Meet Trailblazer Jennifer Riscossa

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jennifer Riscossa.

Jennifer, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I started fitness training in high school and have been training ever since!! I have taught everything in my last 25 years of personal training. After being told by a doctor, I need to slow a little, I fell into pilates. It was a lil slow for me, so I developed my own cardio pilates routines and it’s where I have found the most success. I love doing post-rehab rehabilitation work as I’m certified as a post-rehab exercise specialist. It’s very rewarding to help my clients achieve a healthy lifestyle. I’m a fitness trainer who believes in improving everything I possibly can to help my clients especially their core and balance!

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Fitness training and being a personal trainer is so much fun and rewarding. The clients that came into my life through training have become great friends and some even like family. But it can come with some challenges, I tell anyone that I know starting out in the business to make sure you find a specialty in your fitness training. I choose as my specialty cardio pilates and became certified as a post-rehab exercise specialist. I believe this to be true in any form of work. Make sure you bring something special to the table.

Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Jennpilates – what should we know?
I specialize in cardio Pilates. I offer Trx, spin, aerobics, bosu, ballet bar, cardio fitness training just to mention a few! I’m certified as a post-rehab exercise specialist and offer post-rehab exercise rehabilitation.

We’re interested to hear your thoughts on female leadership – in particular, what do you feel are the biggest barriers or obstacles?
I like to believe that women have taken great strides in leadership. What I always stress is to believe in yourself, if you don’t, no one will!
