Freelance Journalist and Reporter · Colorado

Jenny McCoy

Senior-level health & fitness writer

Hi there! I'm a freelance journalist in Colorado specializing in health and fitness.

Through my 10+ year career, I've authored over 1,000 articles for leading national publications, including Vogue, Glamour, SELF, Outside, Men's Health, Runner's World, and more.

I regularly report and write in-depth articles for the Colorado Trust, a health equity foundation. And I've also created editorial content for companies including Microsoft and Peloton.

My passion for health and fitness runs deep: I'm a certified personal trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. And I teach exercise classes at my local rec center.

Outside of work, I love to lift weights, play word games, and explore the outdoors with my daughter, husband, and dog.
