About
Janna Breslin is most recognized as a fitness model, NASM‑certified personal trainer, and nutrition therapist who graced the covers of Max Sports & Fitness, Train for Her, Oxygen Australia, Maxim South Africa, and Inside Fitness magazines. Born February 16, 1990, in San Diego, California, she measures 5’ 8″ (173 cm) and has a multifaceted career that includes coaching, creating content, and entrepreneurship. Her Instagram following alone is over 600k followers, providing her with a huge stage upon which she posts workouts, health advice, and her love of living outdoors with the use of hashtags #GTFOutside and #EarnYourFreedom.
Away from social media, Breslin co‑hosts Modern Homestead, a reality series on CarbonTV and Prime Video that follows her and partner Evan DeMarco as they transform 120 acres of raw Tennessee land into an off‑grid, regenerative farm. The show blends practical homesteading skills with its broader message of self‑sufficiency and holistic health.
Before Fame
Sports defined Janna’s childhood. From an early age, she ran cross‑country, vaulted in track and field, and played soccer, and found that movement alleviated stress and anxiety. Studying at California State University Channel Islands, she began taking her first modelling gigs in 2008, posing first for swimwear, then later shifting to fitness shoots where her athletic physique could shine.
Competing came next. In 2013, she competed in her first NPC Bikini competition and took the win—an experience that led to five more wins and the unofficial title of six‑time Bikini champion. The stage success, along with consistent magazine work, led her to transition to fitness full‑time, ultimately earning her personal‑training and nutritional‑therapy certifications so she could share her results with clients.
Trivia
- Cancer pivot: A Stage 4 Hodgkin’s lymphoma diagnosis in 2015 compelled Janna to transform every detail of her regimen. She attributes a combination of traditional treatment, functional medicine, red‑light therapy, cryotherapy, and rigorous nutrition to her recovery and states the experience compelled her toward a more holistic approach to health.
- Magazine milestone: Fitness Gurls once deemed her “Physique of the Year,” an honor she attributes to habit rather than heredity.
- Bio‑optimization enthusiast: From saunas to water harvesters, Breslin loves to try gear that she feels pushes human performance ahead—equipment she commonly features on Modern Homestead.
- Entrepreneurial impulse: On her Linktree boutique, she retails homemade tallow balm, regenerative meat, and discounted lab testing to fans who are interested in blood‑work‑based coaching.
- Six-day split true believer: While she changes programming, her go-to plan interchanges upper- and lower-body days with a focus on kettlebell circuits and hill sprints to prevent overreaching.
Family Life
Janna grew up in Thousand Oaks before moving to San Diego, attributing an outdoorsy California childhood to her affection for fresh air and sunlight. Though she keeps most family members in the background, her social media content sometimes tips its hat to encouraging parents who supported her sporty activities.
Romantically, she shares life and business with author and sports‑nutrition expert Evan DeMarco. The couple documents highs and lows of their relationship—infidelity recoveries, co‑parenting challenges, and boundary‑setting—on the Complete Human podcast, insisting that transparency helps others navigate modern partnerships. Together, they relocated to rural Tennessee, where they now film Modern Homestead and experiment with regenerative agriculture.
