Testimonials

Like most of us, I have struggled with my weight most of my adult life. I have used all the excuses:  I gained because “each child I carried contributed to my weight; I have a slow metabolism; I’m way too busy; I can’t lose no matter what I do!” I have tried all the diets and know what I am supposed to do, so why haven’t I succeeded? It’s because I thought that I had to do it all by myself. After all, I was the one who abused my body and put on an extra 50 pounds. I recently came to the realization that it is okay to ask for help. Sports teams have coaches to help them achieve their goals, why shouldn’t individuals do the same?

Last July a friend of mine offered me the experience of a lifetime—to climb to the top of Mount Fuji, Japan. I had a year to prepare, so I decided to go for it. I figured I could easily lose weight and get in shape in that amount of time. It’s amazing how quickly a year passes. Before I knew it, the trip was only a few months away and my weight or exercise habits hadn’t changed. Fortunately, that’s when I became acquainted with Coach Jenn. With her suggestion of establishing short term goals, and having her evaluate what I ate, I began to gain a bit of control over my own actions. Just having someone (other than a family member) tell you that you are on the right track, or you need to change something in your eating or sleeping habits, goes a long way toward meeting with success.

I still have more work to do to meet my weight loss goals, but I already feel a sense of accomplishment in how I now take care of myself. Exercise is an activity that I am now looking forward to each day, rather than trying to avoid. I make sure to get the proper amount of sleep and eat balanced meals. More importantly, my mindset is different. I now place my needs first instead of last. It makes quite a difference!

Oh—by the way—I successfully climbed to the top of Mt. Fuji on August 10 and 11^th in time to see the sunrise ! It was a hard climb, but I was able to do it because of Jenn’s help, and because of my new determination to live life to the fullest!                               D.A., Long Branch, NJ

         
                                                   


            Client Develops Winning Mindset with Help from Coach Jenna!

"I am almost 60-years-old, and I feel like I am living for the first time in my life!  I had an instant connection with Coach Jenn. During our first meeting, something within me shifted.  I realized I was worth the effort.  Jenn helped me to develop the winning mindset necessary to lose over 100 pounds!  I actually feel my emotions now rather than stuff them.  It's hard to imagine I ever lived the way I was for so many years.  Now, I'm free to do so many things that the weight prevented me from doing.  And, I continue to grow and learn on my own and by continuing to work with Jenn.  I highly recommend working with Coach Jenn.  It has been a life-changing experience, and I will always be grateful to her!"         J.M., Little Silver, NJ


     Empowered & Free From Emotional Eating with Help From Coach Jenna!

"I tried every diet I could find before reaching out to Coach Jenn.  I knew something was missing but I couldn't name it.  Coach Jenn helped me make honest assessments of my eating and fitness behaviors.  She coached me and supported me every step of the way as I realized I was stuffing my emotions.  I was mindlessly going through life, sabotaging all my dieting attempts.  Jenn worked with me to become aware of my emotions and develop healthier ways to deal with them.  Once I began to accept myself and deal with my emotions, it was almost as if the weight just fell off!  I think more positively now and feel more empowered to enjoy my life!  I have stopped wasting energy focusing on food and the things I felt I couldn't do because of my size.  I would recommend Jenn to anyone wishing to develop better fitness and lifestyle habits."                   S.S., Oceanport, NJ
