Hi! This is a little long but I wanted to post to:
1. Share my home gym that I am very lucky to have (my dad found the treadmill in someone’s trash)!! It’s new so I can’t wait to continue to grow it 🥰
2. I’m feeling compelled to share what I’ve been going thru lately because maybe someone can relate!!!
In May I was having upper back/shoulder/neck pain that seemed to be caused by the temporary bed I had to sleep in. I couldn’t pinpoint what exactly was wrong and so for months when I thought it was getting better I would try to do my get salty sessions and lift weights and then it would be worse so I would have to take a break and I was stuck in this cycle. Luckily, yoga actually helped the pain so I was able to stay active but essentially was doing no weight training. It wasn’t until August that I finally decided to a see a chiropractor and found out I had a pinched nerve in my back. So that took about a month to fix and then slowly get back into my old workout routine (wasn’t successfully able to do this until September/October). By that time I was having some hormonal issues - irregular cycle, increased anxiety and depression. I then saw a PCP to make sure everything was ok (it was). Now that I’m back to my get salty workouts and lifting heavy I have made such a 180. Jenny talking about how important it is for us to lift heavy and just show up is SO TRUE. I don’t have much other explanation for how I feel so much better (but I did start therapy too 😉). Hope everyone has a salty weekend!! 🧂
🚨Coming Feb 2025: New Name, New Brand, same old SALT!!!!
Nothing will change for you. This app has evolved from a fun catalogue of random fitness sessions to a very serious training program with metabolic benefits…SALT TRAINING APP
Use this thread to chat!
The 12-week GRIND SERIES works best when others share, commiserate, vibe, and celebrate one another! Accountability is not an individual sport, athlete! (And those that engage will get personal shoutouts during the live sessions! 🥳)
SPEAKING GRATITUDE INTO THE WORLD:
I received a message today from one of my 3+ year athletes. Dr. Kathleen Hosmer is an amazing woman and her words hit me hard today. I’ve been so elated and full of joy since her message of appreciation. But the part that hit me hardest was that she was thankful that I decided to continue coaching through Get Salty. God truly knows my struggles in the first 2.5 years with this app. Working 2 jobs, putting so much time into this app, guilt from taking time from my family to work on a business that wasn’t providing an income that reflected that sacrifice. I re-upped my 2nd year contract and the next day called my developer to beg them to let me get out of it. The regret was incredible, how could I go on like this burning a candle at both ends for a dream that I wasn’t sure anyone else believed in but me: virtual training in a style of a functional personal trainer that can actually help heal others and create new relationships with their fitness. God apparently had a bigger view of my future. I was locked in to a contract, so I was locked in to delivering the best training possible. Eventually, by listening to my ride or dies, I responded with the Grind 2024 last January. Since then I’ve found my purpose, my style, my clientele: badass athletes and potential athletes that want to actually become healthier and stronger, that want more out of working out…they want to actually grind and adapt.
Thank you to every single athlete that has supported me in the past and thank you to the newer athletes for taking a chance on me, investing your money, you time, your attention, and your future health and longevity on me.
I promise, I will not let you down. Please, whatever you do this year, don’t quit on YOU. We are in this together.
Stay salty and keep grinding. 🧂🩷💪🏽
-Coach Jenny

Failure is for winners…
I started last week off strong and then WHAM, got hit so hard with Covid. Knocked me down, but it did not knock me out! Right back to it! Week 3 let’s gooo!! 💪🏼
Yall - tonight my husband said “wow! Look at those traps! You are looking strong and beefy”
All said in such a loving way and this was the best compliment I’ve had all year. Thanks Jenny and Get Salty for reshaping my strength and health 🤩 🩷
That was a great cardio session!! Worked 50 hours at the hospital this week and got all sessions but one done, will do that one tomorrow💪💪 No excuses🔥🔥
