Have I helped you? I would love it if you leave a testimonial here!

Lea is an absolute gift! She is everything I never knew that I needed. I had been trying to lose weight, feel better, look better and all the things but was not successful. Lea not only educated me about strength training and showed me what I am capable of but she takes it a step further and cheers for me sometimes louder than I cheer for myself. She has empowered me in so many ways. —Kristina H.

I’ve worked with Lea for a few years and seen improvement in my nutrition, strength & running. She never commands you; she just shows you how to improve through work. Lea helps you find the best version of yourself and guides you there. She is uniquely talented at coaching, listening, and sharing her vast knowledge of fitness and nutrition. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to improve their health. — Rebekka G.

Lea is an excellent trainer! If you're looking for real guidance in actual strength training - not just cardio with weights - then Lea is perfect. She's patient, encouraging and offers great workouts at a reasonable price. Her studio is also in a small home gym, but it never feels crowded or unorganized or too hot or cold. I'm glad I found her! —Alexandria S.

Lea came alongside, highlighted my wins, reframed my challenges for success, and empowered me to take action with the things in my life that I'm struggling with. Her expertise shines through her enthusiastic approach. Working with her has been a significant improvement in my health journey, as well as supporting me to achieve my personal goals.—Stella P.

This training program was amazing and helped me reach my goal of walking my first half marathon. Every aspect of training is included - physical, mental, endurance, guidance, expertise, support, and encouragement- professionally and thoroughly. I couldn't recommend this more!—Lisa R

Lea does not play, ya'll! She is fierce in her knowledge and intentional in getting her clients to where THEY asked to be! It wasn't her idea, remember? Ouch. The #shredshed is the most adorable place I think I've ever worked out and puts my attempted mock of a workout room to shame. She's taught me a ton and is always willing to help. If you get the opportunity to train with her, you will not be sorry. You'll see results!—Natalie M.

I would highly recommend Lea as a personal trainer. She is always positive and encouraging. I would not be where I am on my physical journey if it were not for Lea—Connie M.

Lea is absolutely amazing. She is organized and comes up with really good workout plans for me. I've had problems with my knees, so she has helped me strengthen the muscles around my legs to help my knees during my runs. I have noticed I feel stronger on my runs, and I don't tire as easily as before. I highly recommend Lea to anyone who is looking for someone to help them with their fitness and nutrition.—Isela S.

Lea carefully plans for the individual's fitness level and goals. She encourages you every step of the way. Even though I sometimes whine about what I believe can be done, she knows what I can actually do. I highly recommend her!—Jessica J.

Lea is a fantastic trainer and I would recommend her to anyone. She trains me online, which is perfect because I have a hectic schedule. She is the most patient and understanding trainer I have ever had, and I'm sure I'm not an easy client with my hectic schedule. Lea motivates, encourages, and designs any workout you could possibly need. If you are looking for someone who will get you on the right path to where you want to be, fitness- and lifestyle-wise, Lea is the trainer for you.—Makenzie S.

I reached out to Lea for help with my running and fitness it has been a wonderful collaboration since. She really listens to me and adjusts my program with regard to how I feel or how busy my life gets. Always positive, she motivates and lifts me up when I feel like giving up. I've worked with coaches in the past, but rarely did I look forward to a personal training session as much as I look forward to seeing Lea each week- workout goes by fast as we talk just about anything under the sun, I get a list of exercises to do for a following week and a dose of advice and motivation. Thank you for everything you do!—Alla A.

Thank you, Lea, for taking the time to really be responsive to my needs in training for where my goals are. You are the right kind of positive in my life to get through that workout struggle. And seeing the self-improvement thanks to your training is the cherry on top.—Cathy P.

Lea is a great coach, very personable, and on top of my training program. Willing to take the time to answer questions and ensure you understand the foundations of everything. I love the fact that it is a one-on-one program with her. I don't feel like I'm getting lost in a group.—Jon H.

BUT WAIT… THERE’S MORE!

