Specializing in Women's Fitness
About Jenna Dawn Fitness
I’m Jenna—a mom of two, wife, and the woman who can somehow turn a normal conversation into one about pelvic floors.
For 11 years, I’ve worked with pregnant and postpartum women. And I mean all stages of postpartum—six weeks, six years, or decades after birth. Once postpartum, always postpartum.
During pregnancy, I help women build strength and prepare for birth through labour training. Labour can be one of the most physically demanding experiences of our lives. I believe we should train for it. I combine periods of physical effort with deep meditation and breathwork, teaching women to connect with their bodies, work through intensity, and find calm between efforts.
Postpartum, I help women rebuild their deep core and pelvic floor, bring that connection into everyday life, and learn to strength train while supporting their pelvic floor. I want women to feel strong, capable, and like themselves again—with a body they trust.
I’m a big believer in setting our bodies up for longevity. I want to keep lifting, running, and keeping up with my kids for years to come. And I want the women I work with to keep doing whatever makes them feel alive, too.
IMPORTANCE OF BUILDING MUSCLE POSTPARTUM
Look Good, Feel Good
There are numerous benefits to building muscle that are truly invaluable. Regardless if you are postpartum, pregnancy, or in the menopausal stage, I highly emphasize the significance of strength training with core emphasis. When we have well-developed muscles, they provide crucial support to our joints. Additionally, the more muscle mass your body possesses, the more calories it is capable of burning, leading to a reduction in overall body fat. Building muscle is a key component of all the programs I offer, as it promotes overall health and well-being.
DEEP CORE & PELVIC FLOOR TRAINING
Incorporating the diaphragm, TVA and pelvic floor
Strengthening the deep core muscles and pelvic floor is crucial for multiple reasons. Firstly, it helps to maintain a strong body overall, as these muscles play a key role in providing stability and support to our spine and internal organs. They also contribute to proper posture and alignment, reducing the risk of injury and promoting overall strength and balance.
For pregnant individuals, strengthening the deep core muscles and pelvic floor is particularly important. These muscles support the growing uterus, help maintain proper alignment of the spine, and can assist in the delivery process. A strong core and pelvic floor can also help reduce back pain and discomfort during pregnancy.
In the postpartum period, focusing on the deep core muscles and pelvic floor becomes essential for a quick recovery. Strengthening these muscles can aid in the healing of abdominal separation (diastasis recti) that commonly occurs during pregnancy. It can also help restore strength, stability, and function to the pelvic floor, which can be weakened from childbirth.
By prioritizing deep core and pelvic floor exercises, individuals can expect a stronger body, a more comfortable pregnancy experience, and a speedier postpartum recovery. It is crucial to consult a healthcare professional or a qualified fitness instructor for guidance on appropriate exercises and techniques.
A BIT ABOUT ME
I'm a full time mom of two young boys. They are my motivation and inspiration every single day.
I'm also a Certified Personal Trainer, and a Pre & Postnatal Fitness Specialist.
My passion for fitness and coaching began when I was pregnant in 2014. Our first baby wasn't planned. I was so nervous, so scared that my body was going to be forever ruined, that I'd never feel sexy again. After that settled in, I decided to take hold of the situation as best I could. I began educating myself on prenatal fitness. I had a very easy pregnancy, delivery & I bounced back quicker than I could ever imagine.
After my first was born I got my certifications and begin my coaching journey. I wanted to educate others.
Since then I've helped both women of all fitness levels reach their specific goals. I've also gone on to specialize in postpartum core rehabilitation so I can help new moms gain a new appreciation for their amazing bodies. My mission from the beginning has always remained simple. Educate your clients, motivate them and inspire them. Nothing brings me more satisfaction than knowing I helped someone get to their goals.
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Hear What Others Have to Say
I had always worked out with getting very little results. I met Jenna 3 years ago and, after seeing her AMAZING body, she inspired me as a mom to try some different workouts and get results. Even though we weren’t able to workout together everyday, the workouts that Jenna had put together were geared towards all of my goals. I had always done lots of cardio and had not dappled much in weights. Jenna had introduced me slowly to the weights, I now have strength in my arms, legs, and abs. Jenna is a great trainer and she will push you when you want to give up or if you don’t think you can do it. Jenna also helped me with getting my macros correct and even with some recipes to include nutrition. I would not use another personal trainer after working with Jenna.

I've been working with Jenna for almost a year now and am so happy with the training shes provided. We began when I was 20 weeks pregnant and she was able to customize my workouts through back and sciatic pains. Now, 3 months postpartum, I am down 26lbs with 10lbs to go for pre baby body!
On-top of guiding me through my fitness journey, Jenna was my go to girl for all pregnancy related questions as well as tips on meal plans. Shes relatable, patient and great at communicating throughout the week. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for physical improvement.

I have been a client of Jenna’s for 8 months but I have known her more than 10 years. I knew her before she had her kids and before she started her fitness journey. I’ve watched her transform both mentally and physically into a badass fitness guru and amazing mother of two boys.
I came to her 5 months after having my son and to say I was starting from scratch was a understatement. I wasn’t in shape before I was pregnant and didn’t stay very active during my pregnancy, I had ZERO core strength afterwards. Her online program is simple to use and can be customized to anyone. Her videos and tutorials in the app are easy to follow, the results tracking feature also makes it easy to keep track of your progress. Her knowledge in this has been extremely helpful and she is always available for any questions or concerns I have. It has been a major lifestyle change but a welcomed one, I would not have been able to do it without her! Thank you for being an inspiration for all women Jenna!

I decided to start with Jenna when I realized how scared I was about not being able to be back in shape after giving birth and mostly scared about having my abs back.
I also felt I was lost about what I could do and not do to keep working out in a safe way being pregnant and after giving birth.
Jenna knew exactly what I needed to do to reach my goals.
I found her very attentive and available. She wrote me often and I also could text her anytime. I felt very comfortable about asking for any change and she always knew how to adapt it to my goals.
I am very happy about my experience with Jenna and I will definitely contact her again for any other body goal in the future.
