Jennie Votel

As a personal trainer and health coach, my goal is to help my clients achieve better health and fitness, both physically and mentally. By providing guidance, support, and motivation, I team up with my clients to transform their lives, achieve their wellness goals and ultimately help them become their best version of themselves.

My experience as a mom of two teenage boys and a business owner allows me to understand the time challenges my clients confront when trying to achieve their health and fitness goals. By understanding these challenges, I can design programs and goals that make them feel successful in all aspects of their wellness journey.

I truly believe that movement is medicine and I love seeing my clients make that connection as well. I am excited to be offering training at FLEX.
