The PUSH Podcast Season 2 Episode 18: From "Trainer" to Trainer with Jen Borruso of Anchor Fit Club

“Fitness has no shape, fitness has no size, no gender, no age, nothing. It is for everybody.” - Jen Borruso of Anchor Fit Club

Like many of us in the fitness industry, Jen started her fitness career with a company that claims to be “all about health”, but really isn’t.

In this episode we talk with Jen Borruso of Anchor Fit Club about her journey from a very unsatisfying experience with a fitness company designed to prey on people’s insecurities to where she is today.

Jen is raw, honest and an all around good human. Check out our interview with Jen in our latest episode!