Sue’s commitment to strength training shows up in the data. After being diagnosed with osteoporosis, she spent two years with me lifting consistently with a progressive program.
Her latest DEXA scan showed no signs of osteoporosis, and even her doctor was amazed at the improvement in her bone mass.
If you’ve been told that bone loss is inevitable, strength training might prove otherwise. I’ll show you how.

“I felt so strong on my nine miles this morning and I completely attribute that to you.”
When a client connects how they feel on the run to the strength work behind the scenes, that’s a win worth celebrating.
If you want to run strong and feel the difference, I’ll help you get there with a plan that supports every mile.

“My first workout with Lea today, but it was so much more than that. Lea listened to my concerns and gave me options. She took my input and gauged where I was at physically. After practicing the exercises and going over form and posture, we had a plan.”
It wasn’t just a session. It was the start of a partnership.
If you want coaching that listens first and personalizes everything after, let’s build your plan.

“Getting the DEXA (with that fantastic bone density reading, along with the fat loss)… it just feels like maybe just maybe I’m turning a corner.”
Real change backed by data. Lean mass, fat loss, and bone health, all moving in the right direction.
If you want results that show up in the mirror and in the numbers, I’ll coach you there.

“I never thought strength training was for me, but I really love it now.”
Sometimes the hardest part isn’t doing the workout. It’s believing you belong there. This client gave strength training a shot and found a whole new sense of enjoyment, and empowerment.
If you’ve ever thought “that’s not for me,” I’ll help you discover what is.

“She helped me prepare for my half marathon. Super knowledgeable, patient, and kind.”
She didn’t need to train harder. She needed to train smarter.
If you’ve got a goal in sight, I’ll help you get to the start line strong.

“I can see a positive shift in my self-image and confidence in who I am since I started working with you.”
This wasn’t just physical change. It was identity-level growth.
If you’re ready to feel strong in your body and your mindset, I’ll support that journey.

“Thank you for being such a wonderful stand in my life for always focusing on the positive.”
This client didn’t need more advice. She needed someone who could help her see her own strengths.
If you’re looking for positivity that’s real and useful, I’ll help you build it.

Norris, 83, is moving with more strength, confidence, and control, and doing things many people half his age avoid.
He started training with me two years ago after a fall left him with a fractured elbow and surgery. Determined to rebuild, he committed to twice-weekly sessions focused on strength and stability.
If you want to keep doing what you love (or get back to it) as you age, I’ll help you stay strong, capable, and steady.

“I actually was thinking during my run today just how very positive you are, Lea.”
That kind of energy makes consistency feel possible.
If you’re looking for a coach who helps you stay grounded and hopeful, I’m here.

“In the past I have had unrealistic goals... I feel the plan you created for me is doable and sustainable.”
She didn’t need more pressure. She needed a plan that finally fit her life.
If you’re ready for sustainable progress that feels like a match, I’ll help you get there.

“When I first got the Achilles news, she has helped me tremendously to continue training.”
Injury didn’t end her progress. It just changed the path.
If you need help adjusting your training when life throws a curveball, I’ve got you.

Jessica completed her marathon strong and confident
Years ago, she trained for a marathon but was sidelined by injuries before she could finish. Last year, she came back with a smarter approach: build a base of strength along with the miles. This time, she crossed the finish line with pride!
If you’ve got unfinished goals or a comeback story to write, I’ll help you do it differently, and do it right.

“Love the blog. And the workout snacks are a hit. My sister is posting them at the office.”
Simple changes don’t just work. They spread.
If you want habits that stick and inspire others, let’s start small.

“Tapping into Lea Genders’ energy is a goldmine.”
The plan mattered, but the energy behind it made it stick.
If you’re ready for coaching that brings both structure and spark, let’s talk.

“DEXA results were phenomenal! I’m so excited! Thank You!”
That kind of result doesn’t come from guesswork, it comes from consistent effort, smart strategy, and the right support.
My coaching isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about results that show up in your life and your numbers.
If you want measurable results when you train with intention, message me to learn more about coaching.

“Aside from being super knowledgeable, she is patient, kind, and a wonderful friend.”
That’s the kind of coach who doesn’t just write workouts. She walks beside you.
If you want support that’s smart and human, I’m here for it.

