On Helping Women Take Charge of Post-40s Weight Gain

Jenn Labonte is a mom to Lexi (23) and Jacob (19) and married to Bill. She is a certified Personal and Group Trainer and initially operated a thriving outdoor boot camp for women.

Shortly after turning 40, physically she felt like things were starting to fall apart. after being diagnosed with osteoarthritis that was causing extreme knee pain. Adding on was a torn rotator cuff and bursitis in the foot. She took charge of her body using her 20+ years of training experience with her own personal physical and emotional challenges after turning 40 which led to the creation of the Jenn Lab Fit, a women’s fitness, and mobility program. Jenn Labonte today is out to help women safely take control of post-’40s, the 50s, 60s, and beyond weight gain, build strength, and stay injury free so they can feel confident, consistently motivated, and beautiful in their own skin.

Namita Nayyar catches up with Jenn Labonte, to talk about her fitness routine, diet, and the app.

Being a mother, fitness trainer, and professional. Share insight into your fitness journey and what motivated you to choose this as a career. 

I received my first fitness certification when I was 22 years old. It was a group training certification that I sought out to fill the place of the many years of dance team I did through high school and college. I was familiar with the weight room but I’ve always been motivated and inspired by the individuals working together at the same time toward a common goal. Years later I received my personal training certification and finally my favorite, a boot camp certification which led to me opening up my own outdoor boot camp for women and now an online community training program for women over forty.
