Jennifer K. Blau
Jen started with Body Temple in September 2007. She comes to us with a lifelong love of fitness and health. From soccer to kickboxing, yoga to marathons, Jen loves to use her body, get it moving and being physical!
Jen understands the demands of the corporate world on busy women today, in her “former life” Jen worked in NYC for the Nasdaq stock market, in San Francisco for a major bank on their trading floor, and later in Sydney for ASIC. But, after the birth of her first daughter Jen realized her talents and passion for fitness would be better served by helping others get into shape, or regain their shape and confidence post baby. So, Jen went after and attained her personal trainer certification and became fully qualified as a NSCA (National Strength and Conditioning Association) trainer. Following her passion for fitness has not only made her a healthier and happier person, but a healthier and happier wife and mother!
Last year Jen started her own business training a handful of clients … while pregnant with twins! She credits her work with clients, and own self-training regime, while pregnant in helping her regain her former shape post-pregnancy. Jen admits, “I still have a bit to go, but I would not have lost the 20 kg I gained when pregnant with my twins so quickly had I not been in shape when I got pregnant and had I not kept up with an exercise regime while pregnant”.
Jen is also certified as a NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) practitioner. NLP involves a number of things from psychotherapy to the study of language and patterns of interpersonal communication, but in its most basic form it allows people to reframe negative beliefs and thought patterns into more positive, constructive ones. Have you ever heard of “thinking yourself thin” or using imagery to imagine your way to a leaner, fitter you? Well, that’s NLP and it’s a very powerful tool in faciltating weight loss and attaining fitness goals.
Jen is very excited about her new position at Body Temple. She says, “I am truly honored to be part of the Body Temple team! The talent, energy and focus on creating an environment where health and fitness empower women are awe-inspiring. I can’t wait to join the team in inspiring, motivating, and making a positive difference in women’s lives. Here’s to the passion for health and fitness in body, mind, and soul.”
