Biography

Jen Ungar is an Aerobics Fitness Association of America (AFAA) Certified Group Fitness Instructor and Certified Personal Trainer. She is excited at the prospect of teaching for Fit Bodies Inc.!

Jen grew up in Massachusetts where her love for fitness and movement really began.  In her teen years, she was active in a variety of ways:  ballroom dancing, cheerleading, track and field, and gymnastics.  Her love for group exercise began in the late 80’s when she attended classes at a small fitness club in the building where she worked.  She loved it so much that she began teaching step aerobic classes during her lunch break.  After she was married, she moved to New Jersey and she and her husband, Bob, started a family.  She left her career to be a full time Mom but still had a longing for teaching exercise.

That is when she decided to get more serious and take her passion to the next level.  She studied for many hours and attended AFAAs certification program where she earned her Group Exercise Certification.  Eight months later and many more hours of studying later, she attended AFAAs Personal Trainer Certification Course and obtained that certification as well.  Jen also has additional certifications in Phi Pilates Mat I and Turbo Kick (cardio kickboxing).  Jen stays current in her certifications by attending fitness conferences (ECA and DCAC) and also an abundance of self-study.  It is her passion, after all, and she LOVES to continue learning and growing in the field.

Jen loves to share her knowledge and excitement about exercise.  She truly enjoys her job motivating clients of all fitness levels.  She firmly believes that exercise is essential to health and wellness and would be delighted to work with you!
