Having experienced the pitfalls of yo-yo dieting and the uncomfortable settings of big gyms, Jen was determined to gain the knowledge she needed to live a healthy life and help others who were experiencing the same frustrations.  She began working at Curves for Women in 2004 where she was able to hold group classes on the side to teach women the importance of strength training.  In 2010 she attended Naugatuck Valley Community College where she received her personal training certification through the World Instructor Training Schools program.  In January 2011 she was able to fulfill her dream and open Achieve Fitness with all the ideas she had been gathering throughout her years of experience.  Jen has since received a certification in Advanced Sports Nutrition from Action Personal Training.