“My trainer taught me the importance of reframing. She’s so dope!”
Mindset is a skill. And she learned how to use it.
If you want to shift how you see obstacles, I’ll help you train that muscle.

“Fat loss, improved awareness, a mindset shift, and a boost in confidence,” that’s what she walked away with.
When asked what changed during the six-week challenge, She named the results that matter most: clarity, consistency, and a stronger sense of self.
If you want results that go beyond the scale, coaching can help you build the habits that get you there.

She broke the all-or-nothing mindset and learned to train based on how she feels, not just what’s on the plan.
A high-achieving professional used to push through no matter what, but that often led to burnout, stress, or stopping altogether for weeks at a time. Now, she adjusts with intention, choosing lower-intensity walks when needed instead of skipping or overdoing it. That’s what long-term consistency looks like.
If you’re ready to build flexible habits that last, I’ll help you learn how to listen to your body and still get results.

“The thought of starting can be overwhelming without the right coach who encourages you and pushes you to do things you never thought were possible.”
That’s what made the difference for this client: having someone in her corner to support her and challenge her just enough.
If you’ve been stuck at the starting line, I’ll help you take the first step, and keep going.

“Without your leadership, planning, knowledge, and encouragement I would still be doing the same workouts I’ve been doing for years. This challenged me and I am forever grateful.”
She stepped out of her comfort zone and into a challenge that changed her. Now she’s still running, and plans to keep going as long as her body lets her.
If you’ve hit a plateau, I’ll help you find your next level.

“I can tell you unequivocally that the time and money I’ve spent with Lea has been worth every penny and then some.”
She got more than just workouts. She got results, confidence, and lasting change.
If you’ve been thinking about hiring a trainer, this might be your sign to take the next step.

“My 91-year-old dad just ordered a TRX because I showed him the exercises we do.”
Her consistency inspired her family. Strength spreads.
If you want habits that lead by example, I’ll help you build them.

“Truly, this may be the first time in 66 years I have observable muscles. You’re a miracle worker.”
She didn’t think visible strength was in the cards, but consistent training proved otherwise.
If you want to feel (and see) the payoff of your effort, I’ll help you get there.

“Training is going well. It doesn’t feel like I am doing too much. I’m pleased I’m already getting faster and I like having the schedule to follow.”
Sustainable progress isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what works, for your body and your life.
If you want to train smarter without burning out, I’ve got you.

“Program is going great. I notice my conversational pace is getting faster and my strength is increasing.”
When running gets easier and strength shows up in the day-to-day, the plan is working.
If you’re ready for progress you can feel, I’ll guide you every step.

“In my opinion, what you really need to know about Lea is that she’s super knowledgeable in all things running and strength training, with great communication skills on top of that. But what maybe I like best about Lea is her super supportive approach with clients, which I know firsthand. She’s just great.”
Coaching isn’t just about knowledge. It’s about connection.
If you’re looking for a coach who supports you like a teammate, I’ll meet you where you are.

“Hard work pays off. It does help to have an awesome running coach like Lea.”
Effort matters, but guidance makes it achievable.
If you’re ready to train with purpose and support, I’ll help you make it happen.

“I ran a 10K today with two friends and knocked almost 7 minutes off my time. I credit your plan and the strength training you included. Thank you!”
Shaving minutes off a race time isn’t luck, it’s planning, effort, and the right mix of training.
If you’ve got a performance goal, I’ll help you get there stronger and smarter.

“My blood pressure was great and my doctor asked what I was doing, and asked if I had a trainer. He could tell.”
Real change shows up in more than just your reflection.
If you want results your doctor notices, I’ll coach you toward strength that supports your whole health.

“I’ve been losing body weight and going up in weight on the bench press. Started at 240 lb, now 213. Bench went from 200 to 265. I took the knowledge and advice from your videos and applied it to my training and it’s working.”
That’s 27 pounds down and 65 pounds up on the bar, just from applying what he learned through my YouTube videos.
If you’re ready to train with purpose and get real results, I’d love to help.

