I was never interested in sports which, as a teenager, I thought was the only form of exercise out there, but when I started taking classes with Jen, I realized exercise can be fun. It was, by far, the best decision I've ever made for myself. I feel so much better about myself and I also feel much healthier than before. Yeah, it's tough and a lot of hard work, but after all that sweating and pain, comes gratification and a sense of accomplishment, which feels pretty awesome and is very much worth it.

Lisa's Testimonial :

Lisa at the time of joining             Lisa After 7 months

hhhhhhhhhhh

Lisa Orneck, 26

I am 26 years old with 4 children that are all under the age of 6. Before, my body really felt like it had 4 children. Now, I feel like a teenager again and I can keep up with my kids.

Jennifer Murphy is a miracle worker. She is so inspiring by giving me hope that anything is possible. When I went to my first class with Jen, she could tell that I was having a hard time keeping up. She kept saying that you can do it, keep your mind focused, over power your mind and that we were almost finished. Now, I look forward to class and I hate that the hour is almost up. We all have so much fun in her classes that you don't feel like you are working out. I feel more energized, confident and less stressed. I recommend all of her classes to EVERYONE no matter what size or age.

When I went to her first class I weighed 177 pounds. Now 3 months later I am 146 pounds. I have lost 7 inches off of my waist and 5 inches off of my hips. None of my clothes fit me anymore. Jen gave me some tips on how to eat healthy and to make sure I ATE BREAKFAST. You never realize how much energy you get just by eating breakfast.
Jen and everyone in the class are friends that I never had.
Come join us sweat off pounds, while having a good time.

 “Have always been an exerciser, and have taken classes abroad including at some of the leading health clubs.  Jen’s classes are easily some of the best I have ever attended. The variety of classes offered means I do not get bored and the motivation & spirit that Jen provides make me want to keep going. Love it & highly recommend it!”

Losing weight is truly a test of your will to increase the vitality of your life. You can be overweight and happy, it is possible, but there comes a time where your health and well being will certainly reflect your ability to be comfortable in your own skin. I used to hide behind food, not go out to eat with friends because I'd be embarrassed to eat or not eat in front of them, always feeling judged no matter what. Also shopping was always a nightmare. Losing weight is a life changing process that, no matter how slow and emotional, can only be beneficial to your body, mind, and spirit.  I weighed almost 225 lbs before I could even order a drink at the bar!  I just had my 24th birthday and I'm 70 lbs away from that sad number in the right direction.  No one can make you do it, actually hearing any suggestions or people offering assistance to 'help lose weight' would only anger me and distract me from really trying to do something good for myself. It's my own baggage that in some way, I found comforting to have. One day I looked at the scale, and I thought, this is unbelievable. How did I get the scale to say that? Is that even right? I really remember thinking that I had gotten WAY too large too quickly, and I had to get it under control before food and laziness took control of me.

I started exercising regularly in October, 2008 (giving myself 1 year to prepare for my brothers wedding) and met Jen around April 2009.  Good thing I had been warming up my joints and preparing myself, because Jen kicked my butt! She kicked the excess right off; after the first class, I felt alive and happier and proud of myself for being in a room of 'skinny' women and surviving. I had to keep going back in order to prove to myself that I was making not just a temporary change, to prepare for some silly wedding, but an entire lifestyle change. I felt and looked great for the wedding, but I'm still not done with my body. After some private training sessions I realized I had the ability to work out on my own, and to learn what exercises really affected me and what I needed to do to continue to lose inches.  After the first few classes, I really would look forward to going, and felt very guilty for missing any. I'd felt a difference in my pants and just 'lighter' overall.  Less physical baggage is absolutely linked to less mental baggage; one less thing for us women to worry about.

Jen's positive attitude and sunny disposition no matter what may have been going on in her world was always very refreshing and enlivening through each and every class. You could always rely on her to kick your bad mood and extra calories right out the door. I'm very grateful for finding her and going to her classes. I highly recommend her to people in ALL stages of weight loss and I promise you have NOTHING to lose except inches, pounds, and unhealthy habits. Thanks Jen! You are a good soul.

I have been taking Jen's classes for 18 months now. When I first started,  truthfully it was just to have some alone time. I have a teenager,  two little ones, and run a business.  I wasn't doing anything for myself. However, it quickly turned into something more! I had more energy, started toning and felt great! I enjoy being surrounded by people in the classes, it gives you a great energy boost knowing that we're all there for the same reasons. I look forward to my three times a week!  I am a better mom for it and the extra energy is much needed to keep up with everyone! Thank you Jen!

In November 2008, at the age of 40, with 2 girls now 8 and 3 I had felt that I was old before my time.  I couldn't keep up with my children and I was always tired.  I started taking classes with Jen over a year ago and my life has changed forever.  I not only eat healthier I feel like I did in my 20's! 
Jen is awesome, she is so positive and she motivates you with all of her energy and passion for what she does.  Her classes are not only challenging and rewarding they are also fun -you meet so many nice people.  I look forward to going to class every week.  My 3 yr old comes to class to watch while I work and she knows the routines better than me!

"We work out with Jen as a couple. Its a great time to spend together and with Jen! She meets both of our needs and challenges us each in different ways. We would highly recommend her as a trainer, teacher, and motivator to anyone!"

 I can’t thank Jen enough for the training program she developed for me.  As a long time runner I’ve always concentrated on cardio work and spent very little time, if any, on weight training and definitely never did any core work.  What a mistake that was.  Jen put together a program for me which incorporated weight and core work along with pilates exercise.  What a difference in my muscle tone, definition and overall strength.  I very much look forward to the days we train together and I’m sure you will too!!

I spent last summer attending Jen’s Pilates and Step classes. It has greatly increased my balance, strength and stamina, which has really improved my riding. I am stronger and more confident in the saddle. While on vacation, I was able to ride at a gallop for almost 2 miles without getting tired!  I love it….thanks Jen J !!
