Jen Dufresne

OWNER, LEAD TRAINER

Hey, my name’s Jen.
I’m a mom, wife, personal trainer, fitness connector, competitor and goal-crusher.

I certainly didn’t grow up thinking fitness would be my career. Then I joined the Flywheel sports team in 2012, and everything changed. Right away, I fell in love with Charlotte’s fitness community. I loved being a part of something bigger than myself, and I realized very quickly that I had an internal drive to help others see their true potential through movement.

Over the past eight years, I’ve worked tirelessly to learn and experience everything I can about the industry. I am an AFAA Certified Personal Trainer, Spartan SGX Level 1 Coach and TRX Level 1 Certified. I most recently completed my ELDOA 1 and ELDOA 2 certification (classic spine decompression).

Meanwhile, I continue to make my own fitness goals (even through three pregnancies!). I was a school record holder in the pole vault at Virginia Tech, I’ve competed in the Spartan Race World Championships and I’ve run several half marathons and marathons. I’ve also been known to pace a few local road races.

I use all of this education, training and experience to create fitness plans uniquely tailored to each client’s goals and dreams. I know you’re busy, but I know you have BIG DREAMS. I’m here to help you have fun, try new things and discover your untapped potential…but not at the detriment of your own health and/or wellness.

I’m easy to find out in the community. I lead a free run club from Green Brothers Juice (on Park Rd.) every Saturday - all paces welcome - and can often be found sitting in coffee shops in local neighborhoods doing work and chatting with others. My fellow fitness training friends and I regularly host charitable fitness events all over the area that are open to anyone.

I am also proud to be a Sweatnet Charlotte Ambassador and Lululemon Ambassador at the South End Store.

I believe in my community. I believe in the method. I believe in you.
