Jennifer is a lifetime recreational athlete with a background in gymnastics and a more recent passion for running.  As a new mom to 1 year old Ripken and expectant mother to her second son (due June 2012), she understands personally the challenges a new mom has with balancing exercise and motherhood. Jennifer has been a group exercise instructor, personal trainer and member engagement specialist for the YMCA of the Suncoast since Oct 2006.  She helped to pilot a program for both the Y of the USA and the LIVESRONG Foundation and has been working with cancer survivors through LiveSTRONG at the YMCA, since 2008. Jennifer continues to be passionate about helping cancer survivors regain their strength and self-confidence through exercise. 

Baby Boot Camp is a fun way to bring moms an opportunity to achieve their personal fitness and health goals, set an early example of a healthy way of life for their children, and meet other moms. For Jennifer, it is also an opportunity to do work she is passionate about while spending time with her son.  She brings her experience in working with special populations and is able to provide ample modifications for the new and returning exerciser while challenging the more experienced ones. Whether you are a new, expectant or experienced mom, come out and try your first class for free; you'll be glad you did!
