Hi! I’m Jenn!

I am so excited you are here and can’t wait to have you get to know me a bit better!

I was born and raised in the DC area and have been passionate about health and fitness for as long as I can remember. I grew up actively participating in sports, from dance to a bit of soccer and landing my passion in field hockey. I played field hockey at Ursinus College in Collegeville, PA, helping to lead my team to three Centennial Conference Championships and three NCAA Division III Final Four appearances.

Immediately after college I became a preschool teacher but knew that I couldn’t leave my love for field hockey and fitness aside. I’ve been coaching varsity high school field hockey in DC since 2013.

After a few years of teaching, my passion for health and fitness continued to grow and I decided to obtain my personal training certification through NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine). In 2017, switched careers from teaching to fitness and started a job as a Fitness Coach at local boutique fitness studio in DC, where I was quickly promoted to Head Coach.

As I continued to grow in this field, I knew that I wanted to expand my knowledge bank of the industry as much as possible. I’ve participated in TRX Suspension Training and Functional Training courses and am Precision Nutrition Level 1 Certified.

I have since branched off and created Pappas Fitness, LLC, specializing in Online Personal Training and Online Nutrition Coaching. I am using my knowledge of fitness and growing knowledge of nutrition to help individuals create habits that will lead towards a healthy lifestyle. To say I love working in the fitness industry would be an understatement. It has been the best career choice I have made.
