“I had a life-altering health event that put me out of commision for 4 months. I was a lifelong gym-hater who was lucky to be alive and literally had to regain almost all of my strength physically and emotionally. Fortunately, I found Jen who has taken me on a journey that has been truly life changing. Jen is a wonderful listener who employs extensive knowledge and intelligence to structure programs to meet the individual needs of each client. She has an infectious “can do” attitude that brings her programs to life and makes the time in the gym fly.”

She keeps my sessions fresh by always planning varied activities with different equipment so that I’m never bored. The helpful lifestyle tips that Jen shares during her time-efficient workouts make wellness fit into my busy schedule. The sessions are individualized to my abilities and needs while always encouraging me to increase my efforts in a safe way. I LOVE working with Jen and hope to do so for years to come.”

“I have been working with Jen for 18 years. Unlike many other trainers, Jen works with the WHOLE person - emotionally, physically and spiritually. Her knowledge of heath, fitness and wellness is endless. Jen is passionate, enthusiastic and caring. She makes every workout challenging, creative and fun -  all while ensuring that proper form and technique are present to avoid injuries. Jen is the BEST. I don’t know what I would do without her.”

“I have been exercising with Jen for over 18 years, and it has absolutely kept me young and fit in mind and body. I always continue to learn new things from Jen to improve my fitness and overall health. Jen’s exercise sessions focus on all aspects of healthful living, and I love that I am able to challenge myself safely while never sustaining an injury. Jen has the utmost concern for her students’ well-being and focuses on teaching in a mindful, encouraging and safe manner.”

“Working with Jennifer is an incredibly upbeat and positive experience. Jen pushes me without depleting me and always reminds me that “failing is winning” when it comes to my muscles reaching their safe limits. Jen’s constant concern for my well-being is remarkable, and the research that she has put forth on behalf of my unique health concerns has put me on a new path to wellness. I am so grateful to be working with Jen.”

Peter A. - Glen Rock, New Jersey

“Falling and the fear of falling are huge problems that impact the quality of a person’s life. Identifying this need in the community that I work was easy. Finding the right person to develop and implement a safe and effective program was the challenge - until Jen Wilshaw came along! Jen is the perfect person for our balance and fall prevention program at West Side Presbyterian Church. 

Jen’s skills in working with all levels of ability are invaluable. She offers a dynamic class that is informative and fun for every age and every level of fitness. The response from the participants has been overwhelmingly positive, and Jen’s professional expertise, knowledge, smile and encouragement have made this class a HUGE success. It is a pleasure working with Jen, and we are so blessed to have her teaching at the West Side community.” 

Pat McGlade - Former Faith Community Nurse at West Side Presbyterian Church

“Jen’s focus and discipline give everyone around her the incentive to grow physically and spiritually. She fosters a positive and empathetic demeanor in all her relationships and is truly committed to yielding growth in the lives of all who are lucky to know her. I have met very few people like Jen who can cultivate inner and outer strength in people. She is one of a kind.”

Bruno Piccinich - Ridgefield, New Jersey

“I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Jen for the last 5 years, and the results have been fantastic! As a former athlete, I can tell you that Jen and I have worked on muscles that I NEVER knew I had! While the sessions are tough, I always feel better afterwards. I am glad when my wife gifts me an additional 10 sessions with Jen each Christmas!”

Nick Conyngham - Ridgewood, New Jersey

“I have been working with Jen for over 15 years. She is the consummate professional who prepares for each and every session just as a good teacher organizes a thorough and proper lesson plan. Jen leaves absolutely no stone (or shall I say muscle) unturned, and she brings a unique passion to her work that results in bringing out the best in everyone. Jen is a gift you give yourself!”
