Jenny West: Age and Profession

Jenny West was born on October 18, 1986. The 33-year-old is a professional bodybuilder, reality star, fitness instructor, and influencer. She was a regular kid in school who loved her candies and cake but her low metabolism made it hard for her to maintain her weight. Her hardcore fitness journey began when one of her friends asked Jenny to accompany her to the gym. She began weight training, fell in love with it and hasn’t looked back since then. Jenny was inspired by Lucy to take up professional weight lifting in 2010.

But over time, the weightlifter has mastered the art of just blocking all the negativity and moving on.
