I have found my calling; to learn, help, and connect women through Movement, Education, and Reflection.
In a bustling metropolis or Rural Farm; I love bringing awareness to the amazing world we live in, to listen and learn from the locals, the animals and the plants around us.
Movement: Experiencing my passion for the outdoors through trekking, fitness and exploring.
Education: Sharing our knowledge with each other and opening our minds to new perspectives.
Reflection: Take time to breathe, to meditate, to slow down, to really notice the present moment and appreciate this amazing life!

Jennifer's Story:
2001-2004: Fitness Supervisor at SUNY Brockport while going to college for Recreation and Leisure Management and Business Administration, as well as playing lacrosse, rugby, and teaching the ROTC early morning Physical Training sessions and off-ice training for the hockey team.

2004: Recreation and Fitness Manager at Saddlebrook Resort in Wesley Chapel, FL, working with corporate retreats to create fun and fit activities that motivate and create team-building. I also developed a golf and tennis conditioning with flexibility program for players from around the world.

2005-2007: Graduate Assistant for Group Exercise at Boston University while obtaining my Masters of Education. I taught a credit course to students interested in learning what it takes to be a great fitness instructor with the proper knowledge and personality.

2007-2010: Fitness and Recreation Director at Green Mountain at Fox Run, a womens wellness retreat in Ludlow, VT. I taught women the basics of fitness both inside and outside of a classroom or fitness studio. This included hiking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing treks, as well as kickboxing, water aerobics, Zumba, step, basic strength training, stretching, yoga and pilates classes. You name it, I taught it here so that every woman who came to the facility walked away with the opportunity to fall in love with something they might not have tried on their own.

2010-2013: Athletic Facility Director at Fort Orange Club in Albany, NY. Here I was given the task to take a newly built athletic facility and get the members of the club to try it out. From November 2010 to November 2012, I increased the programming and services offered, and increased monthly attendance by 500%. And established programming and membership that made this once males-only club accessible and enjoyable to all women! Rock the boat baby!!

May 2013-Present: In the hopes of pursuing my dream to educate and help as many people as possible, I started Forever Wild Women and RAW Fitness Saratoga, where I strive to create an environment of respect and trust that welcomes every woman to take a second look at wellness. Together, we make it something you love to do rather than have to do.

2014: Trademarked Boxilates®, a combination of Heavy Bag and Target Pad Training mixed with Pilates.
