Joe Hansen

Joe started his career in an industry far far from the fitness world. With 12 years of experience in the motorsports industry, he would rather ride a motorcycle than run a marathon...race a car over going hiking...rock crawl in Moab instead of working out. It's a good thing he married Jenna to keep him active or he may more resemble Jabba the Hutt than the Abominable Snowman. Truth be told, he actually does enjoy a good sweat as long as it doesn't involve cardio. His professional career has mostly consisted of sales, marketing and management. His favorite thing in life is his family. His smokin' hot wife Jenna keeps him humble and his four kids Tori, Josie, Campbell & Aspen keep him busy with volleyball, skiing, softball, baseball, boating and all the crazy that comes with raising kids in today’s world. Joe has competed for 17 years as a Highland Games Athlete. He has competed in the highest amateur class and competes locally, nationally and internationally. Come see what a Scotsman wears under his kilt sometime (compression shorts...really, it wouldn't be pretty otherwise). Alongside of Awaken Studios, Joe also runs a successful real estate company with residential and commercial properties and is always looking for other fun ventures to dip his toes into. Come visit him and his amazing Awaken Family at the studio sometime soon.

“As a shy and awkward child, the pain of feeling like I didn't belong first left me in a dance class. Moving together taught me that while we belong to ourselves, we also belong to each other. My purpose is to show others that we are connected, we are equal, we are one.” -Jenna
