Jenny Ward: October 20 - Member of the Month

This is the second time we have acknowledged Jen as our Member of the Month.


This time around Jen has achieved an amazing milestone and has been training with Key To Life for over 10 years now. Jen has been involved in 3on1 Personal Training with her long time training buddies Jeanette and Sharon in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle for as long as she can.


Jen has adjusted well to the home workouts over Zoom during lockdown in order to continue to a regular routine with her exercise for mental health as well as physical health. An inspirational journey by you Jen and congratulations on commiting to a healthy and strong mind and body during your time as a KTL member. We can't wait to see what is in store for you for many more years to come.


Over to Jen for her advice on Training, Motivation & Lifestyle.....


What is your favourite Key To Life Training Session and Why?


My favourite session is Personal Training in the studio. Rohan always throws in different new exercises to keep it interesting, my sessions are never boring.


 If you use any Key To Life recipes, what is your favourite?


There are so many to like, but my absolute favourite is the Chicken & Vegetable Soup & the Grilled Salmon & Greens.


 What is your biggest motivation?


As I and my body are getting older, my weight training helps to keep my body healthy and strong.


 What is your biggest accomplishment you have achieved during your time with us at Key To Life?


I have two accomplishments, my first accomplishment was when I had shoulder surgery about six years ago. Rohan was fantastic in helping me with re-hab, building my strength back to a point now that I am able to use heavy weights & accomplish doing pushups.


Four years ago I was diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation. With doing regular weight training, exercising and using many of the recipes from Key to Life, it has helped me to keep my weight down, a big key factor in keeping my AF under control and reducing my medication.   


 What advice would you give to somebody just starting at Key To Life?


Don’t be scared, just give it a go. Remember everyone that has started with Key to Life has been in that same position asking themselves,: “can I do this”, “it’s too hard”. Start slowly, there are so many different sessions on offer to try. The team at Key to Life are so knowledgeable and always ready to help.

Iron, Calcium & Key Nutrients Often Missed
By Key to Life Health and Fitness • September 1, 2026
Modern eating habits, busy schedules, and reduced outdoor time all contribute to nutrient gaps. The good news is that small, consistent changes can make a meaningful difference.
Breathing for Calm: Simple Techniques to Reduce Stress
By Key to Life Health and Fitness • September 1, 2026
Breathing is a built‑in stress‑management system that can be accessed anytime, anywhere. When life becomes busy or overwhelming, breathing patterns often shift without us noticing—becoming shallow, fast, or irregular. This signals the body to stay alert, keeping the nervous system in a heightened state.
Rediscovering Movement: Exercise That Feels Good, Not Punishing
By Key to Life Health and Fitness • September 1, 2026
Many people grew up with fitness messages focused on intensity, discipline, and “earning” food. Over time, this can create an unhealthy relationship with exercise—one driven by guilt or pressure rather than enjoyment.

Beef mince and pumpkin protein dinner bake
By Key to Life Health and Fitness • September 1, 2026
This beef mince and pumpkin protein dinner bake ticks all the nutritious (and delicious) boxes for a midweek dinner. It’s a bowl of comfort that’s brimming with flavour. A lighter, brighter lasagne, this bake can also be made gluten free if you use gluten-free lasagne sheets.
