I'm Jenna- a health and wellness enthusiast, certified group fitness instructor, certified personal trainer, weight management coach, and CA licensed Esthetician. I have spent the past 10 years working in the health/wellness industry and have literally done it all! I have been fortunate to have so many cool opportunities and experiences...all of which sparked my desire to open the Inspired Fitness Studio. Turning my passions into a place that provides fun, high energy fitness classes where people feel accepted, encouraged and inspired. My journey has been a roller coaster, but I am thankful for every step of the way. I take a natural, holistic approach to coaching and training and hope to share what I have learned with you!
I was introduced to the wonderful world of fitness when I took my first yoga class over 12 years ago. I started working at local gyms around the Palm Springs area, also working privately with trainers and a nutritionist for my own benefit. For a few years I worked in health food stores, a smoothie bar, gyms, under a vegan chefs, and with a raw foodist...just to learn as much as I could and receive knowledge from so many areas. I ventured into the Country Club scene and took a job in the Lakes Country Club fitness center. It was there that I received my first facial by a wonderful woman who became my skin care mentor. I was so inspired by her that I enrolled at the International School of Beauty and received my Esthetician license. I loved that living a healthy lifestyle intertwined with good skin care. When working in a Dermatologist's office, my eyes were opened to the dangerous effects of unnatural procedures and harmful toxins and chemicals in many skin care products on the market. I knew I had to quit the doctor's office, it went against everything I had come to stand for in how we treat our bodies. I have been integrating organic and natural products into the facials I give, and what I use on my own skin, ever since. Like any girly girl, I love makeup and have done professional makeup applications for weddings and special events, but even with my makeup I use organic mineral makeup and stay very aware of what I am putting on my skin.
I absolutely love group fitness classes, so becoming an instructor and personal trainer felt like I had found what I was meant to do. I've had opportunities to share my own experience with poor self esteem and body image with young girls, teens and other women. So inspired, I had the dream of creating the Inspired Fitness Studio. My desire was to provide
great fitness classes, but even more, to offer a "safe place" for women to come and feel encouraged and loved on in their own journey toward wellness. I wanted people to feel welcomed and happy when there, never intimidated or judged. With the help of my supportive husband, we made it happen! It is more amazing then I could have ever imagined!
We have some of the greatest instructors I have had the pleasure of working with and each class is filled with amazing people who inspire me every day. I have the wonderful opportunity of being a lululemon ambassador and am continually thankful for the support I get from the fitness inspired company.
