Jen Hendershott has become one of the most highly sought after experts in the areas of health, fitness and reaching of ones peak potential. While she has claimed some of the most prestigious titles in the world of women's fitness including winning both Ms. Fitness Olympia and the Fitness International Crown. Hendershott believes that while trophies are nice, changing someone's life has proven to be much more rewarding. However success has not always come this easily to Hendershott. In high school, Jen had a guidance counselor that tried to talk her out of going to college. "He told me "people like me" did not succeed in college. I probably wouldn't get into college anyway. My guidance counselor was not trying to be a jerk. He was trying to be honest. I barely graduated high school with a 1.9 GPA," she added. Hendershott turned this negative comment into a newfound source of motivation "I knew that I could succeed at anything that I committed myself to. I knew that I just needed to identify some new habits and practice them until I achieved my goals," she added. This strategy paid off, Hendershott later went on to graduate from Ohio State University with a degree in Education and a Bachelors Plus degree in elementary education. Today, based on this experience Hendershott believes that with some determination anyone can regain control over both emotional and physical challenges in their lives regardless of circumstances. She has now combined her 12 years of expertise she has accumulated as a health and fitness professional with her passion for teaching outside of a "normal" classroom atmosphere. Hendershott has created her own classroom through her Phat Camp Tour, a series of fitness boot camps that she teaches in over 20 cities both nationally and internationally over the course of a weekend each year. In addition she has written a bestselling book called "The Curvelle Lifestyle, 9 Weeks to Slimmer Thighs, Tighter Buttocks, and Sexier Curves".
