ABOUT JANINA
I started my fitness business Janina’s Fitness Center for women in 2005 as a way to help other women become empowered in all areas of their lives by taking responsibility for their health, fitness and overall health.
If they conquer this and are able to become happy with their bodies, weight, and self esteem issues then all areas of their lives will improve-career, personal and health.
I absolutely love all things to do with fitness since it is my passion. I love what I do and don’t just do fitness but also am an applied mindfulness life coach and energy medicine practitioner.
I just love to help others move past their limiting beliefs and blockages in life but I know that conquering the fitness challenge will remove all other blocks as well. I”ve had many hard challenges in my life that I would not have overcome had I not been the athletic minded woman that I am. I don’t believe in giving up, losing nor taking the easy way out.
One of my trainers for my early shows said to me, to be the best you must train hard, with no excuses and my late father always instilled in me to never make excuses in life.
