Jennifer Giesber

Jennifer found triathlon in 2013 during one of the hardest chapters of her life—and it changed everything. What began as a personal reset became a powerful source of healing, community, and growth. She never imagined this sport would fill her soul the way it has, helping her rebuild from setbacks and evolve with life’s twists and turns.

Originally from Charlotte, NC, Jennifer moved to Tucson, AZ in 2019, then to Hillsborough, NJ in 2023, where she now lives with her husband and son. Along the way, she’s worn many hats: professional chef, pastry chef, licensed massage therapist, tri shop employee, and coach. Through every chapter, her passion has remained the same—helping others feel strong, capable, and connected.

Jennifer brings empathy, real-world experience, and a whole-person approach to everything she does. Whether you’re just starting out or finding your way back, she’s here to help you train with purpose, meet yourself with grace, and find joy in the journey.

How We SHINE Together

Endurance sport is for everyone—every body, every background, every pace. Success isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is coaching. I meet you where you are, and we build from there.

My approach is grounded in respect, empathy, and creating a space where you can show up fully as yourself. Whether you're balancing work and family, returning from injury, navigating menopause, or just starting your athletic journey—your path is valid, and your goals matter.

Together, we’ll create a customized training plan that supports your lifestyle, keeps you engaged, and adapts as life happens. Some seasons are about chasing performance, others about rediscovering joy in movement—and every step forward counts.

Through structure, support, and a whole-person mindset, my goal is to help you train with purpose, race with confidence, and grow in ways that shine far beyond the finish line.
