Who Are The Fitgirls?
Jenny and Carly are a mother-daughter team who have an enormous passion for health and fitness. Both qualified personal trainers and group fitness coaches, Carly also holds a Certificate in Nutrition. But it isn’t just the qualifications that set Carly and Jenny apart, it is their own personal, real-life experiences, and the battles that they have faced to achieve their own health and fitness goals.
Both Jenny and Carly are fully qualified personal trainers (Fitnation accredited Cert III & IV), and Carly has a Certificate III in Nutrition. Jenny was runner-up in the Sportzblitz Bodyblitz Challenge and Carly has maintained an 11kg weight loss for over 7 years.
In November 2006, Jenny was diagnosed with breast cancer after a routine mammogram. This marked a massive turning point in her life, and suddenly things that perhaps weren’t so important before, became critical as she took on the fight for wellness. Her health, her family and her happiness were things once taken for granted, but not anymore. Upon recovery, it was with absolute resolution that Jenny started changing her life…. for the better. In 12 weeks she lost 10 kgs of fat, and gained muscle and strength. But that’s not all she gained. Jenny started feeling fantastic, living with energy and vigour, and helping others who wanted to know ‘how she did it’.
How Did Jenny Do It?
By taking on an eating plan that was healthy, balanced, and supportive of her strength and cardio training. She didn’t spend hours in a gym, and she certainly didn’t stop eating. Her approach was different to most weight loss programs. She didn’t want to ‘get skinny’, but she did want ultimate health, and prevention of the disease from ever returning to her body.
Today Jenny is helping others to do the same thing. Breast cancer is so rampant among women, and whilst some factors are out of our control, our diet and our fitness is not. So Jenny’s message is to control what you can and reap the rewards of a long and healthy life.
Carly is Jenny’s eldest daughter. At 30 years old, Carly is a self-described nutrition obsessed, fitness fanatic. She grew up unhappy with her weight, but it was only when Carly saw her 21st birthday photos that she really made the decision to change her life. Carly is now 11kg lighter than she was at age 21, and in the last few years has really refined her eating and exercise habits to become the very best (and healthiest) that she can be. Carly realises that disease prevention is better than cure, and with a family history of breast cancer, fights for her ongoing wellness every day by living a healthy lifestyle.
