Jenifer Besten relocated from Chicago, IL where she worked as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor for World Gym. She received her personal training certification from International Sports Science Association and her running certification through USA Track and Field. Jenifer is a competitive runner who has placed in many races and qualified for the Boston Marathon a total of 10 times. This past fall she placed in the Steamtown Marathon, the Baltimore half marathon & ran the New York City Marathon.
Jen’s specialty is in Competitive Running. She works closely with her coaching clients to help develop their individual running goals. She believes runners must cross-train and do sport-specific exercises to help prevent injury, especially as they get older. Jenifer has coached many clients from beginner to Boston qualifiers. Her focus is on working with the athlete to develop an individualized plan that fits into the person’s life and results in running success.
Jenifer graduated from East Stroudsburg University. Prior to working in the fitness industry, she worked for six years in the advertising field and four years in legal real estate. Now a mother of three, she devotes her time to school, coaching & trains for the Boston Marathon.
