Welcome to Simply Fit & Fresh!

My name is Jen and I’m a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Pilates & Personal Trainer. I developed SimplyFIT & Fresh because I believe that achieving health can be just that, simple. Through small, sustainable lifestyle changes, including what we eat and how we move, we can transform our health. There is no magic pill, fountain of youth or one-size-fits-all program, but I will guide you through the simple things you can do each day as part of a balanced lifestyle to achieve your personal health, fitness and wellness goals and live your life to the fullest!

“SimplyFIT is a perfect fit for me and my exercise needs! Jen is great at tailoring the workouts to my strengths and weaknesses. My sessions with her make me better prepared for soccer and improve my fitness across the board. From talking through my nutrition to fixing my form on different exercises, the whole experience is much more personalized than the large gyms I’ve trained at in the past. I would highly recommend SimplyFIT to anyone interested in improving their overall fitness through a more personalized workout experience!”

“Jen is amazing! I've worked out with Jen over the years and decided last year to take my health by the horns. We worked on nutrition and a workout plan. I'm down 30lbs and maintaining. I know what I need to eat healthy and understand stressors that may contribute to weight and water gain. I also use Jen as a weekly personal trainer and her workouts are amazing. She is always changing it up to keep me working hard.”

“There are no adequate words to describe the impact that Jen has had on me and my lifestyle. Not only is she a supportive and motivating trainer, she is highly knowledgeable about nutrition and overall health in general. She is always up for a challenge and strives to provide her clients with the best personalized service possible. She is constantly researching and learning more about health in order to be able to support her clients in the best way possible. Jen is compassionate and strong, and she is also tons of fun!”

“After falling into some bad eating habits Jen helped me get back on track with better meal planning and being more aware of what I eat. I've cut WAY down on snacking and lost 5 pounds in 6 weeks, just by changing my eating habits and following Jen's advice/plans, etc. Jen is easy to talk with, and pushes you, but doesn't make you feel guilty if you had a bad day or week. She tries to really understand your issues and health goals, and listens to not only your past health issues but current, and modifies your meal and exercising plans so it fits what your body needs. She's a great coach to have in your corner!”

For as long as I can remember, I have always been involved in sports. I played every sport in high school and was almost always at a practice or a game (or meet) for something.  I was always burning calories and not even thinking about it.  In my childhood home, if you didn't like what was for dinner, you could always try your luck and hope that at the next meal there was something that you liked. Just deal with it, and eat what's put in front of you.  All this to say, I learned very quickly to not be a picky eater.  As a kid there weren't a lot of things that I wouldn't at least try. Also as a result, food became associated with a time of day (e.g., lunchtime, dinnertime, time for breakfast, time for a snack, etc.). 

Through the aging process, the metabolism slows and naturally you tend to sit a lot more as an adult than you ever thought about as a child.  I was never obese, I was just comfortable with myself being able to eat anything my children didn't finish, didn't want, etc.  Anything.  

 I have done some fad diets in the past (the Atkins Diet when it first came out, for instance), and I am a man of science, so I understand the basics of nutrition, genetics, biochemistry, as well as cause/effect relationships in consumption and your overall health.  

 Jen made a plan that worked for me and broke some of the concepts down into absolutely logical notions that made me ask myself, "how did I not see this?"  No spoilers in this review, but as long as you're honest with yourself, and set realistic goals, Jen will help you reach your objective.  By applying these simple concepts and adhering to the I-control-what-I-do mindset, you can do it.  This is so cliche, but you are the only thing holding yourself back.  Jen will help you channel your core power (with zero judgement) to get you where you want to be.

 By applying Jen's concepts since we started about six months ago, I have lost over 30 pounds, dropped a couple of belt sizes, have a ton more energy, I'm sleeping even better, and I would imagine that I'm maybe more pleasant to be around, too.  5 out of 5.  Would recommend!
