Meet Jenna Dettmer and Mikayla Ellsworth of FitStop Foods in Littleton

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jenna Dettmer and Mikayla Ellsworth.

Jenna and Mikayla, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
Working in the personal training industry for ten plus years and experiencing the everyday nutrition struggles our clients dealt with led us to create our healthy meal preparation company! We wanted to give our client and others that struggled with how to eat healthy an outlet, so we created FitStop Foods!

FitStop Foods is a healthy meal preparation company that count macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates, fats). We strategically develop recipes that balance these three important nutrients accurately in order to achieve a healthy more sustainable lifestyle! It was important we incorporated flavorful recipes so our clients experience healthy can still be flavorful and not boring!

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
It certainly has presented many challenges along the road. We were two personal trainers use to a gym as our office! Suddenly, with the enormous shift into the food industry, we were forced to learn a whole new set of skills! First and for most how to prepare 400 plus meals a week! Second, how to deal with the health department!
Every day, we are still presented with challenges but we are grateful to have the support system of our loyal clients!

We’d love to hear more about your business.
In our business, we prepare fully cooked meals. Our meals come in a variety of sizes to accommodate all our clients! Our meals are portioned to incorporate all three macronutrients! We use only healthy carbs and healthy fats and lean protein sources. We have a variety of options to choose from weekly and our menu changes on a weekly basis, variety is the spice of life!

We specialize in macro counting (not calorie counting!) Counting macros is more sustainable and has long term results rather than calorie counting.

We are most proud that we have been able to build a reputable company that has led us to have such wonderful and loyal clients! Including several Denver Bronco and Nuggets players!

There are no companies in the Tri-County area that has a business model like ours. We are the only meal preparation company that has a rotating menu, delivery service, and affordable pricing!

What were you like growing up?
Growing up, I (Jenna) was always very active. Involved in all types of sports and always in the gym however, I always struggled with nutrition. When I graduated from high school and went to college, I knew immediately I wanted to enroll in the Exercise Science program. I was passionate to learn as much as I could about exercise and nutrition and be able to help as many people as I could!

I (Mikayla) was very active growing up as well. I played soccer my whole life but never really knew much about exercise or nutrition until I went to college. Once I got to college, that was when I really got interested in everything fitness and nutrition!
