Meet me, Jenna.

Oh hey! I’m Jenna K,
I’ve been a part of the Lifecycle family since opening day! Crazy hey?!

In my time away from the studio I am an Orthopedic Bracing Technician and fitness instructor at another local fitness studio in the city. Aside from spinning, CrossFit, running, basketball, and ultimate frisbee are just a couple of my favourite ways to move my body. After classes you can find me sipping an americano at my fav local coffee shop. I have a soft spot for mental health as I have walked and continue to walk through many different challenges in that area of my life. My hope is that my classes will leave you with more than just a physical challenge, but an opportunity for growth in other areas.

I started instructing at Lifecycle when I was in university. At that time I had limited exposure to group fitness classes. I had always been intimidated by the thought of comparison between me and other members. The thoughts of “am I strong enough?”, “is my form good enough?”, and most of all “will people think I’m out of shape?”

It’s the dim lit environment. The heavy beat. The energy the community brings in the room. The dripping sweat. The willingness to test vulnerability of not only physical stamina, but of mental stamina. Lifecycle is more than a movement of the body, it’s a movement of the soul. That’s what gets me in the saddle every single time.
