Introduction
Fitness is not just a goal, it is a way of life. It’s how you are, feel, and move in your body. How you move through the world. When you become fit within yourself, that translates to the outer world. Everything you do has an effect. The first step is caring for and respecting yourself. You have control over whether you exercise or not, what you eat or don’t. In a world that can feel so out of control, this is one area where you have it. This can be very grounding and reassuring. It’s something you can focus on when life feels out of focus. Plus it has great benefits! Taking control of your health can only have a positive impact, and I would love to help you find the balance that works for you. Once you start working on the physical, it can be a springboard for evolving towards balance on the mental, emotional, and spiritual levels. Everything is connected. Fitness is not something you “should ” or “have” to do, it is an important part of who you are.

Testimonials

I started working out with Kris Jennings about 9 months ago with the intention of retainer her for 1 month. My goal at the time was to get in shape for an upcoming vacation. I’ve been working out for about 20 yrs on my own and have had trainers periodically. What I found different about Kris’s approach is her knowledge of the body and innovative work outs. I have a back injury as well as flexibility challenges. Understanding all of this Kris went right to work. Full body workouts including strength, cardio, and core training. My results were great. We focused on areas of my body that I would have never thought of on my own. Within the first month I was certainly ready for the vacation and on return we continued to train twice a week until today. Kris is tough, but very personalable and always is positive. I would recommend anyone looking for a challenging work out with great results to consult Kris. Doug Smith

If you are thinking about utilizing a trainer at LVAC, Kris Jennings should be at the top of your list. She is my trainer and here is why she should be yours. First she treats everyone as an individual and her first question to me was what do you want to achieve from our training. Being retired and a rabid golfer, my two main goals were to become more flexible and to develop a stronger core. With those goals in mind, she set up my training program. As my training has progressed, she continues to question me as to whether I feel I am moving forward in meeting my goals. She is always on time, has a great personality and is enjoyable to train with. However, the main reason I continue to train with her is that she has been very successful in helping me make great progress toward reaching my major goals. An added bonus is that I have dropped an inch in my midsection. Need I say more! Bill Edmundson

As a bonus to my specific workouts, Kris has the knowledge and expertise of creating and teaching steps for a healthy diet. She has helped guide me in directions which has changed the way I eat and cook, proving to have valuable and lifelong positive changes for my health. Kris is a pleasure to work with and goes above and beyond her duties as a personal trainer. Kris has helped change the way I look and feel by offering the complete package for total healthy living.” A. Marcus

Kris takes personal training to an exciting new level that involves much more than the typical “gym-sweat” routine. Always a bundle of positive energy, she offers expert fitness advice and integrates it with passion, fun, and encouragement. Kris is a pro when it comes to both old school and more cutting edge workout techniques, in addition to overall health and nutrition information. We signed up for Kris’s special “Sunday Bootcamp” semi-private training sessions, and loved it so much that we decided to sign up again for a second round. She drastically improved conventional workout routines by incorporating elements of core stability, strength, and speed. Kris is always accommodating to our particular limits and needs, but also pushes us to try harder and do more (always with a smile, of course). After 14 weeks of intense, total body exercise with Kris, we experienced immediate changes to our bodies and posture. We have never felt more energized and confident than before, and would absolutely train with her again! — Jason and Chai

I really enjoy my workouts with Kris. I’m especially interested in strengthening my muscles so I can improve my posture, and Kris has designed my workouts specifically with this in mind, in addition to my overall fitness. I also take ballroom dance lessons, and the improvement in my posture has contributed to improvement in my dancing. It’s very exciting. -Stephanie

I just wanted to thank you for all the help you gave me. I remember coming in to see you, really down on the way I was eating, feeling very helpless, and leaving feeling much more empowered. I’ve done pretty much all the things you suggested with my diet and I can’t tell you how much better I feel. I think those Nordic Naturals are a life saver! Thanks so much!! I’m grateful for your help and I’m very glad to havemet you. -Laura
