Hi! I’m Jen. The chick behind The Solo Trainer.
I am a mom. I am a career changer. And I am in love with good Mexican food.
I’ve also done the overworked, overstressed for not enough pay thing at a gym facility, working both as a trainer and as a manager.
I took the leap in 2017 to go out on my own, take back my time and my life, and get paid what I am worth. I wanted to have a satisfying, rewarding career while at the same time be there for my family. I now have a successful solo business bringing in over $100K a year just from personal training sessions.
I love my schedule. I love my clients. I love my freedom. And I want you to have the same.
This is why I created The Solo Trainer – to provide the resources, guidance, and support I wish I’d had when I was getting started to those who want a thriving independent personal training career.
I am glad you are here, and I am excited to learn of your success.
You aren’t alone in achieving your dream career. Let’s do this together!
To the great that awaits!
