I can't thank Jenny enough for everything she has done for us on this retreat, especially for bringing us all together.  What a gift!  I feel rejuvenated and blessed to have been a part of this fabulous retreat.

So many things - the workout room was so perfect!  The bartenders were great - lol!  The food was delicious and wonderful.  I enjoyed the winery hike the most (hiking on declines and inclines is good practice!).  Westlake was a beautiful place and I feel fortunate to have experienced it.

Jenny was FANTASTIC!  So impressive!  The classes were great - I loved learning while working out!

I truly had a wonderful time and am so grateful for all of Jenny's enthusiasm and organizational skills!  The food was wonderful!  I'm so grateful for all the friendships I made.

What did I enjoy the most?  EVERYTHING!!  Thank you, Jenny - you are simply the best!  Jenny is a miracle worker!

I really enjoyed the food, excursion, and happy hours!  It was so great not having to to think about any details - loved how it was all-inclusive.  I would highly recommend this retreat to others.

I loved having 4 nights here!  The classes, camaraderie, and seminars were all priceless.  I'm so excited to do it again!

This trip was SUPER!  So well organized and I appreciated all the work put into the planning.  Such a FUN TRIP!  The resort was great.  The food was amazing and such a nice variety.  The seminar was interesting and a useful topic for sure.  I also LOVED the wine hike and loved all the nice variety of fitness classes.

I had so much fun from the minute I arrived until the minute I left. I even woke up in the night smiling and so content. I loved everything about it. Everyone in the group bonded so well. We all left feeling  as though we will be lifelong  friends. All the activities were perfect from walking in the mornings, to cardio work outs, to line dancing, yoga, seminars,  pool / visiting time, fire pit time ( which included some pretty tasty cocktails and some very melodic singing). The food was amazing at every single meal and the happy hours were so fun! I didn’t miss a minute of anything and I am so glad I didn’t. I hope to be able to attend again and again and again.

What a wonderful experience I had at Jenny's retreat in California! While my expectations were a bit high, the retreat far exceeded them.  The food...wonderful; the wine...delicious; the attendees...super fun; Jenny...welcoming and even more fun than I thought she would be.  We had great classes and a good mix of activities, including trips to restaurants and a winery tour. I returned home reinvigorated and inspired to continue my fitness lifestyle. I smile each time I remember the good times and think about the new friends I met there.

This was a nice balance of rest, exercise (and no pressure whatsoever for participation - appreciated!!).  I loved all the restaurants and the amazing authentic food prepared at our villa.  The natural hot spring was so cool and I loved the variety of all the cities we visited.  Lisa and Jenny were the most amazing guides and leaders.

This trip exceeded my expectations.  Every person I met was so friendly and down to earth.  I loved the variety of activities and experiences.  Making memories with my daughter and new lifelong friends.  I appreciated Lisa's attention to detail.  Jenny is so knowledgeable and adapted to all us "newbies."  This was a great place and I felt very safe.

Every day was so organized (100% from beginning to end).  FIVE STARS!  Jenny is a wonderful instructor and Lisa was so gracious to share her knowledge and share all the places with us.  The kitchen staff were so friendly and served us amazing food.  I felt at home.  All in all, a 5 star experience!

I loved it all, but visiting all the ancient villages and learning the history was a highlight.  My birthday occurred during this trip and they made it exceptional.  This trip was wonderful and unforgettable - one to remember.  It was a pleasure getting to know all these women - I feel truly blessed.

I just loved it all!  I loved working out in the morning and then exploring Italy in the afternoons.  It was all so beautiful.  I would absolutely recommend this trip to others.  I appreciated all the hard work that went into this and for making it so memorable with my mom and friends.  It truly was a trip of a lifetime!

My friend, who went last year invited me this year because it sounded wonderful.  The best part?  Oh, the service - 3 meals a day (fabulous food!), the cleaning of our spaces, kindness, safe cheerful transportation, every trip, and Lisa, our host accommodating every little request.  I loved our bedrooom and bathroom.  The exercise classes were so good and I loved all the villages and architecture.

Having been able to attend both retreats held in Tuscany, I can say you will not be disappointed! The retreats are very well organized from the exercise sessions, food, excursions, and having just the right amount of free time! All you need to do is show up and enjoy! Would I go again, ABSOLUTELY!

