Testimonials

 

LAURA:

I began working with Jen because we’re about the same age and I needed experience with musculoskeletal issues. Jen has been responsive to specific needs I have and while initially she started with a slow approach to make sure I could handle what I was doing, she quickly went into pushing me to where she knew I could go. My chiropractor said my spine is now moving easier in my adjustments, I mostly have zero pain in my joints, SI joint, and spine. I can literally feel my body being strong. Not just getting stronger, but being strong. I am forever grateful and love working with her. I know she’s got my back.

 


JON:

I wanted to build on my overall size but had no clear path. Jen helped me slow down and find a way to make every rep count. Jen showed me the importance of stretching, warm up reps with the correct weight for the movement, and load management for my body. I learned new movements I was unsure about or felt funny doing before working with Jen. She also worked with me to find different holds or positions to make the exercises I was doing hit harder. We worked on recovery and touched a little on food, so my energy levels went up and I was able to see more definition in a short time. I learned that killing your self day in and out in the gym is not how to get big, and that food and recovery play a bigger role and I wish that I started my gym training with Jen. I had a lot of setbacks that could have been avoided if I had her knowledge.

 


KAITLIN:

When I started with Jen, I was struggling with sticking to a workout routine. I stopped and started exercising several times because I either got frustrated by the lack of results or I would do a workout wrong and injure myself. Being healthy is important to me, but it always felt like exercise was either a waste of time or a great way to get hurt. It’s been wonderful meeting with someone who knows how to get results and how to get those results safely. I have been surprised by how quick my progress has been and how much more energetic I feel. I wasn’t sure how I would fit workouts into my schedule, but Jen’s guidance has really helped me. Jen tailors workouts with your goals in mind. Her routines feel  personalized, and she always checks in to ensure that you are comfortable with what you’re doing both physically and mentally. Her encouragement has been so helpful and has been vital for keeping me on track.

 


MOLIKA:

Before working with Jen, I struggled with figuring out what to do. I got anxious to start new exercises. I was afraid I would use the wrong form and hurt myself. I was in need of guidance. The Intro Pack gave me an affordable option for helping me learn the fundamental exercises which was very important and impactful. I have never felt this strong physically. Mentally I feel great, I am definitely more focused. I feel a lot more confident going to the gym and start my workout. I am not afraid to try new exercises I found on social media like before. 
Jens coaching style very easy to follow. She made it simple but impactful. She gave me time to do each exercise. My goal is to lose some weight and get stronger without focusing exclusively on the number on the scale too much, rather focus more on how I feel physically and mentally. If you’re on the fence: DO IT! IT IS SO WORTH IT!!!!

 


KYLE:

Jen Bergin has been my personal trainer for over 5 years. Jen is best described as someone who understands the balance that is required when participating in a training program. Jen knows when it is best to push me past the limits that I self impose and also knows when the program should be throttled back to allow time for recovery. Another way to describe Jen is adaptable. She is able to create workouts that are challenging and varied, and can also change things if needed to accommodate for shifting, real life circumstances. Continuing to work with Jen for so many years is a testament to how much I value her as both a trainer and a friend.

 


KIM:

Jen is an incredible fitness coach and she's great at what she does! I began working with her earlier this year after recovering from a knee injury and I was afraid to return to the gym on my own. She has been so helpful, understanding and encouraging. She truly is passionate about what she does and she's committed to helping her clients succeed. She always strives to give you the best and safest experience and every work out is individualized to meet your needs, abilities and restrictions.

 


ELLEN:

I’ve been going to the gym for as long as I can remember. 45 minutes on the treadmill, 3-4 days per week... Then I met Jen. I’ve been training with Jen for two years, and in that time she has transformed the way I work out. The treadmill is now something I do on my “off” days. Jen has taught me strength-training, HIIT cardio, and to work just about every muscle in my body (and I’ve felt it the next day!).  Training with Jen has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I never thought I would love working my core, be able to deadlift more than my body weight, enter a kettlebell competition, and start my 40’s in the best shape of my life. Jen is more than a trainer, she’s life changing!


