Growing up in Edmonton, Jen was a classic “tomboy”. At a young age she participated in organized sports such as hockey and soccer. She purchased her first YMCA membership at the age of 15 and has been training ever since. Athletics and the outdoors have always had a strong presence in her life, and her interests today include weight training, snowboarding, soccer, mountain biking and running.

In 2005, Jen became a registered Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and worked with an ambulance service for three years. This experience allowed her to see firsthand how important it is to live a healthy and active life. Jen also became involved with an elite personal training facility as a client in 2005. These experiences inspired her to become a certified personal trainer. Jen joined the Custom Fit team in August 2010, and she is excited to teach, motivate, encourage and empower individuals to achieve their fitness goals and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
