ABOUT ME

Hello and welcome to my website! My name is Jacqueline Penna and I wanted to share a little about me and my credentials! I am located in Austin, TX and fitness has been a passion of mine my entire life. After high school playing many sports, I wanted to find something that allowed me to be competitive. This is where I grew my passion for fitness and health as I see how it can improve life on multiple levels! Through many years of trial and error, education, and experiences I am confident in helping others succeed because I can relate. Seriously! I have struggled with confidence, used to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day, lost belief in my abilities, and struggled with nutrition. Nutrition is always a work in progress, but after my mom getting 2 heart attacks I feared I could be next. I used to pride myself in drinking Mountain Dew, eating a whole bag of candy, and inhaling a medium pizza all by myself. Now, the love of flexible dieting with the focus on quality foods has allowed me to feel guilt-free in my decisions.

My mission is to help as many people as I can build sustainable habits no matter what the hectic work/life schedule looks like. We are all WORTHY of getting the body we desire and achieve a life of happiness through health. Seeing how we live in a fast-paced society that prides “working hard” and always being “busy” it is more crucial to not lose sight of our health so we can live a long life enjoying the things we work so hard for and gain more experience on life. Thank you for being here and I hope to help you move forward with your goals!

Hobbies/Interest: I love spending time with my husband and finding new restaurants to eat at! We have had many guinea pigs and my Lionhead Bunny, Jack, is my sweet baby. I love all kinds of music, but I primarily listen to metal music and instrumental. On my free time, I enjoy spending time making art and even make commission pieces. I have some pieces hanging in Cure Bakery in North Austin.
