Jenny Anania, founder of Secret Physique®, has been passionate about fitness and dance from a young age, growing up dancing alongside her two older sisters. She earned a Bachelor's Degree in Exercise Science with a minor in Business from Bridgewater State University before taking on the exciting role of a New England Patriots Cheerleader. One of her proudest moments was cheering on the sidelines at Super Bowl XXXVI.
Jenny's journey in fitness continued as she transitioned into modeling and the fitness industry while cheering for the Patriots. She then moved to Los Angeles to pursue her dance career and embrace the Hollywood lifestyle. There, she joined the Purrfect Angelz, a performance dance group, which gave her the opportunity to perform nationwide at various events, including trade shows, sporting events, music videos, commercials, and charitable functions. Jenny also managed the world-famous Viper Room on Sunset Blvd for four years during her time in LA.
Her passion for fitness led to a successful career as a fitness model, appearing in publications like Men's Health, Fit TV's All Star Workouts, Crunch Fitness, and Body by Jake. While in Los Angeles, Jenny discovered the Barre workout, inspired by the Lotte Berk Method—a combination of ballet, Pilates, and yoga—used by many celebrities to tone their bodies and create lean, dancer-like physiques. She was so impressed with the results that she fell in love with this unique fitness method, blending her love for dance and fitness.
After returning home to be closer to her family, Jenny opened Secret Physique® in 2008 to share her newfound passion for Barre with others. Since then, she has become a lululemon athletica ambassador, participating in their community events and sharing their positive message. The name "Secret Physique®" is inspired by the book The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, which encourages the power of belief—where thoughts become things and goals are achievable. At Secret Physique®, the mantra is simple: “Making it Happen.”
Jenny is an AFAA Group Fitness Certified Instructor, a former POUND-Rockout. Workout® Master Pro/ICON, and a 305 Fitness Certified Instructor.
