Hi

I'm Jolene and welcome to my website! Moving my body has always been an important way of expressing myself – whether it be through dance, fitness, sports or yoga. I am a spirit in action, and as a coach and an athlete – I always encourage people to push a little bit more! More pump, more reps, more power, and if you can push your limits fearlessly by believing in yourself, you'll succeed. There is magic in looking for more. It isn't about being narcissistic or self-centered, it is about centering yourself. There is freedom in knowing that you can enjoy life to the fullest. Be the push that tells yourself yes, I can!

As a "Nationally Certified Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor", my specialties lie in the following fields.

Please scroll down to the bottom of this page to read testimonials from current clients. Also, look for me as the new DVD series host, model and instructor for the AbCoaster. The ads will run in all of the fitness magazines this year. In reading this material, I hope you become a little bit more inspired and empowered. In my mind, taking care of your body means you are honoring your higher self, becoming more centered with your personal desires and this practice can be a very spiritual path. It is in a sense, combining the power of body, mind and spirit and unleashing the energy that sets you free. Free from battling stress, weight, depression or any hurdles in you life. You CAN overcome. Don't let anyone hold you back from being the best that you can be. A higher being speaks to your heart, have the guts and courage to follow your intuition. BE! SAY! DO! CREATE! That's the highest potential you can be.

I love the legacy that pirates leave behind: "Stay on course, raise your sails and go for the gold". The power is within you-set it free!
