Janine Boucher resides in Rockport, Massachusetts, with her husband and two children. Years ago, she became very interested in personal fitness and began running and working out often. As her confidence in physical fitness grew, she eventually began teaching fitness classes at various workout centers, including the Y.M.C.A. Her intense energy and compassion towards fitness, as well as encouragement of her husband and ex body builder, Mike, led her to start her own fitness center in the basement of her home.

Since it's birth in 2005, "Janine's Fitness" has introduced dozens of women to ultimate physical health as well as emotional wellbeing. The response has been so great that five new classes, more workout machines, and an expansion of the actual workout area has been forced to be added!

Janine is extremely motivating, energetic, and committed to helping people reach their fitness goals. She has a positive approach to wellness and training, and is truly a motivator in fitness and in life. As the Gloucester Daily Times quoted on March 30, 2006,
    "Changing one's world is something Boucher certainly knows how to do. With her at your side, doing the same becomes a dream within reach, and fun to boot."
