"On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I start my day with Jen Cavallaro. Do I like working out? Not particularly.
Do I laugh, winge, and whine? Absolutely. That’s what’s great about classes via Zoom. You can mute yourself.
But I know that Jen will check in if I don’t show up or text. And I’ll miss catching up with a small group of friends that also show up from coast to coast.
There’s something about the ritual of spending time doing the same thing that brings a sense of togetherness or belonging (even in shared struggles) that I never thought I would get in a workout class.
While I’m action-oriented, I’m learning the benefits of slow, iterative growth. More weight. More reps. More strength intentionally built over time.
When I miss a workout I feel it. When I get a few good weeks in my body loves it. I feel more confident and ready to take on life’s challenges.
That’s what I love about the name of her company: Upward Spiral Fitness. We can choose to make excuses or we can make time to keep pushing forward.
If you ever want to try a class, reach out to Jen Cavallaro."

"Working with Jen has led to major increases in my strength, cardio fitness, and overall physical health.
She gave me confidence that I'm strong and capable, improved my quality of life, and increased my interest in living an active life. She pushes you in a supportive way and is really adept at staying focused even when you are whining.
She knew way better than I did what I was capable of. Jen is very knowledgeable about her craft and is great at explaining exercises to you and correcting your form. Jen is a great trainer for females in a comfortable and non-judgmental environment.
She never makes you feel inadequate or weak. She is able to work around your schedule. The gym has plenty of room and is always sparkling clean. She is very inventive in coming up with new ways to challenge you. She keeps meticulous notes about each workout and provides a very individual and customized workout program.
She never gets annoyed or impatient with you. I highly recommend Jen to anyone looking for an experienced fitness professional."

“I worked with Jen Cavallaro for 6 months. She was my trainer, coach, my nutrition advisor, my encourager, my educator, and my motivation for an awesome journey into fitness.
I lost 35 pounds and no longer have any back pain!
I feel strong and healthy with increased energy and a far more positive outlook on life.
She tailored the work-outs to my needs and goals, always kept them fresh and varied, and adapted them when I hurt my shoulder 4 months into the program.
She set a perfect balance between letting me choose the pace and pushing me “ruthlessly.”
Jen gave me the tools for a life-long change in my habits toward fitness, and I will always be grateful. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
