Who is Jill?

Born and raised in Hanna, Jill Olesen and her husband Brent have a son and two daughters who live just outside of Hanna. She feels blessed to have been employed at the Hanna Dental Clinic for the past 24 years as well as involved with the Hanna Fire Department for 20 years.

Fitness has always been important to Jill and she is always training for the next physical challenge. She was introduced to Kickboxing a couple of years ago by a good friend and instructor. Jill was lucky enough to learn one-on-one and found she quickly fell in love with the sport. She took the instructor course through Fitness Kickboxing Canada with the goal of sharing the sport. It helps to build confidence and fitness with anyone interested.

“Don’t let the name fool you, everyone should give this a try! This class is appropriate for beginners, we will work at your own pace.
