About Lavender Lifting
Hi, I’m Jess (she/her), and I am excited to share the joy of strength training with you! For years I tried different forms of exercise. I hated running, I liked kickboxing but felt it was hard to see progress (and was expensive!), I found group classes to be overwhelming… Then one day I started lifting with just some dumbbells at home and my life has been changed forever! In 2020 I started my long journey to become a strength coach and ACE Certified Personal Trainer.
My background as a community organizer has played an unexpected role in my approach, which is focused on helping you figure out your path so you can build a life-long positive relationship to exercise.
In a world where we’re constantly told to be smaller, it feels good to grow.

Training with Jess has been such a game changer! Navigating fitness and chronic pain can be tricky, but Jess has been incredible about meeting me where my body is at while also helping me push towards my goals. I feel so much more confident in the gym, stronger in my daily life, and more connected with my body.

Jess is great at noticing what your needs are right away. She’s enthusiastic and knowledgeable about how to best fit your plan around your lifestyle and she’s quick to notice when something she’s programmed needs attention so that you get the best results. A joy to work with

Working with Jess has completing changed my relationship with exercise – I needed structure and accountability and she provides that, but so much more. Jess is non-judgmental and patient, willing to let me move at my own pace and fit working out into my life as it is, which means that I’ve been more consistent longer term than I ever thought possible. I actually miss working out when I don’t, which would have been unthinkable a couple years ago!

Working with Jess has completely changed my relationship with fitness. This is the first time in my adult life that I’ve worked out consistently (and actually enjoyed it)! Jess met me where I was and helped me build gym and fitness confidence from the ground up. She’s been incredibly encouraging and patient, while also teaching me how to strength train in a way that makes sense for me. (Cont’d next slide)

(cont’d from previous) I’ve learned so much about how and why to do each movement, and I’m seeing real progress. It’s been so refreshing to work with someone who prioritizes encouragement over “tough love” and recognizes that fitness is about more than just weight loss. Jess creates a supportive, educational, and empowering training environment, and I’m so grateful! I highly recommend training with Jess.
