Jenny Schatzle Program

My name is Gary I. I am 51 years old, married with 5 daughters. My wife completed your 6 week program a few months ago. She is the type of person that exercises every day, eats healthy foods, and has been raising our 5 daughters in the healthiest ways possible. Our house is known to our friends as «the house of health». I, on the other hand, still insist on eating whatever I want whenever I want. I have played racquetball for the last 10 years 3 days a week and lucky for me, my weight has not been over 188 for quite some time. I am 5’9″ and except for my larger than I want belly, I have always thought of myself as fit and healthy. After my wife completed your 6 month program I was honestly shocked at how her body had changed. It was trimmer and tighter in all the right places so I decided to put down my racquet and give it a shot myself. I signed up for 6 weeks and went 4 to 5 times a week. The classes were super hard in the beginning. My upper body was very weak and I had a hard time doing any of the exercises that I was asked to do. The first week I was only able to work out 2 times because I was so sore. Looking back that just cracks me up. I had no idea how weak and out of shape I was until that week! Low and behold 6 weeks later I lost 2% of my body fat, 5 inches around my waist and my chest, thighs and arms grew! I also lost a few pounds but my body shape changed so much. It was very noticeable to me and others. My arms were bigger, belly was almost gone and my chest was firm not mush. I was actually able to do all the hardest exercises that I was asked to do. It was an amazing experience for me. I also completed the 2 weeks of not eating any refined sugar because you emailed me the challenge one week. I stopped eating lunch outside the house so my diet changed dramatically. Not because anyone pushed me, threatened me or even asked me to. It was because the way I think about food and my health had changed. I had somehow changed the way I thought about myself and my health. My body looked and felt better than ever. People noticed the changes not only in my body but they said things like «wow you seem so happy, content, and energetic». So my self-​esteem had grown. I was proud of my body and all the hard work I had done to get it the way it was now which is strong and fit. Of course I had to sign up for another 6 weeks which I did and completed last week. There are a few things that I didn’t expect to have to deal with after the entire 12 weeks that are not good at all. Here are some negative things that I have to deal with now that I am not happy about:
1. My jeans do not fit, none of the 4 pair that I have worn for the last 3 years. They are at least 4 inches too big around my waist. Not good.
2. My shorts don’t fit (see complaint above)
3. My drawstring style swimming shorts do not fit, so I cannot pull the drawstring tight enough so they stay on. I had no idea until I dove into a pool last weekend. This was not good lol
4. My belts need holes drilled in them so that I can tighten them enough to keep my extra-​large jeans from falling down. But even then, the extra belt bunches up and looks like I have gun in my waist band. Since I still have my New Jersey accent and attitude, this is really not good.
5. The local restaurants are losing my business, no more taco Tuesdays, Thursday at the Habit, Friday at Petrini’sPizza, Saturday night Mcconnell’s Ice cream. They all hate your program believe me.
Your trainers are all amazing, hopefully they are enjoying the $ 150k per year salary that they deserve so I’m sure that you are making that possible. I love all of them. They pushed me when I needed it and they laughed with me all the time. They are truly incredible every one of them. The class times were always perfect for me, the gym was super clean, organized, music was great, food recipes were excellent, I honestly loved everything about you, your business, your staff, your workouts, your equipment, everything… I wouldn’t change a thing Jenny. I own a small business and I email every customer 9 days after they receive my orders and ask them to tell me what they liked and didn’t like about the purchase they made. It gives them a chance to communicate with the owner directly and I respond to every email I get, usually with «Thank you for taking the time to tell me that we met your expectations».
In closing I want to thank you for changing my life. I will be back for sure and I have told everyone I know about your program. Keep up the good work. Santa Barbara is lucky to have you!!”

