My name is Whitney Jackson and I believe that being fit and healthy can be a happy and exciting way of living. With a degree in kinesiology & health science and a personal training certification with an emphasis in nutrition, I have learned that our bodies thrive when we are setting them up for success by eating healthy and staying active. Being a mom to two girls, a 2 year old and a 3 month old, I completely understand the feeling of being busy and overwhelmed by the demands of life. But I also understand that setting apart time to staying active will improve every other aspect of my life. So it is worth the sacrifice! My husband and I love to ski, mountain bike, hike and run and we bring our two girls with us as much as possible! My exercise regimen has changed drastically over the years; I played basketball for two years of college, being named MVP of the team both years. I then became a personal trainer and began teaching group fitness classes. I ran a few marathons, qualifying for the Boston marathon while I was pregnant with our first daughter! At this point in my life I am in love with Fit Factory’s quick and effective workouts. I don’t have the same kind of time to exercise that I had during earlier years, and the format of our workouts at Fit Factory allow me to maintain a high level of physical activity in a short amount of time, and we have a lot of fun!
