Upward Spiral Fitness

Jen was my “in person” personal trainer 9-10 years ago, and I was in the best physical condition of my life. In 2016 I stopped scheduled weight training because life got in the way (I retired from work, we spend most of our time in Summit County, Colorado, family crisis to deal with and Jen moved away). I tried intermittent weight training on my own, got all the stuff in my basement to workout with, but could never stay consistent or motivated. I continued to do Cycling and Skiing, but gradually noticed my strength and endurance declining, not to mention weight gain as well. Fortunately Jen kept me on her email list and was sending periodic emails and one caught my eye. I saw she was doing a 4 week challenge, all done at home, at my convenience with an App. I decided to sign up and try the Spiral Strong challenge, not sure if I could even do the exercises or if I would like it. It was challenging but soon I began to see improvements in strength and flexibility. Being able to workout at home, or our second home, on the day and time that works for me was a game changer. I am doing three workouts a week and am proud to say I only missed one in fifteen months. I am so much stronger and really notice a difference both Cycling and Skiing, not to mention my clothes look better (wearing leggings now!). Sometimes I don’t feel like working out but “just do it” and am always happy I did. The key to a happy and healthy life style is Strength Training and the Upward Spiral App makes it easy. Jen’s workouts, videos, descriptions, encouragement and help are outstanding and I cannot recommend her high enough. Upward Spiral is a great way to get in shape, be healthy and feel good about yourself. 💪 🚴 ⛷️ 🏋🏻‍♀️

I have been working with Jen of Upward Spiral Fitness for ten weeks now. The last five weeks have been using the new app program and I could not be happier! The app is very easy to navigate and each exercise has a video link so you can click and be sure your form is correct. It also keeps track of your previous weights used so there's no guessing or trying to remember on your own. The workouts Jen has created are challenging (in a good way!) with enough variety that I know I'm getting a terrific workout at home. My schedule makes it difficult to attend classes at a preset time. I get to choose the time of my workout with the app which means I don't 'miss' any sessions. While I love everything about the app, the best part of the experience has been Jen and her support. She's always cheering me on and supporting my fitness goals, and she's always there to answer any questions I have about the program. I'm already feeling so much stronger after only ten weeks. I look forward to working with Jen for a very long time!

I have been working with Jen for a few years and she’s amazing. The workouts are challenging without leaving me sore for days. The best apart is how involved and responsive she is. It’s so helpful and important when you’re working long distance with someone. I highly recommend working with Jen: your success is her success and who doesn’t want a cheerleader who challenges you.

Jen is fantastic! I joined Jen's virtual classes in January 2021 and she helped me build strength and confidence. Her workouts are always challenging in the best of ways and have a fun, community feel - even while being across the country from other participants. Further, after taking a break from workouts due to a medical injury, Jen helped me ease back into moving my body, providing plenty of modifications for my new limitations and consistently checked-in post-workout to see how I was feeling. She is truly a partner and friend in your fitness journey, no matter your goals!
