TRANSFORMATIONS, METABOLISM REHAB, TRAINING, NUTRITION, AND CONTEST PREP
Welcome!
My name is Jennifer Kersten, and I am the owner and creator of 'The MET Academy', previously known as INJA Fit (Inner Jewell Athletics).
INJA Fit began in 2013 and quickly grew to be a strong force in the world of physique transformation, contest prep, and metabolic repair with the blend of science-based application and real-world experience.
As a coach and business owner my passion is in helping women find their long term forever home bodies where they can live their lives without a fear of food, the scale, or putting on a bathing suit.
Along with serving my lifestyle coaching members I continue to coach women into bikini, fitness, figure, and wellness competitions with a strong focus on post contest, reverse dieting, and mindset work while achieving outstanding results from the Amateur to the Professional stage.
I have coached competitors for over 20 years and have had the honour of working with 100's of women at obtaining their dream of stepping on stage at their best! This has included a lengthy list of women taking top placings and first call outs as drug free athletes! Including, the prestigious IFBB Pro Stage!
In 2019 I brought along long-term client IFBB Bikini Pro Shannyn Creekmore to help me take our client service to another level by offering another voice and set of eyes for every member within our INJA FIT community.
At the end of 2020 I changed the business name to The MET Academy for two reasons:
- To reflect the MET-abolism work that I am passionate about and known for within the industry.
- The change in my last name from Jewell (INJA Fit stood for Inner Jewell Athletics) to Kersten
Besides my 20 + years of coaching experience I have been trained and educated by some of the top names in the industry that focus on nutritional science, natural bodybuilding, and exercise physiology such as Dr. Layne Norton, Dr. Mike Zourdous, and Dr. Victoria Felkar.
Through amazing mentors and over two decades as a Trainer and a Nutritionist I have chosen to blend my nutritional philosophies with science and real world experience.

GET UNSTUCK
A large population of women are stuck on the continual start and stop loop due to their mindset towards transformation, metabolism, nutrition, and training.
Their mindset is generally not their fault though.
By the time they come to us they have had a lifetime of patterns and myths surrounding their choices that it is nearly impossible to make change without the help from an expert to educate them and help them reroute negative loop patterns.
Which is why hiring a coach can be a huge benefit!
We spend an incredible amount of time educating our clients on the science of metabolism, fat loss, training, and nutrition so that they can feel empowered with their choices and understand the patterns that are getting in their way.
We discuss in depth mindset because it determines behaviour.
We strongly believe that with education, knowledge, and trust within the coaching relationship that we can re train a clients ideals and habits to cultivate long term change
Anyone can give someone an 8 x 11 and create a physique change but in order to sustain long term goals we need to understand ourselves, our habits, and mindset for life long change.
But not to worry, we will give you all of the tools
TO STAY ACCOUNTABLE
We want our clients to have everything they need to achieve their goals!
We use a custom coaching and training app that allows our clients to record their progress, review their history, retrieve programming, track their nutrition, and communicate with the coaching team wherever they go.
