About me
Hi, I'm Jana, founder of STRONG by Jana. My passion for movement started when I was a competitive athlete, where I learned early on the importance of a strong body and mind. This love for strength inspired my journey into coaching, starting at 16 as a gymnastics coach, and led to a degree in Sports and Health in Prevention and Therapy from the German Sport University.
Over the years, I've coached gymnastics and fitness in both Germany and Canada, growing from a small group of gymnasts to managing many clients with diverse needs—ranging from general fitness to injury rehabilitation and mental resilience. I've worked with a variety of amazing clients—from athletes to (neurodivergent) kids and everyday individuals looking to move with confidence and train with purpose.
Through my own athletic career and my work with clients, I've seen firsthand how physical strength fuels mental toughness. With STRONG by Jana, I'm here to guide you on that same journey—helping you become the STRONGest version of yourself, inside and out.
