Jennifer Pabon
I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, but currently reside in Tampa,
Florida! As you can assume, I love the beach and nice weather! Being
active outside is one of my favorite things. I also have practiced a
variety of Mixed Martial Arts including Muay Thai and Taekwondo since I was about 12 years old! I hold certifications in nutrition and diet
therapy.
My goal for you is to make healthy living an EASY part of your life. To
take the “stress” out of it and FINALLY feel and see results, without
feeling restricted. I don’t want you to see this as another diet and
exercise plan, rather, I want this to be your new lifestyle. You have
taken the first step, so let’s see where having a custom plan, being
consistent and working on small changes will take you. I know you can do it!
