Jenna Lodin
Jenna’s background is in teaching, specifically at the middle school level. After leaving her former profession she fell in love with CrossFit and decided to mesh those two passions together. She began coaching CrossFit classes along with creating CrossFit Kids and Teens programs at different gyms in San Diego. Having the opportunity to coach adults and getting kids and teens get excited about fitness (and then seeing the incredible positive impact on their mental and emotional health) is one of her greatest joys.
When she’s not in the gym you can find her at the beach, going on family walks and hikes, baking up a storm in the kitchen, or taking care of Ginger Hill Homestead.
