About Jenn
My Specialty—Understanding My Perspective
Jennifer Schwartz fell in love with strength training at age 16, but suffered multiple knee injuries as a competitive athlete. Because of this, she developed a curiosity for fusing athletics and fitness - eventually moving on to stoke that passion boundlessly. Jennifer spent the last 10 years of her career working holistically with the integrating recovery, fitness and the neuromuscular therapy into her practice. Her passion for the nervous system stemmed from her desire to save it from the degeneration that ALS takes from individuals like her mother, Joan Kelly.
Jennifer achieved her Master of Science in Health Management, is a published author for licensed medical professionals and became the Creator and director of injury prevention and fitness program for Alexandria Soccer Association 2013-2019. Over the years since then, she has helped hundreds of athletes in the studio, on the field and remotely with her virtual educational content with their goals of moving without pain and achieving their fitness goals to their fullest potential.
Now serving her community as the founder of Impact Your Fitness studio in Alexandria, Virginia, Schwartz works with individuals with prior injuries who still dream of moving efficiently. She also shares her expertise virtually with thousands of downloads from loyal, curious listeners of her podcast network, Think Fit Be Fit. Her passion for helping people of all ages learn the most effective methods for developing strength for staying fit provides an accessible method of changing the way we think about exercise for a healthier, stronger world.
