Golden's premier functional training facility
Jenn brings energy and positive vibes to her classes and private training sessions and likes nothing better than to see her clients crush their goals and realize their full potential. And if you’ve experienced one of her classes, you likely felt the ‘burn’ with Jennifer Burns! Her philosophy, and that of BASE, is that sport and movement are for everyone and she looks forward to seeing the positive effects spill into all aspects of her client’s lives. A longtime resident of Golden, BC, Jenn’s goal is to build a strong fitness community and in her free time, you’re likely to see her hanging out with her family skiing or wake surfing or chauffeuring her three kids around town.
