Jen first found her drive for physical activity when she was 8 years old and she fell off her bike. She was dumped from her bike into the canal, unable to swim and saved by a jogger who happened to be passing. Soon after, she started swimming lessons. Soon after that, her innate talent was spotted and rewarded with a spot on the swimming team. During swim training they often undertook some ‘land training’ and, sure enough, during land training, she realised something. She wasn’t just a good swimmer, she had triathlete potential. That potential led to her representing Scotland in under 18s at 15 years old.  After falling out of love with triathlons, Jennifer found herself doing some weight training, something to do.

Humility. After discovering CrossFit and realising she enjoyed the competitive nature of the methodology and the plentiful opportunities to compete outside of her own gym, she was hooked In 2 years Jennifer went from 246th fitted in the uk in 2021 to fittest in the uk in 2023.  She placed 16th across the whole of Europe and setting a new world record in one of the workouts.  She was aged 23.