I’m in my fourth week of this program and am loving it. I feel stronger, more tone, and more confident that I’ve felt in a long time. Jenny is very inspiring and motivating and tells great stories at the start of her classes. It’s more than just a fitness and nutrition program. It’s a holistic love-​yourself-​and-​change-​your-​life program. It took one or two classes to get used to the high fives and extreme positivity, and then it became infectious. Jenny has created such a great community of positive, happy people that I only wish there was time to get to know everyone better and socialize with them… maybe a Meetup group or something. It’s a fun but tough workout but the class leader always gives three options for each exercise. The trainers do come around to us and correct our form from time to time and they seem to know all of our names as well as our individual fitness level in order to know how much to push us or help us out. I’ve heard people say this is an expensive program, but it’s way less expensive than hiring a personal trainer or paying for a gym membership that I never used. Buying new clothes due to a thinner body is more expensive than the program itself, and most won’t have any issue with that.

I have been very impressed by the workouts that I’ve been apart of here. The energy and tempo is always great and the trainers, staff, and members are all very encouraging. I really like the fact that the trainer to member ratio is high. I felt like I was getting tons of attention on my form, maximizing my results on each and every workout. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to work hard and see results, as well as attention to detail when it comes to their workout plan.

I was a member of this program for over 6 months. It is a great program for someone who is making his or her first steps into a more active lifestyle. The program is insanely expensive, especially since you are paying only for classes (so you are dependent on their schedule and cannot use exercise equipment outside of class times).
Although it is marketed as a program in which you will receive more personal assistance than you would get at a gym, I found that any attention I received was purely superficial (they remembered my name and that is about it). At one of my last weigh-​ins (usually the only time you actually see Jenny if you take afternoon classes), I told her that I felt like I had hit a wall and was finding it hard to keep my energy up. She quickly told me that it was probably my diet. When I told her that I had not changed my diet, she told me she would find me after class and we can discuss what other issues I may have been having. Unfortunately, she never found me and retreated to her office. I assumed that the next time I came in, she would remember me and find a time to talk. I was wrong. When i asked again about it, she clearly did not remember. I was extremely frustrated. I had taken 1 or 2 classes nearly everyday for over 6 months and felt that my concerns were not being taken seriously, especially by someone who claims to care so much about her clients’ health.
Overall, the classes are great and the staff is extremely energetic and positive. As stated above, the program is perfect for someone who is just starting to work out. If you are looking for more personal assistance with your health or strength (especially if you are an active person), I would explore private sessions or personal trainers. Their prices are comparable to this program.

I’m first round, week 5 in! ALL IN! Cannot say enough good things about the program and staff. The energy in there is beyond words. The staff creates such supportive environment! I cannot stress this enough, Jenny isn’t selling you words, or a work out at that, she is giving you a WHOLE NEW OUTLOOK! Healthy mind, healthy body, healthy habits. And I know more of us could use that nowadays. If it ever crossed your mind that it may be something you MIGHT want to try, come in! They offer a free class to try it out. And I promise you won’t be disappointed. I came in looking to get back to the «old» me, and I walk out of there realizing more and more how much I love the new me.

Best workout program! I avoided it because I thought it was too expensive and I live in Carpinteria but so worth it! Wish I would’ve joined sooner. JSP is circuit training, focusing on cardio and weights. Trainers are great motivators. I always get my butt kicked with the 5:45 am crew. In addition, they give us realistic weekly meal plans. Thank you to the JSP team for changing my body and mind. First class is free. Nothing to lose but weight and inches!

I avoided JS like a bad habit thinking group workouts, high fiving and sweating in front of people wasn’t my thing. Turns out, it is EXACTLY my thing. I regret every travel day because I’m missing a class, not because I’m losing money! I feel stronger already – after only 8 classes – and cannot wait to go every day to see what fun hell is in front of me. Don’t walk… run (or jog, or fast-​walk) to JS and sign up. You will never regret it.

