This is Jenn J.—before training (left) and one year into training (right). Prior to beginning her work with us, Jenn completed her first and only (her words) marathon. And if we may digress for one moment, she often shares with us her dismay at the damage marathon training did to her nutrition, physique and body in general. She is 20 pounds lighter in the second photo, and a great deal stronger since leaving long, slow distance behind. Jenn is the perfect example of the large effects of small lifestyle changes. Her success is the result of proper nutrition, strength training (read: intensity) and an active lifestyle—she never sits down. We are very happy with Jenn’s progress and look forward to her continued improvements in the coming year.
