Personal Training

 I had the opportunity to be coached by Jennifer at the world championships in 2019. She expertly handled my warmup and competition attempts and I had an incredible meet! I’ve competed for many years nationally and internationally and been handled by many different coaches. Jennifer is definitely my go-to next time I need a meet coach. 

 As a busy homeschooling mama of 3, I needed Jennifer to customize workout plans for me to complete in tiny pockets of time at the gym. She provided nutritional support as well. I have never felt stronger than when I used her plans. But the best thing about her is that she really cares about your success. 

 George Halas was asked, “What makes a good coach?” – His answer- “complete dedication.” There is a reason I drive an hour to meet with Jennifer Perrier for coaching. She gives me complete dedication. I always come out of our sessions together, exhausted, inspired and a better athlete. She gives 100% of herself to her lifting and to her coaching. She is a champion lifter, with twelve years of competitive experience under her belt. Time with Jennifer is a crucial part of my training. 

 As a new CrossFitter I wanted to find someone with the expertise to teach me the fundamentals so that I could start with a solid base before ingraining potentially bad habits. In searching for such a class I found a short seminar being offered at Nashville Weightlifting Club on one piece of the snatch (getting under the bar). Admittedly, I wasn’t familiar with the club or, embarrassingly enough, the coach but the small (capped) class size sold me on making the 3 hour drive. Once I signed up and found out that the instructor would be a 4x Gold medalist (Jennifer Perrier) I was afraid that I would be too new to benefit from such a world class athlete. Jennifer immediately put my (and everyone else’s) mind at ease with her calm confidence and humble expertise. Jennifer had everyone warm up on their own as she surveyed each person’s abilities. After a few minutes she had cues for everyone (all different skill levels were represented) and moved us into 90 minutes of snatch drops and snatch balance work. The level of instruction was simply phenomenal!   Jennifer watched each athlete, one at a time, on every lift so if an elbow was flared even a few degrees, she was on it! In 90 short minutes I received what would have been a year’s worth of group class instruction and progressed leaps and bounds from simple, understandable, practical, and direct cues. I would highly recommend Jennifer’s classes for any athlete wanting to progress in weightlifting, regardless of current level of skill.
