Bent Bar Fitness

Jesse helped me get through the worst of the pandemic with her monthly fitness challenges that included activities as well as tips for emotional wellbeing. She was motivating and helped make my fitness routine have psychological as well as a physical benefits.I would highly recommend working with her.

Jesse provides a quality workout every time while keeping a smile on everyone's faces! Her group classes are creative and challenging, she'll always provide adjustments for anyone who needs them, and her positivity is infectious! Her classes are very inclusive and body neutral which makes everyone feel comfortable in the space, plus they are outdoors which has helped greatly through the pandemic. Highly recommended. Thanks Jesse!

I have been training with Jesse for a few months now.Not having exercised for a long time I was apprehensive but when I met and got to know Jesse I knew that she was the perfect coach for me.She is professional and knowledgeable yet kind, patient and understanding.Her encouragement has given me the confidence that I need to work on my physical health and I look forward to going each session. Highly recommend.

I had the pleasure of participating in Bent Bar's Intro to Fitness and Social. Jesse thoughtfully prepared a fitness plan that slowly increased in intensity and allowed for some flexibility while still keeping participants engaged and accountable.Jesse encouraged us to set our goals, pushee us towards, and along the way provided opportunities to reflect.Bent Bar and Jesse provide not just the knowledge and framework for entering and maintaining a fitness journey but also facilitate a mindset that tells participants that fitness is for everyone.I started the program feeling awkward and unsure but now have the base set for a new lifestyle.Thanks, Jesse!I highly recommend Bent Bar Fitness.

Jesse is an amazing trainer and an awesome person to work with.I've been a client for nearing 2 years and have found the evolving fitness programs to be really well tailored to my needs. She keeps in mind injuries, my progress, and even takes the time to work in exercises that I find more fun. She also answers my (many) questions with a great depth of knowledge and good humour. I'm constantly challenged, and it's also really enjoyable.I feel motivated both at the gym and away because Jesse takes the time to check in and provide resources, helping me to build good, sustainable habits. I also can't stress enough how welcoming an environment she creates - I feel comfortable, which helps me try new things and push myself. Also, laughter is a great additional core challenge to any workout!I would recommend Jesse/Bent Bar Fitness to anyone, and, especially due to the supportive and positive motivation, I've found her particularly helpful for getting back into more targeted and rigorous exercise after a long break.

I have worked with Jessie for almost 3 years. Jesse is an awesome trainer- supportive and knowledgeable. I love that she is size-inclusive and queer positive. It really is fitness for EVERY body. Working with a trainer that I feel comfortable with and supported by has been a game changer for me. Highly recommended.

I've been working with Jesse for a year and a half. I feel like a bad-A lifting weights with her! I've definitely gotten a lot stronger and have more confidence in what my body can accomplish. I'd definitely recommend for anyone who wants to get healthy and stronger without the guilt of weigh-ins and pressure for specific eating plans. Highly recommend!

Jesse is an incredibly upbeat, thorough, and kind trainer. I took her Intro to Exercise course while I've been recovering from an injury. It has been an amazing confidence booster and Jesse made the workouts so accessible but still challenging. The workouts slowly progressed in difficulty so there very few moments that I felt like I couldn't do, unless it directly conflicted with my recovering leg. Even then Jesse would work through an alternative for me and even come back the next week with more suggestions! She's also very understanding and not harsh at all. She wants you to achieve the goals you have in mind for fitness and you really feel supported.

Jesse was recommended to me when I was looking for a personal trainer who is LGBTQ+ friendly. I have participated in her monthly walking challenges and also worked with her one-on-one. She is knowledgeable, understanding, and genuinely wants her clients to achieve their goals, at their own pace. She is personable, approachable, and creates a space that feels safe to discuss any obstacles keeping you from experiencing physical and mental wellbeing. I have never felt more comfortable with a trainer than I do with Jesse, I would highly recommend working with her to support your fitness and movement goals!