BARBARA

Jen came highly recommended and I started in home training with her in 2016 when my former trainer moved away. We worked together for over a year before I moved too far away to continue our arrangement. Fortunately, we reconnected years later when I realized we both lived in New Hampshire. Unfortunately, Covid hit just before we were scheduled to meet in person so we were forced to resort to a virtual platform. I wasn’t sure how well training online would work out but now I love it as I can train with her no matter where I am.
Jen really knows her stuff: both exercise and nutrition. She’s so much fun to work with and doesn’t mind when I complain (which is pretty much every session!).
I’ve lost about 20 lbs since working with Jen. She has encouraged me to eat healthier and track my food and exercise, while also helping me increase my strength and stamina. She’s helped me understand how certain foods impact my health and my fitness goals.

Jen makes working out less miserable! Jen is very reliable, really loves her job and is very motivating both as to exercise and nutrition.

 


JACK:

When I decided that I wanted to join the United States Air Force, I knew that I was too unfit to be able to do well in Basic Military Training (BMT). And so, about a year before I left for BMT, I began working with Jen to help me prepare for joining the military. Before I met Jen, I was very underweight, barely above the minimum weight required for joining the Air Force. 

I began seeing Jen once a week so that she could teach me new exercises to increase my muscle mass and to build me up so that I would be ready for BMT. In addition, Jen helped me bulk up by providing me with a balanced exercise plan that I could do at home to help strengthen my entire body, and by helping me upgrade my diet, so that I would be consuming the necessary proteins and other nutrients I needed. Keeping contact with Jen was very easy; if I had any questions, I could just send her an email and she would answer back in a very timely manner.

The three parts of the BMT physical tests are pushups, sit-ups, and a mile and a half run. For my final physical exam, I achieved a total of 71 pushups in a minute and 63 sit-ups in a minute, both of which achieved the maximum scores for their respective categories. Cumulatively, I achieved over a 90 on the physical exam, which achieves the physical fitness achievement level of “Thunderbolt”.

Without Jen’s help, I would have definitely struggled a lot more on the physical exams as well as the daily exercises I did during BMT. Thanks to both Jen and the Air Force, I would consider myself physically fit, and I have much more confidence in myself than I did when I first started working with Jen. Jen’s knowledge and motivation helped me get to where I am today.



JULIE:

About 14 months ago, after struggling for years to lose weight and get healthier with just cardio, I realized I would have to bite the bullet and add weight training on a regular basis into my routine - but I had no clue where to begin. So I began working with Jen who responded to my reluctant grumblings with encouragement and reverse psychology, (which was SO obvious, but effective). Whenever I doubt myself and my ability to complete the task she sets before me, she always insists...I mean...reassures me that she know I can do it and only gloats a little...I mean... cheers me on when I prove her right. I have lost 15 pounds and gone down 4 jeans sizes this past year. I could not have done this on my own without Jen's awesome instruction. 
 

CRISTIN:

I have been training with Jen for over two years and it has truly been trans-formative! I had tried other trainers in the past, and liked them well enough, but what stands Jen out from the rest is her absolute drive and passion for fitness and training. She loves to teach and this is evident in every single session. 
When i began to work with Jen, I knew my form needed to improve, and she saw that right away. She pushed me and challenged me but also worked within my limitations. 2 years later, I am doing things that have way surpassed my initial goals and what I thought I would never have been able to accomplish. Jen has taught me that there is always another peak and the only thing that will get in my way, is my desire to attain it and the belief that I can do it. She taught me this through her own personal commitment to achieving new goals, as well as never allowing me to say, this is good enough.


PAT:

Working out with Jen is amazing. She is very patient and understanding for me as I am at the beginner level. Jen challenges me to improve all while teaching the proper form so I don't hurt myself. She is always on time and communicates extremely well. I am glad I found her. 

 
LISA:

When I hit 50 I realized I needed to invest in myself or in a new wardrobe. I was fortunate to find Jen and I've been working with her for almost a year now. Jen knows good body mechanics, and will tweak your form for optimal results. She challenges you while simultaneously moving you up into new comfort levels. I always look forward to our sessions and I am very happy with the return on my investment.  I'm sure you will be too. 


