Testimonials
Having tried many trainers in the past and eventually stopping, I thought I didn’t like the gym. I was referred to Jennifer by a friend who was very satisfied with his and his fiance’s results. Jennifer customized a workout program that she felt would work for me. Anyone reading this testimonial would say that is what all trainers do, yet Jennifer went further by customizing a mental program to help me trust and understand the process. This type of program helped me come to the conclusion that it wasn’t because I didn’t like the gym, but I realized I was intimidated by it. Even though Jennifer’s customized road map for me had its bumps in the road, the map had clear directions and destination and was also achievable. Jennifer’s commitment to my health and understanding of my health will be with me for the rest of my life. I believe she cared more for my health and fitness than I did and my progress is due to her sincere effort. -Hambis Charalambous I started working with Jen because I wanted to learn balance in my workouts and eating habits. I had been competing for almost 2 years and while I enjoyed every minute of the grueling workouts and restricted eating, I came to a point where I realized I needed to learn how to just live balanced. Jen helped me learn that I could keep a fit body without constantly dieting or binging. She also helped me realize that doing my best didn't mean being super hard on myself when I wasn't perfect. She is knowledgeable, straight forward and will make anyone feel comfortable in their own skin. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or a seasoned competitor, Jen can bring out the best in you and your body. -Jada Kelly The best decision I ever made was to employ Jennifer Dietrick as my competition prep coach. Her knowledge and expertise in figure/bikini competitions is priceless. She gave me information, I believe, that I would not have gotten anywhere else. From backstage goings on and preparation to the minute details of posing for competition. This is how precise she is. I felt so ready and confident for my first show, I knew I would place high and I did. I took first. My hard work on my physique and Jennifer's knowledge of what it takes to compete with the best was a winning combination. My second show, first place. I qualified for the nationals at this show and brought a hard earned physique to the nationals and was called out in the 4th round out of six. You ask why not first? Well, considering I'm about 25 years older than the average competitor in this competition, I think that's pretty damn good! My next competition will be the California Pro Figure in May of next year. Will I use Jennifer? "Don't leave home without her!” -JoAnn Hudson This year, I wanted to transition into and maintain a lifestyle that embodied health and fitness & that is when I found Jen! She is exactly what I want to be in the sense of "sustainability"-- Jen lives and breathes health and fitness. She comes from a gymnastics and science background, a perfect combination to transition into the fitness and health industry as a personal trainer, nutritionist and IFBB professional. l feel truly blessed to have her in my life as a professional trainer, nutritionist, & fitness IFBB coach. She provided me with a workout plan and nutritional plan, and coaching sessions to prepare for my first NPC Bikini Competition! My goal was to lean out, gain muscle and get a rockin' body just like Jen. Well, she did just that, and I am ecstatic; yet the most important goal was achieved--sustainability. Jen taught me how to embody this fit and healthy lifestyle year round, and that is what I most thankful for! Our workouts are never dull and always varied. She challenges me physically and mentally to constantly push my body to do one more rep when I think I can't! What also amazes me is that she does so with a smile! Jen is so engaging, energetic and encouraging! I always look forward to working out with her and can't wait until our next session! Jen also provided me with a great nutritional plan that was tasty and easy to prepare AND eat. She has taught me to fuel my body with the proper and tasty nutrients so that I am NOT starving but actually eating constantly and continuously throughout the day; it's great! And Jen also trained me for my first bikini competition by teaching me how to prepare for a show and the many steps needed for success, a few being the bathing suit, posing, and walking! Jen is smart, knowledgeable, beautiful inside and out, and a complete professional; you can't ask for a better health and fitness professional to reach your goals because with Jen you will definitely get there! I did :) Cheers to sustainable fit and healthy living, -Maggie Lane Since working with Jen Dietrick, I have more strength, physically and emotionally; I am toned; I have more energy; my body has changed. Before we started working together, I was overweight, my blood pressure and cholesterol were high and signified that I was in danger. But since working with her my numbers are good, my health has been steady, and I am strong. Now I receive compliments instead of sad looks and advice. As Jen is fond of saying "you can do more than you think," and I have been doing much more than I ever thought possible. . .because of JEN! -Pam Felcher I've been training with the fabulous Jennifer Dietrick for the past year now. When we began our sessions I really had no clue how to "properly" work out for my body type or just in general. I would go to the gym, run through all the machines, call it a day and think I did amazing because I would be so out of breath. My biggest thing was I hated the gym scene and didn't want to stay in there too long, so I would do the bare minimum and thought it would be better than doing nothing. When I met Jen at our first session, I knew this girl knew her stuff and she had the body to prove it! We started off slow and basic and learned some techniques and the importance of stretching. My goal was to just tone, but I have learned a lot more about my body than expected. She is ALWAYS on time and always brings the positive energy even if I'm literally just getting out of bed! Our routines never get boring or played out, because she is always introducing something new with a fun name for each exercise. I feel Jen goes above and beyond the basic trainer because she really wants you to succeed and she wants you to feel good about yourself. I've emailed her while away on vacation on her "off hours" and had forgotten what the "fire hydrant" was, for example, and sure enough there was a prompt response with a detailed explanation from her within the hour! She is always answering my million questions in full detail and she is up for new things such as hiking or trapeze activities. I even learned (almost) how to do a cartwheel from Jen ( Which I thought for sure my chances of learning one at my age was extremely slim to none). I could literally go on for pages as to why I love my trainer so much. I'll just end by saying when I started with Jen I thought I was only going to train with her for 4 weeks, learn some moves and techniques, and carry it out on my own- Now, I'm still addicted to her and very thankful I’ve stuck it out with her (so is my body!). -Kimberly Matos I approached Jennifer seeking posing training for a bikini competition and I'm so pleased with all the helped I received from her. I appreciate that she always tried to accommodate my odd schedule even when at times changed unexpectedly. I really liked the fact that her feedback was always in a positive manner. Jennifer even recorded me during our sessions together and email them to me with great feedback. This was a great way for me to know exactly how to improve myself. Also, being completely new to a bikini competition, I was a bit scared not knowing what to expect. However, the insight that Jennifer gave, which covered all aspects of the competition, helped me feel more confident going into the competition knowing exactly what to expect. But most importantly I felt as if she cared about my success in the competition. Right before the competition started, I received a very inspiring text message from her that helped me feel even more secure about myself. And her attendance at the competition and feedback thereafter was even more meaningful. If in need, not only would I seek her help again but I would most definitely recommend Jennifer to everyone else. -Xochitl Zuniga
