Dance, Pilates, and Passion: Jeni DelPozo’s Fitness Journey

The Glo Podcast

Jeni DelPozo realized that she had a passion for dance at an early age, and has transformed that passion into a love of all things fitness. Jeni’s Glo classes focus on strength training, cardio, mat Pilates, and HIIT.

Jeni describes herself as “slightly obsessed with fitness,” and says that she loves strength training, boxing, cycling, and yoga. She finds connections amid all of these forms of training and fitness because of her deep roots in Pilates. “Pilates is the base to all of my training. No matter what workout I’m doing, Pilates is the foundation for my body to take it on,” Jeni says.

In today’s episode, we’ll be discussing the cognitive benefits of dance. Jeni will also be sharing some candid insights into her experiences with burnout and how she manages it. We’ll touch on how reading books unrelated to fitness provides an escape and a sense of balance.
