Meet iFIT Trainer Heather Jenson

Born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, Heather Jenson is a fitness instructor and lover of Ironman and marathon events. Since running her first marathon in 2008, she’s completed 18 marathons and 7 Ironman races. Heather also teaches fitness classes, including HIIT Spin, Pump, Power Yoga, and Pilates. She loves to golf, ski, and watch movies with her husband and three children in her free time. Something you may not know about Heather? She graduated from Dixie State University with a bachelor’s degree in music, so she also teaches flute and guitar lessons!

As always, we encourage you to ride at your own pace. After finishing the Golden Gran Fondo, you’ll receive your digital reward in your Trophy Case.

The Live Golden Gran Fondo will be posted in the iFIT Library a few days after the event, so you can revisit this exciting bike ride to log a new PR or simply take in the breathtaking views of the Rockies.
