MEET THE COACH

Jénelle Hughlett is the Creator and Head Coach of Ohana Kid Fit. Sport and Recreational activities along with introducing kids to an active lifestyle have always been a passion. She started playing every sport she could get her parents to driver her to, ultimately focusing on volleyball and soccer. When college came knocking she chose to play volleyball and became a student athlete. During that time she also worked during her summers as a camp counselor for the Boys and Girls Club, the YMCA, and as a teacher for My Gym. 
She was able to earn her bachelor’s degree in elementary education although that is not the career path she chose.

 Becoming an outside sales representative gave her the flexibility to not only make a good living but to also still keep an active lifestyle. Plus creating your own schedule once you have kids is amazing!

   Speaking of Kids…. She and her husband have 2. They are 9 and 5. They are ultimately the catalyst of Ohana Kid Fit. The summer of 2020 her kids had nothing to do in the way of organized activities. So noticing that many of their friends had nothing to do also, Ohana Beach Camp was born. The love of that camp made her realize that she loved going to work every morning and she loved teaching these kids not only new skills but how to keep going even when the going got tough. There was and is no greater joy to her when she sees one of her kids accomplish a challenge or event or basic movement that they could not previously do and finally get it. Jénelle knew that this was it, this is what she wanted to do when she “grew up”.  Summer only was not an option so Ohana Kid Fit was born! 

Here we are 2021 she is ready to help her community kids get active, stay active, and realize that movement is fun, it can be hard work but it will pay off.