I am a 50 year old female– NOT so easy to lose weight at this age. I had heard of this program for a few years. thinking yeah that is not for me– Im not into group workouts, hate going downtown. the rah rah would be too much for me. Well Im on my 7^th week and lets just say I am a FAN. LOVE IT. I am fitting into clothes I have not worn in 4 – 5 years. I lost major inches in areas I needed it– even my upper arms slimmed down which in the past was always hard for me to lose in that area. I love the group workout it is motivating to see all the ages and their energy. no one is judging you and the staff constantly give you tips on proper form and modifications if you cannot do a move. They will even say, if you need to modify a move it does not make you weak it makes you wise– you know your body. The program is bigger than the gym and the workout, it really is getting to love yourself again– even before you lose the weight. You will learn when you love yourself now you treat yourself better– eating better and working out. I have never EVER been addicting to working out — but I am now!

Great combination of community, hard core workouts and inspirational trainers. This program is life changing and perfect for people of all abilities. The varying routine, great music and flexible schedule make this an ideal workout. Don’t have enough amazing and positive things to say about Jenny Schatzle and her program.

My husband and I are in our sixties and we get up 5 days a week to work out in JS Program. I was so afraid to try it and put it off for years. I am so glad I finally stepped in there thanks to nudging from a friend. Jenny and her whole staff are amazing.
Whatever your age, size or fitness level you can do this and you will LOVE it,”

I’m from out of town and stumbled on this amazing place. Jenny is so much FUN and inspiring. If I lived here I would FOR SURE join. Keep up the great work. Whenever I come back to SB I’ll be attending a class. Thanks!!!

Jenny’s program has taught me a different way to approach working out. I always felt like going to the gym was a punishment but it’s not. It’s a time in which you learn just how strong you are and you’re actually doing a great thing for your body.
Whenever a new person turns to me after their first workout and asks,“Does it get any easier?!?” I always say,“No. But YOU get stronger.“
I can’t say enough about her staff. Shem, Beth, and Chito rock my world! It never matters who is teaching the class as I love all of them!
Only join the Jenny Schatzle Program if you want to see results and want to discover how much of a bad-​ass you are!

I am in my forth month working out with Jenny and still in love! The workouts are hard, and sweaty, and FUN. The trainers consistently help with form and encouragement. The music is loud and the pace is fast… no time to get bored in these workouts! It is perfect for all levels, as there are several modifications for each station. Jenny has the MOST positive messages and energy. All of the trainers know and call me by my name. Comrade with our work out buddies is encouraged with «high fives» and telling each other «Good job!»
I think I am in workout heaven… I highly recommend The Jenny Schatzle Program!

I am not a regular boot camper type of person, I find myself more on the «ill go to the gym tomorrow» type of guy, but Jenny’s program oh man its amazing! Jenny does a great job motivating you and makes you feel like you can do it. I went to my first class and had a blast.
If you are looking for a program that’ll get you in shape and you’ll be smiling the whole time, head on over to Jenny Schatzle, you won’t be disappointed

Probably the best fitness program on planet earth (or at least in Santa Barbara and surrounding areas lol) Seriously if you want a life changing experience, Jenny Schatzle and team deliver. Don’t make excuses — Give this a try– you owe it to YOURSELF!

If there was an Energy Drink bottled in Santa Barbara it would have Jenny Schatzle’s picture on it.
If there was a Hot-​Line for people who really wanted to:
Get off their couch
Get their workout program dialed up a few hundred notches,
Get weaned off their depression meds,
Dial up their veggie and fruit intake
Get a dose of «If not Now, When?» and «You Matter!» and You Can do It– And «I will help You! « – Pep Talk, you would want Jenny Schatzle to be on the voice on the other end of the line
Why? Because she lives, eats and breathes — Wellness on High (volume), she comes from a place of empathy and love — because she too is still open to learning and growing.
Thanks Jenny.
PS if you come to a class– Show up 5minutes early, be prepared to sweat (They have towels). Bring a water bottle. Pick up her nutritionist’s food suggestions.
