EPISODE 131: A Specialized Approach to Health and Fitness Training with Jen Petrask

What the Nell!?

In this episode, I welcome back to the podcast...my friend and owner of Fortitude Training and Wellness, Jen Petrask! As my first REAL guest two years ago, Jen has since expanded her impressive oncology nursing career by venturing into lung cancer research while simultaneously building a staunch presence in the fitness world. From her beginnings as a fitness competitor to becoming a certified personal trainer and nutrition specialist, Jen's dedication to health and well-being is truly remarkable. We discuss the pivotal moments and decisions that have shaped her dual careers, including her recent retirement from competitions and her completion of a cancer exercise specialist course.

Jen shares her journey from the stage to keynote speaker to navigating the world of entrepreneurship without a traditional business background. The pandemic pushed her to adapt and expand her services online, reaching individuals far beyond the local Elizabethtown, PA area.

We also touch on practical advice for those beginning their fitness journey, particularly women over 40 looking to combat osteoporosis with weight training. Jen and I emphasize the importance of combining medical insights with fitness expertise, providing tailored support for individuals with complex medical histories. Our conversation highlights the importance of science-backed guidance over social media myths, aiming to empower clients to achieve sustainable health goals.
