The fitness community in Ooltewah and the surrounding Collegedale area has come together in support of Jen Stachowicz, a beloved member of the Stackhouse Training family. Jen suffered a serious medical emergency on September 15, 2026, while attending a class at Stackhouse Training, according to a fundraising campaign organized in her support.
The campaign states that Jen was receiving treatment at a local hospital, where doctors, nurses, and surgeons were caring for her. It also said that she had already shown signs of improvement, while acknowledging that the family faced a long road ahead.
News of Jen’s medical emergency prompted an outpouring of support from the Stackhouse Training community and residents of the surrounding area. Friends, family members, fellow gym members, and coaches have been encouraged to continue showing their support for Jen and her loved ones.
A fundraising effort under the #CoachJenStrong name was launched to assist the Stachowicz family during this difficult period. Organizers said the campaign was intended to provide financial assistance while also bringing the local community together around Jen and her family.
The message shared by Coach Abby also expressed gratitude to everyone who had reached out, offered assistance, and supported the family. The family has asked supporters for continued prayers as Jen continues her recovery.
At this time, available information does not confirm that Jen Stachowicz has died, nor does it provide a confirmed cause of death. Any obituary or cause-of-death claim should therefore be treated cautiously until an official announcement is made by her family or another reliable source.
