“Hi! I’m Jolene! I’m a certified personal trainer and wellness coach with over 15 years of experience helping people feel stronger, more confident, and empowered in their bodies. I’m passionate about promoting a healthy body image and helping my clients build confidence—no matter where they’re starting from.
I’ve worked with everyone from complete beginners to elites, and I’ve seen firsthand how strength training, HIIT, good nutrition, and a supportive mindset can truly transform lives. As someone who has trained countless women (including myself!), and who’s navigated scoliosis, spinal fusion, and pregnancy, I’m especially passionate about pre- and postnatal fitness and supporting those with special physical considerations.
I believe wellness should be accessible, realistic, and rewarding—and I can’t wait to help you discover what your body is capable of!”

Call the library, schedule your appointment for the Escape Room. The program is free and for all ages.
An escape room, also known as an escape game, puzzle room, exit game, or riddle room, is a game in which a team of players discover clues, solve puzzles, and accomplish tasks in one or more rooms in order to accomplish a specific goal in a limited amount of time. The goal is often to escape from the site of the game. Escape rooms test the problem-solving, lateral thinking (“thinking outside the box“), and teamwork skills of participants by providing a variety of puzzles and challenges that unlock access to new items or areas in the game when solved.
Most escape games are cooperative, but competitive variants exist. Escape rooms became popular in North America, Europe, and East Asia in the 2010s. Permanent escape rooms in fixed locations were first opened in Asia and followed later in Hungary, Serbia, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, and South America.
