Jenny BorDA PT, DPT
I am a doctor of Physical Therapy, CrossFit L1 trainer, former athlete, coach, mom, animal lover, crafter, shoe addict, and self proclaimed french fry connoisseur.
I got into competitive gymnastics at a young age (with 2 parents who coached…my mom still judges!) and never looked back. After my career as a gymnast was over, I worked for twelve years as a high-level gymnastics coach. When an athlete is dedicated to their sport, it’s easy to forget about leading a well-rounded life. But nothing is more important! My passion for helping young athletes on and off the field led me to earn a doctoral degree in Physical Therapy from The Ohio State University in 2008. Giving young gymnasts the tools they need for success not just in competition, but in life as well, is central to the Built by Borda mission. You may be the most dedicated athlete in the world — there’s still time to read a book or go catch a movie with a friend sometimes. You are more than just your sport!
I’ve dedicated my career to treating young athletes, with a concentration on empowering young gymnasts and getting injured competitors back to doing what they love. I’m passionate about helping athletes rise above the obstacles in their lives through a combination of injury-prevention programming and movement coaching. Together, we can map out a well-rounded lifestyle to put you on the healthiest path for your long term growth. It all starts with positivity and balance.
In recent years I competed in CrossFit and as a national-level Olympic Weightlifter. This experience led me to get certified to coach CrossFit, which I currently do at Friendship Fitness in Dublin. My work requires a lot of time and energy, but I also practice what I preach! Carving out breaks throughout the day to do all the things I love is essential to my own happiness. When I’m not coaching, I have a blast renovating/decorating homes, doing a variety of crafts, hanging out with my daughter, and spending time with my two adorable (and totally rambunctious) dogs! At the end of the day, I’m a big believer in hard work, positive thinking, and a balanced approach to both life and athletics. These things have served me well throughout my career, and sharing them with other athletes is an absolute joy.