“I really enjoyed learning about physical tips, but also the mental and psychological aspects, which I never thought about, but now I see how they fit into the whole concept of fitness.”
True fitness is more than just the physical.
If you’re ready to connect the dots between mindset, movement, and progress, I’ll help you build the full picture.

“I am excited about all the tools I have learned to use... you can't be 100% perfect all the time. Don't beat yourself up... get right back to the program.”
That right there is the shift that makes habits sustainable. Progress, not perfection. My coaching gives you the tools and the support to stay consistent, even when things don’t go perfectly.

“The consistency of your posts and the balanced approach you take, it’s relatable and doable. Plus, you have a sincere and authentic voice. Your compassion comes through. I am grateful for you.”
She didn’t just see herself in the content—she felt supported by it.
If you’re looking for a coach who makes it make sense, I’ll meet you with honesty and heart.

“I was the strong one in the group. I unloaded a lot of suitcases and ice chests and walked on uneven ground while carrying heavy stuff. I also had to open all the jars, thanks to you!”
Strength training doesn’t just stay in the gym. It shows up when you need it most.
If you want to be the strong one in your group, I’ll help you build that.

“I hope you know how much you and your training mean to me. Words cannot express my gratitude to you.”
Sometimes it’s not just about the workouts. It’s about feeling seen, supported, and stronger in every part of life.
If you’re ready for a coaching relationship that means something, I’m here.

“Lea is an amazing coach. I was a part of her training group a couple years ago. I learned so much that has helped me make running a sustainable habit.”
She didn’t just train for a race, she built something that lasts.
If running is something you want to make sustainable, I’ll show you how to do it with joy, not burnout.

“Thank you so much for working with me... I know I pay you, but your attentiveness and energy and support is priceless. I am so glad I found you.”
The right coach does more than deliver a plan. They show up in ways that matter.
If you’re looking for support that feels personal and professional, you’re in the right place.

“I did an hour walk in shorts. Probably doesn’t seem like much, but I haven’t left my house in shorts in several years. That might not seem significant, but it was for me today.”
This wasn’t just a walk, it was a powerful act of confidence.
If you want to feel more comfortable and capable in your own skin, I’ll help you take that step.

“Thank you for helping me stay accountable and stick to it.”
Showing up consistently is a win worth celebrating.
If you’re tired of starting over, I’ll help you keep going.

“My mom is going to add exercises to her day.”
My client started with short strength workouts. Her mom followed her lead.
If your habits could create a ripple effect, would you start today?

“I really enjoy having you as a trainer. You really sliced the whole task into small bites and gave great guidance throughout. I love that you give grace where needed without sacrificing the integrity of the process.”
It wasn’t just the workouts, it was how they were delivered.
If you want a coach who brings both structure and flexibility, we’ll work well together.

“Lea, I can’t tell you how grateful I am to have someone as dedicated, knowledgeable, and caring as you. It’s a gift.”
Some people sign up for a trainer. Some find a coach that feels like a partner.
If you want guidance that feels personal, professional, and consistent, I’ll meet you there.

“Lea, I know you always say I did it, but you have to share the credit. This is a result of what you pour into me. I definitely reflect my trainer.”
Coaching is a two-way mirror. What she accomplished reflects what she was supported to believe and achieve.
If you’re ready to reflect your own strength back to yourself, I’ll help you get there.

“I'm really just proud of myself for sticking with the program and doing what's assigned 4 days a week! That's so much better than anything I've done before.”
Consistency beats perfection every time.
You don’t need a complete overhaul, just a plan you can actually follow and the support to keep going.
If you’re ready to build real momentum and feel proud of your progress, my coaching program is designed for exactly that.

“Your training plan gave me a lot of confidence and I appreciate all the extra guidance… what to do on rest days, how to run hill repeats, how to pay attention to what I was eating without following a strict diet. All of it was useful, manageable, and straightforward. Following your program meant I didn’t get injured and finished strong on race day. I would recommend it to anyone looking to do what I did.”
It wasn’t just a plan, it was a system that kept her strong, prepared, and injury-free.
If you want a straightforward training approach with flexibility built in, I’ll walk you through every step.
