Coach John Jenkins grew up in Wyckoff, New Jersey, a small town where there were ample places to run, play and work off some energy.

John started his journey by getting his Personal Training Certificate and becoming a P.T. at Georgetown's Definitions Gym.  While getting himself into tip-top shape, he realized there was a need for children to be taught the importance of being physically fit at an early age.

John's wife Annie came on board in summer 2006 as a swim instructor and yoga instructor. Annie is a Budding Yogi certified yoga instructor and shares her husbands passion for fitness. Since 2006, they have collaboratively been adding classes and seeing more than 400 kids a week. 

Over a thousand children have participated in Just for Kids programs since its creation in September of 2002, and Coach John hopes to see many more! He knows that an active child is a happier, healthier child!