A truly perfect fitness retreat!  I have given thought to what makes a retreat of any kind successful. I think it is when you have attended an event and you leave having been inspired in some way--a new goal,  a new way of thinking, some type of positive result with an eye toward the future. I was inspired watching the other women showing the effects of these past couple of years under your fabulous teaching. The results of fitness training were evident and with it joyful and happy spirits all around! Everyone was just so nice and welcoming too. I so enjoyed beginning the day with a good stretch of some kind and then the beach walk with my new friends.

Gorgeous location - very good restaurant, too and nice staff.  I am so happy I decided to sign up for this retreat.  My expectations were high and were all met!  I was sure I would enjoy the company of my fellow retreaters and I certainly did.  What a great bunch!  The classes were fun and challenging, but do-able.  The variety of activities was great.  I LOVED the morning stretches and beach walks.  It combined good exercise with a nice opportunity to chat with people and get to know them.

All the classes were great.  I liked the information in the seminars - Jenny has a lot of knowledge and I trust her.  I would do this event for my vacation every year.  Thanks to Jenny for all she does.  She is so appreciated and has been a life saver and life line to the world during the past couple of years.

This retreat was in a great location.  The line dancing was GREAT!  The goodie bags were great, too.  Thank you for all your hard work and organization!

I am so glad I came!  These past few days have been a good kick start to get back up to the exercise I know I need.  The hotel grounds are lovely and the beach is terrific.  It was very clean with a friendly staff.

I am already waiting for the next retreat!  I am so thankful I came.  Jenny's enthusiasm, positivity, and kindness are contagious!

The retreat was just fabulous!  It was wonderful to meet Jenny in person.  We all felt like we already know her because we have "been to your house" on videos.  She's been in our house for years!  The gardens, beach, and food at the hotel were all great!

I don't have enough words to describe the positivity from this retreat!  Jenny is amazing, always approachable, happy, energetic, and FUN!

Thank you for the cute tote bags and goodies!  You have made this retreat a delight!  It was the perfect amount of free time in between activities.  The morning beach walk was a great way to start the day.  The end of Jamboree dinner party was just perfect - loved the slide show!  Just a beautiful camaraderie amongst all!

I had high expectations for this retreat and they were far exceeded!  It was wonderful to connect with so many ladies who all have one thing in common - Jenny!  During conversations, we found out we had so much more in common.  Absolutely delightful time with ladies who are committed to staying fit and who have not forgotten how to have fun!!  Jenny's smile is infectious.  She just lights up when she is leading a class.  It is so easy to see that she is doing what she loves to do and I am so thankful that I found her!  Hope to go to another retreat soon!

What a surreal experience getting to do Fit Bunch IN PERSON with such an incredible group and Jenny.  I loved the organization and attention to rhythm!  What a fun dance party!!  Thanks for the inspiration!

This retreat was such an awesome experience.  You are an incredible instructor.  Your kind personality that you showed to each and every person was very special.  Many thanks for coordinating such a memorable time together.

Communication was very helpful.  I loved the dancing and the slide show on the last night.  Fabulous planning!  Thoroughly enjoyed the walks on the beach in the mornings.  Thank you for everything - I'll be talking about this trip for months to come!

I loved the nice variety of activities!  I just love how you are able to make everyone feel comfortable - a great people person!

Everything was AMAZING!  Very personable.  I loved how you interacted with everyone, even on your "breaks."  I loved that you kept it small - perfect number of people.  You were very creative with the workouts!  As a first timer Jenny Fit Start girl, let me just say "I am sold!"  Retreat was very well organized - I could just go on!  Thank you so much!

My trip to Italy with Jenny was everything I had hoped for, plus so much more! It was the perfect mix of great exercise, wellness seminars, wonderful food, wine, great excursions and new friends. La Montalla was the perfect location, and the authentic Italian food prepared for us there was just divine. Lisa made sure every detail of our stay at Montalla was well planned and carried out flawlessly. What a great introduction to the beauty of Tuscany! This was my “trip of a lifetime,” and I would not change one thing. In fact, I would love to do it all again!

