About Me
My name is Jennifer O'Canas Pena. I am married with 5 children. I am from Danevang but now reside in El Campo and graduated from ECISD in 2006. I am a fairly new personal trainer i just opened my business in 2020 and am excited to share my knowledge and expertise with you!
I have been over weight and very fatigued my whole adult life. I have always had a passion for fitness but had no energy to endure daily life task much less exercise. I always believed what others said about me, that I was just lazy, but a few years ago i found out i had an auto immune disease called Hasimoto which basically makes by body attack my itself. My thyroid glad does not produce enough hormones. Many do not realize your thyroid controls a lot in your body functions. I finally realized all the fatigue, joint stiffness muscle weakness and my rapid weight gain was not in my head but was due to a serious condition. In 2019 I decided to take classes for personal training and nutrition to learn how i could help myself and others that struggle with losing weight due to health issues. In 2020 i finally became a certified nutritionist and personal trainer. Since then I have put everything I have learned in to action for my own health. Since my thyroid doesn't work neither does my metabolism so my journey has been frustrating and slow. I work out 5 to 6 days a week and the scale does not seem to moving but i continue to put in the work and pray God will heal me from this disease. Despite what all the doctors say, " no matter how hard i work out i will not lose weight due to my condition, i will continue to try everything I CAN TO OVERCOME THE IMPOSSIBLE. I know I do not have the perfect trainer body but I can tell you these past couple of years I have overcame my chronic fatigue and I am stronger and my body is more toned then ever before. Oh and I can not forget to mention what everyone teases me about, i have went from a booty as flat as a board to a JLO booty ;) in the making. As i continue my journey i remind myself of them small accomplishments because they will lead me to my final goal!!
With all that being said I want you all to know do not be embarrassed to join 3 in 1 Fitness if anyone knows the struggles of this journey better then anyone it is me! My goal as a personal trainer is to help you archive a healthy mind, body and soul with a judgement free atmosphere. My mission is to reach individuals who struggle with traditional weight loss programs because it is to hard for them to endure.

I also aim to keep trainings small to help you feel more comfortable working out at 3 in 1 Fitness.
