Hi, I'm Jan

It all starts with a smile.  Did reading that make your lips curl upward?  I hope so, as that’s my main goal at Get Lively®: Health & Fitness. When you are smiling and feeling good about your life, all the other stuff seems to fall into place.

As a personal trainer, group fitness instructor, and health coach, I’m on a mission to help you smile more.

But let me give you a little back story on how this all began…

My passion for health and fitness traces back to the 1980s as a young girl jumping along to Jane Fonda videos and begging my mom to wear the gray Flashdance sweatshirt with the cut-off neck, but my “work life” initially had different plans.

I went on to pursue a degree in theatre at Roger Williams University and then spent the majority of my career at Simmons College, where I received a Master’s degree in Communications Management and worked in event planning and fundraising.

But then the health and fitness bug started chasing me, or as I like to say, the return of the gray, cut-off neck sweatshirt.

We’ll keep this story short and sweet, but my love for health and fitness – and a desire to help others feel the same – led me to establish Get Lively®: Health & Fitness in the summer of 2014.

Offering small group training, personal training, and a variety of virtual health coaching programs, I’ve got what you need if you are looking for some FUN!  Because, as my students and clients often hear me say: “If it’s not fun, what’s the point!”

In case you are wondering, I hold the following credentials:

And yes, I now proudly wear that gray Flashdance sweatshirt as my uniform.
