It's easy to get started:

Get your personalized training program
After your consultation, you will receive a personalized strength, endurance, and balance training program.
Join classes or private sessions
Based on your needs, drop into our small group classes (10 or fewer participants) or schedule private coaching sessions.
I like how flexible Jean is and that she's willing to come up with a plan for me even if I don't give a lot of input. I tend to have a bit of decision fatigue from other areas of my life and I love not having too many choices in the session. I also really like how Jean is able to challenge me without using any aggressive tactics. I always shy away from anything that feels remotely shame-based or bullying and I have never gotten even a hint of that from her style. I also appreciate her expertise in body mechanics and weight training, I have always wanted to get into that, but have been too intimidated to try at a gym.

"I am not well disciplined so the convenience of working out at home is huge. I really admire Jean's patience and acceptance of the varied styles of each member. And, I appreciate her thoughtful considerations of all our aches and pains and the great adjustments that you offer."
-Mary C, member since 2017
What I really like about the classes is how Jean teaches - she's wonderful, competent, with clear instructions and cares about adapting exercises to equipment available and physical limitations. She has a relaxed but precise approach with expertise. The group configuration is very sweet and fun.

Get strong and healthy with a fun community from the comfort of your home.
My name is Jean Blomo and I founded Genuine Strength Fitness Coaching. I am constantly learning and striving to provide the best possible experience for my clients because I know that the fitness industry is not the most inclusive, welcoming place.
The science is clear: Building and maintaining muscular strength, cardio fitness, and good balance helps you live a long and healthy life. And, we know that having strong social connection is essential to our overall wellness, too.
But finding the time to get to the gym for a class or meet up with a friend for a hike is hard! It just doesn’t happen when life gets complicated. And it’s discouraging when you have pain or limitations that you are unsure how to work around safely.
Group strength classes and private coaching sessions with Genuine Strength address several barriers to fitness: Exercises are modified and personalized to your needs, you get energy and support from fellow fitness friends, and you save lots of time by joining from your home.
We keep things simple and fun by using basic, affordable equipment you can easily store at home: A yoga mat, resistance bands, and dumbbells or kettlebells. Participants have often joined classes while traveling, too, so you can continue your routine even when you’re away from home!
Our fitness philosophy is centered around building strength and confidence in what your body can do, and having fun while challenging ourselves physically and mentally. We hope you join us!
