Ladies, you are two of my biggest inspirations/supporters since I met you at the Atlanta PHAT Camp in 2007. Now, 2008 has been the best year culminating in a Fitness Overall WIN and National Qualification at the NPC All Forces Bodybuilding, Figure and Fitness Championships.  I contacted you Jenny because I was ready to give fitness competitions a try; you turned me over to the very capable hands of Lishia Dean, who choreographed/taught me a fantastic routine in January 2008, at the Atlanta PHAT Camp. I had lots of work to do (mainly because I have no gymnastics or dance background), but I learned the basics of the routine and hit the gym to bring it to life.  Lishia created the routine to meet my specific needs gave me plenty of tips on how to break it down into sections, and there were lots of options to kick it up a notch as the strength and confidence in my skills grew.  I shook out all the bugs at my first competition, finishing 2d, then went back to work, it needed to be FUN (for me and the audience). At the All Forces Competition I was able to pull off a great routine and received many complements for the strength moves/choreography, the best was that I am on the right track for competing in fitness!  Lishia - I can't wait to work with you again for a new routine in 2009!

Let me know if you need more info. I do have some other pics and can share them if you'd like...Gotta get through this next competition and BOY my hammies are talking to me, lol  (I love plyometrics, hehe...)

Jen is truly an inspiration and a motivator when it comes to the routines of fitness.  I have always admired and looked up to her athletic ability, charisma and the entertainment value she brings to the stage every time she steps on it. I am so fortunate to have her choreographing my routines. Jenny has helped me with numerous routines beginning in 2002 where I competed at the Jan Tana with my first top 10 placing as a pro. I have since had Jen choreograph my 2006 Olympia routine, The Pink Panther, and my 2007 Ms. International and Ms. Olympia routines, Ohio State and Grease Themes, which landed me in top placings.  Not only does Jen help me with my routines but she helps me to come up with great themes, my costume and all the small details that set the routine apart from others. She focused in on all my strengths to help me to be the best that I can be every time I get up on the stage to perform. I have to say that since I have had Jen helping me with my routines, I have had a great time getting up on stage and performing.  Thank you for everything Jen.

"Lishia, I can't thank you enough for the choreography of my fitness routine.  You did an amazing job capturing my personality, style and the ability to show off all my strengths.  You taught it perfectly and can't wait to perfect it over the next 12 weeks.  Thank you again for your ideas, coaching, and creativity.  You are the best!"

     Working on my routine with Lishia and Jenny this last season was a wonderful experience. We all know that these two are amazing performers, and I was pumped to have them put a piece of themselves into my routine! As a former dancer, I usually choreograph my own routines, but I was busy and unmotivated to do it myself this time around. Since I didn't have time to fly out to work with the ladies, Lishia taught me through video, and provided me with all of her notes to help me learn the routine. Working from a distance was much easier than I had originally thought, and I was able to learn my routine in no time!

Lishia and Jenny provided me some great new strength moves to incorporate into my routine, really adding to the difficulty level that I was lacking in previous routines. And even though we never physically worked together, these two supported me throughout my training, checking in often to see how everything was coming together for me.

I greatly appreciate Lisha and Jenny taking my routine skills to the next level, and I can't wait to work with them both again for my next routine! Thank you girlies!

Dear Lishia & Jen,
    Thank you so much for choreographing my routine and putting together my music. Your assistance has been one of the best investments I have made as a competitive bodybuilder. As someone who works full time and gets up at 5 a.m. to train, there is no way I could have developed a comparable routine on my own. Both friends, competitors and total strangers told me the routine looked great. Bottom line: You made a huge contribution in helping me to look my best. I look forward to working with you again.

