We had the good fortune of connecting with Jen Coker and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jen, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
The most important factor in the success of my brand is creating relationships & trust with my clients. I want their time with me to be one of the best hours of their day. They need to feel empowered, supported, encouraged, and cared for. They may not necessarily love the actual workout, but I hope they enjoy spending time with me and most importantly how accomplished they feel when they are finished!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’m a Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach. I coach individuals, couples, small groups, large groups…a little bit of everything! For me fitness and helping others is not just a job…it’s a way of life and absolutely my passion. I do it because I truly care about seeing people get stronger, more fit, faster, healthier, and most importantly happier and more confident. I don’t just focus on working out….I stress the importance of having a healthy relationship with food, solid sleep habits, powerful and meaningful relationships, a positive mindset, and taking care of ourselves from the inside out. Being a trainer and coach isn’t easy because I can’t force people to want to change. I can’t do the work for them. I can guide them, support them, coach them, and encourage them…but ultimately it’s up to them to do the work. This is why it’s so important to build strong relationships with my clients so that they trust me and my ability to help them. They may not be super happy or excited to actually do the work at the time, but they certainly will feel better after.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
The gym! Haha. We would definitely be getting some workouts in! But other than that, I would want to spend as much time outside as possible….exploring downtown Mckinney, hiking at Erwin Park, the shops at Legacy West, Klyde Warren Park, and lots of patio time!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My family is my why. Not only is my husband my #1 supporter, but he believes in my passion and encourages me to have faith in what I have to offer others. My girls drive me to be better every single day. I want to show them how important a strong & hard work ethic is and I also want them to value physical activity and taking care of their mind & body.
