JESS MENDELSOHN | CERTIFIED PERSONAL TRAINER

I don't believe in one right way to do fitness.

However, I do believe that every single person belongs in the fitness space. My job everyday is to meet my clients where they are, teach them how to adapt, and help them discover what they’re made of.

I want the people around me to truly know that whether they’re in this for powerlifting, longevity, a stacked physique, or to lift their newborn baby without back pain, we all belong in the gym. 

More about me

I have worked in hospitality, technology, and management, but none were the right thing. One thing had always remained constant, since the dawn of Jess: sports and exercise. What began as casual park workouts with friends during COVID turned into the only thing I can imagine doing. I’ve never advertised, my clients find me through word of mouth, and I’ve never looked back. 

I'm a mom of 3 boys, so I know what it's like trying to prioritize consistency with a busy schedule. And I understand better than many how unpredictable and messy life can be.

Get in Touch

Strength training and fitness for real life.

I have a very particular set of skills, skills that include: general strength training, glute growth, hyping people up, joint mobility, revenge bodies, and laughing through the pain.

My approach is personal & fun.

My clients set their goals, I set the program, the hype levels, and we get to work. If life gets in the way and there is an adjustment that needs to be made, I am a master of pivoting, and personalization in real-time. Every aspect of my programming is individual.

I focus on increasing strength with all of my clients, with discretion for what is appropriate for the individual. I am forever asking questions and so excited to learn more about my people every day.

I work with everyone. 

My clientele is incredibly diverse and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I train people who want to get jacked, moms-to-be who aren’t sure how to work out, people working on their bone density, their weight, or their confidence. I especially love working with people who feel like they need to shrink themselves, so that I can show them the joy of taking up space.

Pricing.

Basic pricing is $95/session with package options available, depending on frequency and quantity of sessions purchased. There are many ways to bundle sessions to prioritize cost effectiveness.

Kind Words

“I reached out to Jessica just hoping to feel my best for my wedding day — no grand fitness goals, just wanting to get in shape. She built a workout entirely around my abilities and needs, introducing me to weightlifting, and it completely changed everything. I can honestly say, thanks to her, I will never not lift weights. Because of Jessica I know the transformative power of strength training. She made lifting feel accessible and exciting, gently pushing me to levels I didn't know I was capable of. I found a strength and power within myself I didn't know existed.

More importantly, Jessica trained me through fertility treatments and through my pregnancy. As I nurtured a soon-to-be human, she nurtured me through every workout. During my most vulnerable moments, she tailored every session to precisely what I needed in that exact moment. She is so much more than an amazing trainer — she is someone who will completely change the way you see your own strength.”

—Caress U.