    "Taking it to the next level" is a shirt I bought from Jen at the Arnold.  This is exactly what my experience with Jen and Lishia has been.  I've competed in a few federations to try to see how they all work, but my passion lies in NPC with hopes and dreams of becoming a Pro! With my first NPC Fitness competition coming up, I contacted Jen for choreography since she is the one I've always looked up to! I LOVE how she puts it all on the table when it comes to her routines and I wanted that "wow" factor as well.   I want people to remember ME! The only thing was, Jen was booked up so she was unable to do my routine.  She did say that Lishia was working with her... so to me, if Jen suggested it... that's what I would do! I'd always thought so much of her routines and choreography I knew I couldn't go wrong! 
    She was right! I got in touch with Lishia and we worked together to come up with a theme, music, choreography, and even costume ideas.   I received my video routine and it was amazing! She was able to capture my personality in the routine without even meeting me in person first! I believe this was because we had great communication.  Whether it was emails a day to figure out a theme or words of encouragement, I heard from Lishia and Jen regularly.  With this 'family-like' atmosphere it has only made me more comfortable and confident going into my first show!  I was able to meet them both at the Arnold a few weeks ago and felt like I had known them for years!   Again, nothing but words of encouragement!  I want to THANK them both for their support!! They've both had such a great impact on me and will never know how grateful I am for them having such a great part in my first steps in the direction toward my ultimate dream!

Heidi Fletcher

Heidi Fletcher was in a rut and needed to get noticed above the rest. Its obvious she is beautiful and talented but she was getting lost in the mix. "How can we make her stand out". Well focusing on her diet and changing up her routine from the NPC USA's.
Heidi emailed Jen and suggested Jessica Simpson's Dukes of Hazzard as a theme for her routine, Jen loved the idea for Heidi and used her creativity to make it unique above the rest. Heidi captured the #1 spot. At 2005 Atlanta NPC Nationals Heidi pulled off Jen's choreographed routine after spending only 1 day working with Olympia Champion. Heidi learned her routine 3 months prior to the show.
Heidi not only won her class but took the OVERALL title and is the current National Champ in the NPC. If you are looking to take the next step contact JEN at jenhenfit2000@aol.com . We welcome the newest IFBB Pro, Heidi Fletcher to the stage. You and Jen make a great team.


WOOOO-HOOO! What else can I say other than YOU ROCK! You did an amazing job at choreographing a routine that fit me to a “T”! My routine was so “me”, and then added with a little bit of that Hendershott flair it gave me just what I ! needed to put me at the top!
I had a blast with you learning it, and appreciate the time and attention that you put into all of the details leading up to our session. For your collaboration with me on my costume, to music ideas, and listening to my likes and dislikes, as well as being totally up front about what would work and what wouldn’t. Thank you for not only your amazing choreography, but also all the follow-up, including all the calls and words of support and encouragement when I needed it the most. You are a true professional and inspiration. Thank you for helping me to accomplish such a tremendous goal!

What show/shows you did the routine choreographed by Jen at/What place did you get: OCB Central Atlantic States Ms. Fitness - 2nd place - This qualified me for Nationals in Las Vegas, however I did not place (They indicated I was too ripped and that their expectations were "reasonable" body fat. They also did not like that I took my clothes off during the routine - Go Figure! I did, however, get chosen for a commercial break so maybe I will be on FoxSports Network next year once it is produced - Ms. Fitness 2006), I also competed in SNBF FAME Nationals where I placed fourth.
A testimonial about your experience working with Jen: I knew from the minute that I met Jen I would enjoy working with her. She is very down to earth and has a great spirit. She has become my motivation and an inspiration. I have a picture of her receiving her award from Arnold posted to my computer screen at work. Not only is she one of the best in the industry, but she is also one of the most gracious. I wish her the best of luck at the Olympia which I will be attending to cheer her on. GO JEN!!!!

Working with Jen Hendershott was an experience that I will never forget! It proved to be invaluable in more ways than one. Not only did I polish off my fitness routine, Jen also introduced me to Jim Lorimer (promoter of the Arnold Classic). This introduction led to my invite to the 2002 Arnold Classic! Thank you Jen!

Being able to work with you was the most inspiring. I was able to feel the energy and strength that you have in your routines, which is the difference between a good routine and a great routine. So for me, it wasn't only the wonderful choreography that made my first routine a success, but the inspiration that came from working with you.

Jen did all my shows!!! from 1997 to 2002. I ended up getting my pro card and competing in the IFBB.
When I decided to compete in fitness, I had no routine experience what-so-ever and Hendershott took me all the way. We started with the basics and expanded from there. She did not just put a routine together, she did it all!! From helping me pick my music, designing my costumes, and coming up with kick ass routines, checking on me before/during/and after the show. She is a one in a million! I could not have done it without her.
