Warrior workouts with fitness trainer Jennifer Cassetta in Los Angeles

”I work with over-stressed and over-worked people who have put their health on the side while trying to take care of everyone and everything else in their lives.”

Well, that sounds like all of us can benefit from her expertise.

Jennifer Cassetta is a certified personal trainer, clinical nutritionist, and 3rd degree martial arts instructor  based in Los Angeles. Dedication to health and fitness runs in Jennifer’s family where her father and grandmother also practiced martial arts. Jennifer spent 10 years training and teaching HapKiDo, a holistic Korean martial art which combines mind, body, and spiritual training, at the World Martial Arts Center in NYC.

Jennifer started her fitness and nutrition business in New York and named it “Health and the City” . However, soon, she ran  into legal dispute with HBO. HBO, claiming her business name was similar to ‘Sex and the City’, asked her to drop the name. Jennifer stayed firm and eventually, after battling for a while, HBO backed down. Apparently, HBO found out that a real fight is not as easy as unilaterally hiking the cable fee.

Towards the end of 2009, Jennifer moved to California and, currently, operates her personal training and nutrition business from Brentwood area of West Los Angeles. Here is a summary of her exceptional abilities:

- Certified Personal Trainer, National Academy of Sports Medicine
- Third Degree Black Belt Instructor, HapKiDo
- Black belt in VSK Jujitsu
- Master's degree in nutrition
- Holistic health education from New York's Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
- Creator of the popular Stilettos and Self Defense™ workshop, which is designed for women of all ages to teach them basic self defense and help gain confidence.
- Creator of, 3 part DVD, self-defense series “About Homeland Defense”,
- In summary, this fitness instructor, Jennifer Cassetta, is a formidable package of beauty, brain and physical abilities.

How are the workouts?
“Jennifer's Warrior Boot Camp is not just a great workout opportunity. It is a lifestyle commitment that goes beyond sweating…I feel stronger and smarter about my health.”

Jennifer's unique whole-body approach to health is a blend of her extensive training in HapKiDo, fitness and nutrition. You will get an invigorating kickboxing cardio workout, yoga-like stretching, core strength training and you might even learn self defense techniques. It can improve your flexibility, alleviate stress, enhance your focus,  help you lose weight and develop a lean body. Additionally, you will also benefit from Ki training to support your life force energy.

Folks, you cannot get such a capable trainer and this kind of workout by only rolling your butt on top of a giant exercise balloon and, you can trust me on that because I have a big butt.
