JENNY BURKHOLDER
Jenny is a native of Richmond who is a self-proclaimed Dance Trance addict. She says she's been hooked since her first class in January of 2012. "I prefer for my workouts to not feel like I’m actually working out. When I dance, I don’t watch the clock, I don’t think about work and other things stressing me out, I just have fun. And when I’m done, I’m dripping in sweat so I know I did something good for myself!"
Her favorite thing about teaching? "Every time a class member praises me for a play list I do an internal fist pump because I’m putting that much thought and care into what I’m doing every time I come on the floor to lead a class. I know what a struggle it is to motivate to work out! So when all is said and done, I want my class to be the best part of their day so that next time the struggle isn’t quite as hard as the time before."

Birthday: March 3, (Pisces in the house!)
What do you love to do outside of TURN? I’m a University of Richmond grad and love attending events where I can show my Spider pride! I’m a season ticket holder for both football and basketball and try to go to as many alumni events each year as I can squeeze in.
Favorite food or drink? My favorite drink is wine, as stated above! I appreciate all wine and love most of it, but my absolute favorite varietal is Pinot Noir. My favorite food, is probably Filet Mignon, served medium rare. I love food, so picking one is very tough, but it doesn’t get much better than a great steak paired with a nice glass of red wine.
Favorite dance move? I like to pop and I’ve gotten to be pretty good at it if I do say so myself! LOL And it doesn’t matter what part of the body I’m poppin’- I like chest pops, booty pops, shoulder pops- you name it and I’ll at least try to pop it!
Fitness inspiration? The amazing people who stand beside me and behind me when I’m on that dance floor. Everyone I encounter at TURN inspires me to dance better, instruct better and just be better.
Favorite inspirational quote? Fake it until you make it! Act as if you had all the confidence you require until it becomes your reality. – Brian Tracy
Favorite workout song? Where do I begin!? I’m not sure I can pick just one- there are so many songs I love to dance to! If I were to narrow it down, my favorites are always the ones we sing to- Booty Wurk, Something for the DJ’s and Little Bad Girl just to name a few.