I’ve been following Jenny McClendon on YouTube since the summer of 2020. She kept me upbeat and smiling during Covid. When she announced the Retreat in Tuscany I immediately knew that I had to join. I wasn’t disappointed!!! When I met Jenny and the other participants at the airport I knew that I had made the right decision. Jenny was so enthusiastic about absolutely everything. Exercising with her in person was wonderful. Early morning stretches and walks with the breathtaking views of Tuscany were like something out of a picture postcard. Just sitting around and chatting was terrific. We had so much fine line-dancing (under Jenny’s tutelage) in a plaza in Contignano (whuda  thunk it ). La Montalla was a wonderful place to stay. Just what I had hoped for. Once again, just like something out of a brochure on Tuscany. The rooms were charming. If you’re expecting a 5 star hotel this is not for you – but its charm and comfort couldn’t be topped. The outdoor area was lovely. We ate together three times a day. I think that communal dining is a wonderful way for a group of strangers to get to know one another and to become friends – which we did. There was much talking and laughing at these meals. The group of women that participated were basically strangers when we met and at the end of ten days we had become wonderful friends. If I used too many superlatives I apologize…but it was fabulous!!!

OMG – THE MOST AMAZING TRIP OF A LIFETIME – That is how I describe the recent Wellness Retreat to Tuscany headed by Jenny McClendon, our fabulous aerobics and workout instructor with her own YouTube channel. Our days started with a morning hike overlooking the most beautiful scenery imaginable, followed by an hour and half of aerobics/boot camp/serenity/yoga which allowed us to eat amazing food and drink great wine “guilt free “ the rest of the day. Afternoon excursions to quaint towns in Tuscany, wine tasting in Siena, fortresses and of course, hot spring baths. Evenings were deliciously prepared dinners by our private “in villa” cooks followed by evenings of schmoozing, seminars and dancing. Twelve women, most of whom never meet before, and spent 10 (some of us 12) days together and all had the most amazing time – and we all had one person in common, Jenny! I cannot say enough about the organization, thought and planning Jenny put into this once in a lifetime trip. She is absolutely the best!!!

10 days of fun, relaxation, and healthy activities all in the most gorgeous surroundings!

I found Jenny on YouTube in March of 2020 at the beginning of the Covid pandemic and became a member of her "Fit Bunch" when she first started her members group. When the retreat was advertised I thought long & hard about it because it was something I was interested in and I love to travel, but this would be outside my comfort zone as I would be going alone & didn't know anyone.  With my husband's encouragement and support and knowing that the women going would be "like minded" I decided to take the leap. Am I ever glad that I did!!

What a fabulous group of people I got to spend the next 10 day with at the beautiful La Montalla, a 600 year old villa with gorgeous views of vineyards and olive trees near the village of Contignano. A very comfortable, rustic yet modern, "farmhouse" with delicious food & wine served at meals. Exercise was plentiful but a perfect amount mixed with down time. But, if you didn't feel like taking part in an activity/exercise no worries, you didn't have to and it was made clear right at the start that this was "our" retreat and we could do as much or as little as we wanted. Having said that, I didn't miss a single walk, stretch or class!  We also had time to do some sight seeing, eating & shopping in beautiful Sienna, Pienza & Montepulciano. You didn't have to stick with a large group either. You could easily venture off on your own or maybe with a couple of new friends! I absolutely loved this retreat, Jenny and the women I got to spend it with.

The Jenny Fit Start Retreat in Italy exceeded my every expectation! Our "home away from home" for 10 days, La Montala, was very comfortable and the staff went above and beyond to meet our every need. The excursions were wonderfully planned by our host. The exercise options including morning hikes, mid-day group exercises, and a variety of special workshops were great! If the goal was to make this a life changing trip, the mission was accomplished!!

My expectations were high of Jenny’s Tuscany Wellness Retreat. It exceeded expectations and was unique in so many ways that I’ve told many after returning home that it was truly “a trip of a lifetime.” It was the perfect balance of fitness activities, seminars, delicious food, and emersion in Tuscan culture, all catered perfectly to the group of 10 active senior women. The rural 600 year old villa on a working farm was the perfect setting for such an experience. The bonds that were formed among the group were fostered by Jenny’s enthusiasm, positive energy, and expertise in the physical needs of our population. I would recommend this retreat to anyone and am immensely grateful to have been a part of the experience.
