Jenna Doak (she/her) co-founded Body Positive Fitness after working in toxic fitness culture since age 14. She intentionally created a body liberation space that returns the power back to her class participants and changes the way we think about and move our bodies. Sophia went to several virtual classes and felt more at home in her body than she has in years…except she kept her video off. Jenna helps Sophia figure out why.

Jenna Doak (she/her) is the co-owner & head trainer at Body Positive Fitness. She has been a fitness trainer for over 15 years, and after healing her own disordered relationship with fitness, food & her body, she now teaches others how to do the same while providing a safe fitness environment for all. Body Positive Fitness has a robust team of instructors and trainers and offers both in-person and virtual classes and personal sessions.

Jenna is offering listeners of the Fat Joy podcast 50% off the drop-in rate with a $45 Flexible 5 Class Pass. Promo code: JOY45. (Price is in Canadian dollars, which is approximately $35 USD) Thank you, Jenna!!!
