I’ve been working with Jess for just over 12months now and when I started I had major back issues.
She has worked on strengthening my core and overall fitness
Jess understands me and is sympathetic to my schedule that often requires flexibility.
What I enjoy most is her ability to push me beyond my comfort level, challenging me both mentally and physically.
I don’t always like the music but its a great place to workout and would recommend Jess to anyone that needs a motivated and professional personal trainer

Jess was a coach at Urban Fitness in Wellington, New Zealand and undertook to be my PT during COVID lockdown. Jess unselfishly gave up her personal time to coach me online at no cost, and we continued this partnership on a formal basis once ‘normality’ returned and restrictions were lifted.I approached Jess because I liked her coaching style and her personality. I have scoliosis which is severe enough to warrant surgery. The serious curve in my back has caused inbalances and wear and tear on joints resulting in a hip replacement and the need for a knee replacement. The combination of mobility and strength programming and Jess’ knowledge of exercise science gave me confidence to attempt movements I would previously have avoided. My increased strength has seen me avoid surgery to date. Urban Fitness members who attended the gym’s Metabolic Conditioning classes which Jess coached, commented on my mobility, strength and ability to lift heavy weights, heavier than people half my age. I was 63 years old.I loved Jess’ honesty and sense of humour; there was always laughter in our sessions. I highly recommend Jess as a Personal Trainer and only wish she was still here with us at Urban Fitness in Wellington, New Zealand.

"Jess has built a programme around me that has helped me realise real results! In a matter of months Jess helped me sort out my diet and exercise and motivated me which resulted in me going down 2-3 shirt sizes. A year and a half later I'm still loving the sessions I have with Jess which push me and help me learn every single week. Mix this with killer music taste and an amazing personality means that I'm having a lot of fun while increasingly becoming more confident and happy with where we have gotten. Jess is kind and caring and knows her stuff so is awesome at making me feel great as I take on new challenges and push a little harder. Jess is easy to work with and adaptable but always offers an incredibly high standard of support including custom built workouts for the week away from her. I rate Jess really highly and I'm very sure you will to."

"As someone who has played high level of sport in younger days, I was not too much of a stranger to the fundamentals of strength and conditioning training techniques. However, I found Jess had an amazing aptitude to customise training to get the best results for how I best performed and made our sessions super enjoyable. She was also super understanding, adaptive and held me very accountable for my training with my busy work/travel schedule."

"Jess Offen is an amazing trainer to say the least. Even more she is a wonderful human being. Training with Jess not only benefits your body but also your mind. Training with her is not only lots of fun - and laughs - but also a measure of your resilience. She has pushed me beyond my comfort zone which has helped me realise my level of endurance. I feel like an athlete in training with her and look forward to our workouts. She kicks my butt and I happily let her do it. I see the results in my stamina, the way my body has changed and it’s all positive. I would recommend Jess’s sessions to anyone who wants to change their outlook to exercise. She is the best decision I made! Thanks Jess you're the best."

"Jess is the best PT I have ever worked with. We spent a lot of time talking about my goals and timelines so that I could smash out my milestones. Her programming and coaching approach is very individualised, and I always felt I was pushed to my limit while feeling listened to. Can not recommend Jess enough for someone who is just starting out in their gym life, or for someone looking to figure out what they might like to compete in. Jess helped me find my passion, and she can help you find yours too!"

I started PTing with Jess in Wellington late 2020 ostensively to get rid of the Covid kilos I’d put on. I’ve spent decades mentally battling my body to lose weight/get fitter but through the alchemy of sessions with her I discovered my body is my ally and as she’d regularly reassure me, I’m stronger than I think. Her support has been unwavering and I trust her 100%. I’ve gone from staggering home after each session and aching for days to walking the Tongariro Crossing this year (aching still featured there too though). Simply put, Jess is awesome, knows what she’s doing and has primo taste in music! My Spotify playlists are popping. Bonus.

"I cannot speak highly enough about Jess Offen. Her approach is professional and targeted towards my identified goals. Jess has a way of extracting effort that pushes within capabilities but enables me to have stretch goals during sessions thus giving more reward than expected. Also, I travel a lot so Jess has her management of my programme split between 'in town' and 'out of town' activities enabling me to maintain my programme remotely. Go Jess. One of my better decisions... Thanks Jess... No BS... your the best."
Pete Mcfarlane
"Jess is about the 10th PT I've had and easily the best!
Each session is tailored and no two sessions are alike so no chance of boredom and no overworking one area of the body. With Jess its a partnership with my health as the key concern to address while she always remains positive. Highly recommended as long as you don't want to take my spot!"
