About Our founders
Jennifer & Patrick Dawson
Co-Founders of Northglenn Health and Fitness
Serving Northglenn, Thornton, Westminster, Brighton, and Broomfield, CO
We created Northglenn Health and Fitness (NHF) because we knew the fitness industry was failing real women.
If you’ve ever joined a class or signed up at one of those big “show up whenever you want” gyms—only to never actually go—and felt judged, lost, or unsure what to do when you did go… you’re not alone. That’s where most of our clients start. But NHF is different.
We built a program that helps women over 30 feel supported, seen, and confident from day one. You don’t have to already know what you’re doing to start. You don’t have to be in shape first. That’s our job.
Jennifer leads the vision behind NHF. As a certified nutrition and accountability coach with years of experience helping women simplify food and build sustainable habits, she’s here to take the confusion out of nutrition. Her work goes beyond macros and meal plans—it’s about helping women rebuild trust with their bodies and create lasting change through compassion, not restriction.
Patrick is the expert behind the training side of the program. He leads all fitness programming and coach development. At NHF, every coach goes through our in-house certification program—because a certification from a technical school / program alone isn’t enough. Our standard includes technical coaching and emotional intelligence. We coach everyBODY with empathy, structure, and strategy so you feel supported every step of the way. Everything here has the NHF touch in our processes.
At NHF, we specialize in:
-
Women’s individual personal training
-
Semi Private personal training
-
Nutrition coaching for women over 30
We proudly serve the communities of Northglenn, Thornton, Westminster, Brighton, and Broomfield—and we’d love to support you next.

About Our coaches
Jennifer
Owner
I’m Jennifer—owner of Northglenn Health and Fitness (NHF), proud mom, coach, and fierce advocate for women who are tired of being told that extreme is the only way to be healthy.
I created NHF for women like you—women who have spent years taking care of everyone else, quietly struggling with confidence, and feeling overwhelmed by the conflicting noise around fitness and food. If you’ve tried all the diets, lost and gained the same 10 pounds more times than you can count, or walked into a big gym and instantly felt out of place—you’re not alone. I’ve been there, and so have many of the incredible women in this community.
What I want you to know is this:
It’s okay to need help.
It’s okay to start over—again.
And you don’t have to do it alone this time.
My job isn’t to “fix” you—because you’re not broken.
My job—and my passion—is to help you feel safe enough to show up, supported enough to stay consistent, and strong enough to do things you never thought possible.
At NHF, we believe in coaching everyBODY—not just the ones who already look the part. Our clients are real women, with real schedules, real curves, and real goals. We meet you where you are and help you build habits that work with your life—not against it.
If you’re nervous to reach out, that’s okay. Most of our clients were, too. But something brought you here—and I think that means you’re ready.
Let’s talk. You bring the courage. I’ll bring the coffee. Click the link to book a call – you’ll get me directly.

Brad
Coach
“Look well into thyself; there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou
wilt always look” – Marcus Aurelius
Even though I grew up playing sports throughout my childhood and began strength training in my early teens, my entire life I’ve struggled with my weight and the disease of obesity.
As I entered my early adult years, I paid less attention to my health and developed poor lifestyle habits that caused me to become my heaviest weight and diagnosed with high blood pressure.
That all changed in 2020, when I made the commitment to focus on nutrition and fitness. I was nervous, I was scared, and I doubted myself, but I remained disciplined and consistent in my attempts to improve my health.
I began to fall in love with going to the gym, challenging myself, and enjoyed seeing improvements in strength as well as body composition.
Today, I am proud to say that the lifestyle changes I made have
contributed to losing over 200 lbs. and taken off blood pressure medications!
I also developed a deep passion for fitness that led me to a pursuit of becoming a Certified Personal Trainer. I wanted to know more about fitness and share my knowledge and experience with those who also have struggled.
I’m so excited to be working with the amazing team at Northglenn Health and Fitness, as well as meet all our clients. I want to hear your stories, share ideas for success and overcoming challenges, and help you find your source of strength to empower you and
conquer your goals.
Dion
Coach
If you ask anyone to describe me, they’ll almost always say the same thing: I’m silly, always smiling, resilient, and determined. I believe in creating my own path in life, and if there’s a way to learn or grow, I’ll surely find it!
My journey as a personal trainer was born from a place of tragedy that sparked my desire to feel stronger, be healthier, and live longer. I started as a client at Northglenn Health and Fitness during one of the hardest times of my life, and the process of transforming myself led me to realize that I wanted to help others do the same.
Fitness gave me more than just physical strength—it taught me about self-empowerment and resilience. My own transformation inspired me to pursue a new path in life, guiding others to unlock their potential and experience their own quality-of-life improvements.
I’m married, with 3 kids and a grandson. I’ve been involved in healthcare since I was 16, and I’ve always been my happiest when positively impacting someone’s life. Now, as a personal trainer, I’m committed to empowering others through compassion, motivation, the belief that real change comes from within and we are all worth it!
Anna
Coach
Anna is a personal trainer serving women in Northglenn, Thornton, and Brighton areas who want real coaching without the pressure or judgment. She’s been active her whole life—playing sports, skiing since age four, and later studying exercise science, nutrition, and sports medicine.
She chose Northglenn Health and Fitness because it matches what she values: a safe, supportive space where women can feel seen, build strength, and laugh a little along the way. Anna’s style is upbeat, adaptable, and focused on what matters most—helping you feel better in your body and more in control of your health.
Tristan
Coach
I’ve spent the last several years as a personal trainer and training manager, helping hundreds of people build strength, lose weight, and gain confidence both inside and outside the gym. At my previous role, I was recognized for leading one of the most successful training teams in the company, but what mattered the most to me wasn’t the number it was watching people surprise themselves with what they’re truly capable of.I joined Northglenn Health & Fitness because I believe fitness should feel simple, sustainable, and personal. My philosophy is rooted in meeting people where they’re at and creating a clear game plan that works for their lifestyle. Whether your goal is strength, fat loss, or simply feeling better in your own skin, my focus is helping you build long-term results without confusion or burnout.
