Fitness celebrity and author Jennifer Nicole Lee recently opened the JNL Beauty & Wellness Center at the Village of Merrick Park in Coral Gables.

The mother-turned-fitness mogul wielded over-sized scissors to snip the red “grand opening” ribbon across the center’s entrance on Saturday, Oct. 6. Guests enjoyed appetizers and desserts as they perused the wellness products, lifestyle brands, exercise equipment and more at the debut.

Mrs. Lee’s career as a top fitness expert and icon began when she lost over 80 pounds after the birth of her children.
