According to a personal trainer at Lifetime Fitness, Jennifer "was very active here at lifetime. She did personal training, nutrition coaching, Pilates and 60 day challenges. She always gave her best effort and probably knew the 60 day challenge better than most of our trainers. I know she took her work/career very seriously and was always trying to reach high levels. She also discovered some Tony Robbins seminars and material and was very passionate about those programs. She was in the middle of trying to be an entrepreneur for herself and help as many people as she could. She was very passionate about personal growth and leadership and excelling to the best of her ability."