BRIDGET:

I started working with Jen to focus on getting my health on track. We were talking about starting a family, but I didn't feel like I was anywhere near healthy enough for pregnancy. Not only did I need to lose weight, I also needed to learn healthier habits for long-term success. Working with Jen is hard work, but she makes it easy to commit to fitness. She sets me up for success at each session by curating super personalized regimens. I always feel like I'm improving week to week, even day to day! Jen is committed to overall health - I had a lingering back issue that flared up and she communicated directly with my physical therapist to determine what exercises we should be focusing on together so I could keep working through a month of PT.
I've lost 40lbs and Jen has made me believe in myself and my strength. I tried so many fitness and health routines that were hard to stay committed to. One of the best things I've learned from Jen is about making overall healthier decisions but letting myself (and my body) adapt slowly.  Living a healthier lifestyle has helped in more ways than just weight loss - I sleep better, I don't feel the urge to nap on the weekends, I don't lose focus towards the end of the workday anymore, and (maybe most importantly?) I can keep up with my sister on hiking trips. I find myself reaching for whole grains and fresh produce out of habit now! Jen coaches me in a way that encourages me to push myself and believe in my own strength. I actually look forward to exercising, which was never the case before, since I know the exercises are so well-suited to me and my growth. Even though we've never met in person, Jen has really taken the time to get to know me and help me succeed.  I've already encouraged 2 friends to work with Jen and they are loving it! If you're like me and have always struggled to commit to healthy practices, I can't recommend Jen enough. I never considered a personal trainer in the past but Jen is affordable and worth every penny. I highly recommend working with Jen.


 
ERINET:

I can't  begin to describe how great Jen is. You will see results, you wont be disappointed.  But the awesome part is she keeps you motivated, she believes in you when you don't thinks you can do it. She just doesn't give up on you. When you feeling grumpy, tired & lazy she doesn't give up. 
After 2 months working with Jen I have lower  body strength  for the first time of my life. (I have never been able to do lunges  or push-up before now).   This girl lives, breathes and eat fitness. Working out w Jen is never a dull.  I could go on and on about how amazing she is but long story short: if you want to train with a genuinely  awesome  person who invest  in reaching your personal goals, Jen is the girl for you. YOU WILL GET GREAT RESULTS  AND WILL NOT REGRET  IT.!!!!

 
MELINDA:

Jen is a constant professional! Jen started out as my trainer but quickly turned into a friend. She’s incredibly knowledgeable in health and fitness and is always working to add new techniques and to incorporate the latest developments in the industry. She takes the time to get to know you individually which allows her to create workouts just for you. Jen also knows your limits and encourages you to be the best YOU that you can be and to push past limits you may have imposed on yourself. Working with Jen will not only improve your health and fitness but you will also join a group of people that are encouraging and supportive that can’t be found anywhere else! 


RHONDA:

I have know Jen for many years as my personal trainer, and now as my friend. I am very glad I met her, she is very professional, patient and passionate about her work. She is also an expert in what she does. Not only does she help her clients by making them healthier, but she also helps them become more confident. In my experience with her, not only have I become more physically fit but also she helped change my lifestyle and my attitude toward living a healthier life. She is always on time, happy, kind, and always has a smile on her face which makes you feel great! Workouts are always challenging but fun!

 

JENN:

Jen came into my life after a battle with cancer. My reason for going to Jen was to get the chemo weight off and to simply keep moving!  While Jen understands my limitations, she always pushes me to do more and teaches me that my limitations are not an excuse to be inactive.  I've lost my weight and my strength has increased a great deal, but most importantly, I sweat, I sweat a lot and that makes me feel good about me and my future health!
 


ED:

When I started seeing Jen just under a year ago, I was the heaviest I had ever been in my entire life.  At 37, I knew I needed to change my lifestyle.  My wife had been training with Jen and was seeing such amazing results so I decided to give her a try.  Now 9 months later, having lost 20 lbs. I'm at my high school weight, in the best shape of my life and I owe it all to Jen.  She pushes me to train harder than I ever thought possible and I couldn't be happier with how I look and feel.  Thank you Jen! You're awesome even on the days I'm sucking wind!!

 


JOANETTE:

Last April I decided to try personal training because I wanted to lose weight, and my sister, Erinet, (who was already doing personal training) recommended Jen . For the past 1 1/2  month I have been pushed and challenged by Jen. She is very attentive to your needs, she encourages to do better but knows what your limits are, and how far she can push you. Jen is helping me achieve my fitness goals and I know she will help me change my life for the better.
 


DIANNE:

Hi Jen…I could write a book about how great you are as a person and a PT.  I love how positive, patient and kind you are.  I admire how you start your training at your clients level and help them get stronger from there. You know how to push without being pushy. Most of all, I always feel that you truly care about how I feel.
