I must have driven by BodyBurn about a billion times before finally giving it a try. I remember…read moreseeing that it was a personal training gym for a while and then suddenly it looked like a club from the outside. A friend of mine became a fan and convinced me to give it a try too. One class and I was hooked! The BodyBurn 1.0 class utilizes motorless cardio machines and strength sets to get you sweaty and basically just want to lay down and die at the end of the class. The cardio machines range from your basic bike and row machine to the coolest climbing wall and ski erg. If you are a new to fitness and this sounds daunting, don't worry. You don't have to be an Olympic athlete to be able to do this stuff. If you are super fit and want a challenge, you can get that here too. There are ways to tailor it to make it a great workout for whatever level you your fitness level. And the best part? The instructors don't make you feel like a big ol' baby when you get nervous on the climbing wall and decide to take it to climb up it rather than run up it like the dude (my husband) that was on it before you. As a matter of fact, they are just encouraging (and not in that really annoying way that some group fitness instructors can be). There is also a BodyBurn 2.0 class that focuses less on cardio and more on strength using weights and TRX. I haven't had a chance to take those classes but it is on my To Do list. In addition to a good class they seem to be interested in building a whole community. They are active on Instagram, have unique sections on their app and seem to remember every client's name. The *only* critique I have of this studio is the price/class packages. Drop-in classes are $30 (first class is $15) and they have some X number of class packages and monthly memberships. If you want to go several times a week, you are looking at almost $300/month. I don't know why, but once you get over the $225 range for monthly membership, I can't justify it in the budget. This critique isn't enough for me to give it 4 stars though. I'm sticking with the 5! Note: I've never had any pressure to sign up for a membership. I've taken 2 other people with me and they haven't had any either. (FINALLY a place that gets it!) Go. Sweat. Enjoy!

Jodian is incredible. She's honest, genuine, caring, motivational, supportive, talented, and…read moreknowledgeable. She has transformed how I feel about working out, and she has helped transform my body. I highly recommend her to anyone interested in fitness, and bettering themselves. I consider her to be more than just my trainer. She is a mentor, an inspiration, a reliable guide, and she's practically a life coach. After having weekly sessions with her for over a year now, I feel we've become good friends. She checks in with me often, just to see how I'm doing. She asks how my body is feeling following every workout, and adjusts our exercises for the next session accordingly (when appropriate). She has listened to me very carefully, since we first began working out together. She takes into consideration all of my weird flexibility issues, my back and neck issues, and my absurdly tight calves. She is incredibly accommodating and understanding, in every regard. We've even begun meal prepping together! I was actually really surprised how great everything has tasted so far, because she has used nothing but very healthy ingredients. I continue to learn valuable lessons from Jodian. She is helping me to change my life, one step at a time. I am sincerely grateful to have met her. I'm not going to lie, I've always loathed working out, and I never managed to establish an actual workout routine. Given this, the fact that I have stuck with her for over a year speaks volumes of her talent. Trust me, if you're at all interested, take the leap, and reach out to her. You won't regret it.

Plus I was leaving for a vacation we'd been planning forever and I wanted to feel comfortable in my clothes again for that trip. I hesitated to hire a nutritionist because I felt like I had been pretty well educated on what eating healthy looked like. But these days, between whole 30 and paleo and keto, I was having a difficult time knowing what I should focus on. Jenn gave me clear directions and delicious recipes right away. I dropped 4lb in the first week that never came back. Over the month of working with her, I dropped 8 lbs and 2". Not only that, she helped me reframe my thoughts about the scale and my body. I left for my big trip yesterday and I couldn't be happier. Thank you, Jenn!

I have been fortunate enough to know Jenn both as my personal trainer and as my nutritionist. I…read morethink the absolute best thing about Jenn is her holistic view of nutrition. It is not just about working out and eating healthy, but it is about leading a full life, whatever that may mean for you. Her background in counseling definitely comes through in all of her work, and I quickly was comfortable working with her and talking to her about my frustrations and my goals. As a nutritionist, she has a wonderful way of personalizing each session. While there are pre-planned topics for each discussion, if there is something personal going on, that always takes precedent. I started my nutrition program around the same time I started law school, so there were many stressors aside from food in my life. I definitely attribute a lot of my success in my first year to having Jenn help me work through the stress and focus and make time in my life for important things outside of school. As a trainer, Jenn is just extremely motivating and challenges you as far as you can go. She makes training fun and helps you set reachable goals, so you are constantly meeting them and setting news ones. She has innovative ideas to help you work around crazy schedules and makes sure that you are always pushing yourself. Overall, Jenn is a great person to work with and will quickly become a great friend! She is always willing to help through email, and is very flexible to meet the needs of those with demanding schedules. This year has been amazing working with her, and I look forward to continuing to do so for a very long time!
