you are responsible for what happens after you leave!  I am more than happy to help you with your nutrition questions and point you in the right direction.  But nutrition is directly related to meeting those goals and feeling great!

You guys rock!
Jen

Lose weight, look better, feel better...  those are only a few of the reasons!

Spring has sprung!!

My yard is in full bloom!  Spring has officially arrived in the Ozarks :)  (and it's March Madness- talk about a perfect combo!)

I love this time of the year- flowers, green grass, and outdoor activities!  Going on bike rides, and evening walks and jogs, are some of my favorite family outdoor activities- we love going to the Greenway Trails or the Nature Center!  Living in such a beautiful area gives us many outdoor options!  Check out the local parks, lakes, and trails to see what you can find for you and your family!

There are also SEVERAL local races coming up!  There are quite a few tomorrow for St. Patty's Day that will be a blast- the weather is warm and perfect for racing!  You can check site's like active.com for race listings!  Walk, jog, or run with some friends for a good workout!

I have a new session of classes starting on March 26th- I would LOVE to see you there!  You will sweat and get in a great workout, all while having a good time! 

Call Jen today at 839-8186 for more information!

Have a great weekend!!

It's time to get excited...

Hello Friends!

Can you believe that it's almost March?!  The sun is shining & the bird's are chirping!  That can only mean one thing...  SPRING is right around the corner!  (Yes, I do realize that in Missouri we might get ice & snow as late as April...  but I'm being optimistic!)  

While most of us love the idea of warmer weather & pretty landscapes popping up, many people dread wearing less clothing & showing off their 'winter weight gain' that has accumulated under those bulky sweaters and jeans!

Here is where 'Training By Jen' steps in - you don't have to dread spring!  Let me help you regain your confidence!  I am here to assist you with setting and surpassing your health and fitness goals.  I offer personal training and group fitness classes for all fitness levels- there is something for everyone!  

Group classes are fun and a they are a great workout!  Throughout my time teaching the various classes, I have found what works and what doesn't for myself and for my clients.  You will sweat and you will be continually challenged in my classes...  And you will get results!  I offer bootcamp-style classes and HIT classes at various times throughout the week.  All of these classes are held at Elite Athletics.

Saturday workouts are hosted when there is gym availability, and we have a great time in this class!  For $5 a person, you will get in an hour-long fitness session that varies each week!  These are on Saturdays from 9-10am at Elite Athletics.

Personal training is continuing to grow and expand, and I am gaining some awesome clients in 2012!  I love working individually with clients to help them set goals and create plans to meet those goals.  This year I have clients that I meet with at the gym, at their home, at their office, and at various outdoor locations!  Where we meet and how often is up to you and your schedule- I will create the workouts for you and point you in the right direction with your nutrition to help you achieve your health and fitness goals!

Don't let this spring and summer be another year of hiding- now is the time to do something about your health!  Call me today at 417-839-8186 to chat about what I can do to help you!
