About Jesse
I pride myself on providing the best value in Denver. Included in the price of your workouts is an entire custom plan built out on my branded app. So, for example, if you can only afford two workouts per week but want to do five, I've got you covered. You'll have three more workouts tailored to our plan and your ability level right there in the scheduling app. I have an extensive background in fitness, including college athletics, a Bachelor's Degree in Exercise Science, published research in the field of kinesiology, two years working as a Physical Therapy Technician, and four years as a Personal Trainer.
My favorite client story
In 2021, a new client came to me saying that he couldn't exercise without hurting his back. We found that his core and low back muscles were weak and his hips were tight. Within 3 months, he was golfing, skiing, and working out with ZERO pain. Two years later, he had a catastrophic shoulder injury while jumping over a fence playing tennis. He ended up tearing his rotator cuff, separating his AC joint, tearing his labrum, and breaking his humerus. A year after that, we had him back to full strength, doing 15 pull ups, and in excellent shape. Obviously, after the shoulder injury I worked very closely with his Physical Therapist and Orthopedic Surgeon, but it was amazing to be a part of this process.
My favorite exercise
The split squat. Balance and single leg strength keep you athletic!
My favorite quote
"The magic you're looking for is in the work you're avoiding."
My training philosophy
Balance is the key to a great training program but also to a great life. I never push overly restrictive diets but instead strive to find a way to help you to achieve your goals while still being allowed to live your life. This has been repeatedly demonstrated to lead to longer lasting results.
My training experience
After getting my bachelor's degree in Exercise Science, I worked as a Physical Therapy Technician for 2 years before becoming a personal trainer 4 years ago. I have worked with well over a hundred clients from different backgrounds, managed a gym, and finally started my own business, Real Honest Fitness. Fitness is my passion, education is my foundation, and helping you achieve your goals is my purpose.

Real Honest Fitness is the BEST company around for results! I live in another state and Jesse was able to help me get all the results I asked for. My physical health, mental health, and day-to-day life, have been completely transformed. Give Jesse a call and get actual results from a trainer who cares!
Working with Jesse at RHF has been such an amazing experience for me. As a female with scoliosis, lifting weights has always been intimidating; Jesse has been an incredible coach by building up my strength and confidence to be able to take my fitness to new levels. During the sessions, he is very attentive and makes adjustments based on how my body is functioning that day. Jesse makes me looking forward to working out and I appreciate him so much!
Jesse has greatly helped me throughout my fitness journey. He is timely, professional and really knows his stuff! Jesse has assisted me with staying on track with my workouts and I have seen great improvements in my mobility and strength. You can tell he is really passionate about what he does and I appreciate the attention to detail in the personalized program he has set up for me. All for a very affordable price. I would strongly recommend working with real honest fitness!
I found out about Real Honest Fitness/Jesse through another trainer in the Denver area. My friend informed me that he has proven success at getting his clients to see real results regarding what I was looking for: Strength, specifically my lower body. Without a doubt, Jesse delivered on that. I signed up for three months, with strength workouts four days a week. He was able to keep a guy who hates lifting: committed, and interested, for every single workout. He was very communicative and would actually look at the notes I would write in the app which most trainers do NOT even glance at. He cares for each of his clients and it shows through his passion/determination to get you to exceed your goal. I highly recommend Real Honest Fitness/Jesse for your personal training needs. I decided to stick with him for the long haul! Bring on more weights!!! :)
Great training, great results. Finally, a fitness trainer who goes beyond the physical training. Never been more mentally resilient!
Jesse is a great trainer, he was able to work with my Physical Therapist to build an exercise program that helped me recover from injury and ensure proper form as I relearned how to use my muscles correctly! Go to Jesse if you are getting started, returning from an injury or just want to ensure you are using proper form!

Jesse had a truly life-changing health and fitness impact on my life. When I started training with him, I was overweight and unable to find any recovery solution from a recent back surgery. Jesse took the time to go through my entire surgical report and came to each training session with a customized game plan to reconstruct my physical framework. Within 6 months, I was in the best shape of my life (at 40). He did it all over again two years later when I had significant shoulder surgery. His preparation and reliability are unmatched and he's always in a great mood, ready to work. He is passionate about what he does and it is impossible not to feel motivated around him. An all around exceptional guy who I cannot recommend highly enough.
Jesse is an amazing trainer. It should be noted that I’m a senior and he was extremely knowledgeable about the best workout for my age group. He has a great deal of experience in the world of sports and understands injuries etc. I am in excellent shape due to the phenomenal workouts with Jesse. I would have complete confidence recommending him to any age group.
