Jen Hamilton is the CEO, Founder, and Franchisor of Oxygen Yoga & Fitness Inc.
Since 2011, she has grown Oxygen to over 130 franchised locations sold across Canada, the U.S., and New Zealand. With overwhelming interest in franchises worldwide, her goal is to have 500 studios globally, within the next 5 years.
Jen has been a dynamic and compelling leader in the fitness industry for the past 2 decades and has always been passionate about helping people make lifestyle changes to achieve better health, wellness and personal growth. In the early 2000’s, after having 3 kids under 3, she decided to trust her instincts and passion for fitness and developed Cardio-Core Bootcamp. It started out small, but the concept quickly caught on and people were driving long distances to come to these classes. From there, Jen began franchising and Cardio-Core Bootcamp grew to 59 locations in BC, Alberta, and Ontario.
When she first opened Oxygen Yoga & Fitness in Maple Ridge, BC, her intention was not to franchise again, but the concept was unique, and the studio was overflowing. Oxygen Yoga & Fitness is Canada’s original Infrared Hot Yoga and Fitness studio. The FAR Infrared technology provides benefits such as, detoxification, weight loss, pain relief, and skin purification.
Jen inspires entrepreneurs by sharing her story of both success and struggles, candidly and honestly. New franchisees come through our network everyday, most often starting as members, fall in love with the Oxygen Yoga & Fitness concept and community and want to make it their career. Through Jen and our incredible network of franchisees, they see that there is a path for them to achieve their own goals and dreams of entrepreneurship, work-life balance, and financial freedom.
Jen is also a speaker at Beyond Activ World in Singapore.
