Meet Jane Jennings
As a health and fitness professional for over 30 years, Jane teaches evidence‑based strategies in healthy eating, exercise, and behavior change so individuals can create healthier lifestyles and achieve controlled, sustainable weight.

Her Master’s degree in Health Psychology grounds her approach in behavioral theory, emphasizing exercise adherence, healthy eating, incremental goal progress, and the development of self‑regulatory skills. She uses personally tailored approaches that consider emotions, stress, body image, and self‑talk as essential components of long‑term habit formation.

In her early association with Rutgers University, she collaborated with Dr. James Annesi on research examining how group cohesion, self‑efficacy, and mood influence exercise and eating behaviors. Their more recent research collaborations were on psychological predictors of controlled eating. She also contributed to the longitudinal Women’s Health Initiative and has applied translational behavioral‑medicine approaches across numerous fitness, medical, and health‑promotion centers, including Englewood Health Medical Center and Spectrum for Living. She has presented health and fitness seminars on weight management, youth development, and ACE‑tailored pre‑certification programs.

Her ongoing focus is to provide individuals with the tools, skills, and evidence‑based methods needed to develop and maintain healthier habits that actually fit your real life. Informed by the most current research findings in behavioral, medical, and exercise science, her approach is personable, practical, and rooted in small changes that add up to big results!

Jane's Philosophy
I believe everyone has the potential to live a healthy, fulfilling life. Through smarter goals, better habits, empowered self-talk, and belief in their own ability to change, my clients achieve sustainable weight management, improved well-being, and a life they truly love living. 
"Put your mind to it—and do it!"
Meet Dr. James Annesi
Dr. James Annesi is a leading health behavior-change researcher, and Research Associate with ICF International for the National Cancer Institute’s Evidence-Based Cancer Control Programs. He also serves as Adjunct Research Professor at California State University, Monterey Bay. Formerly a professor at University of Alabama at Birmingham’s School of Health Professions, Dr. Annesi has held research and clinical roles across institutions including Rutgers University, Kennesaw State University, the VA Health Care System, and the YMCA.

An elected fellow of the American Academy of Health Behavior, The Obesity Society, and American Psychological Association’s divisions of Health Psychology, Behavior Analysis, and Exercise/Sport/Performance Psychology, Dr. Annesi has authored 260+ peer-reviewed publications and four books on exercise adherence, emotional eating, self-regulation, and weight management. The National Institutes of Health/National Cancer Institute identified his group of interventions as being the most by any single researcher or research group in the areas of “diet/nutrition,” “obesity,” and “physical activity.” They have been implemented across the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Asia; supporting populations with obesity, diabetes, cancer recovery, and more.

Dr. Annesi is recognized among the top 0.5% of researchers globally for his research productivity, receiving the American Psychological Association’s Excellence in Clinical Health Psychology Award in 2019. His applied research has shaped scalable, evidence-based, and easily implemented protocols for physical activity, weight reduction, and mental health – now again in collaboration with Jane Jennings.

Dr. Jim's Philosophy
I believe that, while changes in health behaviors can be challenging to maintain, they can be facilitated by the use of the best available behavioral science - much of which my own research helped develop. Rather than blame you for not having enough "willpower" or "volition," we can empower you with some easily learned and applied self-management skills to enable your sustained success. 
"I look forward to the chance to empower your success."
