LOOK BETTER, FEEL BETTER, PERFORM BETTER

I started training with Jessica Kalynchuk on January 5th 2026 after the holidays because I wanted to make some positive changes in my life. My goals were to build strength and muscle, tone my body, learn healthier eating habits, and gain confidence using weights safely while living with EDS and MS. I came across one of Jessica’s Facebook posts, and it immediately grabbed my attention because I had been wanting to work with a trainer for a while. What made me feel even more comfortable was her background in kinesiology and her understanding of the body, mobility, injuries, and strength training. One of the tools we used was MyFitnessPal, which really helped me better understand nutrition, calories, protein, carbs, and fats in a way that felt realistic and achievable for my goals. I trained with Jessica for about 4 months, and during that time I gained strength, confidence, muscle, and a much better understanding of how to safely train while being hypermobile from EDS. She helped me learn proper form, avoid injuries, and slowly trust my body again. Living with EDS and MS comes with a lot of physical and mental challenges, and walking into a gym environment honestly felt intimidating at first. Jessica helped me overcome many of those fears through her patience, encouragement, guidance, and genuinely caring personality. You can truly tell she loves what she does and loves helping people, and that’s something that really stood out to me. One moment that really meant a lot to me was when she shared one of my training videos and called me her “client win of the week” after hitting a 100 lb hip thrust despite my own health challenges. Moments like that helped remind me that strength looks different for everyone and that progress should always be celebrated. I truly wouldn’t have come this far without her support, and she will always be a part of my health journey. The staff at Genuine Gym were also incredibly kind, welcoming, and supportive throughout my experience there. I’m walking away from this chapter with so much more knowledge, confidence, strength, and gratitude, and I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for an amazing trainer with both knowledge and heart 🤍

Genuine Athletics is great—always spotless, welcoming staff, and such a strong family-like atmosphere. The equipment is top-notch, well maintained, and constantly being updated. For a Personal Trainer, I can’t recommend Desirae enough! She’s amazing at what she does. From day one, she made me feel comfortable, supported, and motivated to push myself. Her energy is contagious, and she knows exactly how to challenge you while still making workouts fun. If you’re looking for a trainer who will hype you up, hold you accountable, and genuinely care about your progress, Desirae is your girl! 💪✨

I’ve been training with coach Byron for two months now, and I can confidently say it has been worth it. As someone who was just starting out in the gym, not knowing how to properly workout, or the right forms, Byron was able to teach me, the right techniques, and made me more confident working out on my own. Within the few months we’ve been training I’ve seen a lot of progress and I’ve been more confident in my body. Byron treats all his clients like family, and I recommend him to anyone thinking about starting personal training! The gym itself is really nice too, the vibes are good, and the staff ,is all incredibly nice and I’m thankful to be training here!

If you want attentive trainers, real results, and a supportive gym environment, Genuine Athletics is it. I first came here after a friend recommended it over other gyms, and I’m so glad I listened! I've been training with Jess (@_jesswellness) for a few months now, and the experience has been incredible. My goal was to tone up without getting bigger or bulky, and Jess customized a plan just for me, even asking for inspiration photos to match the look I wanted. 36 sessions later, I'm very happy with my results so far. I even signed on for another 36 sessions because the accountability has been worth every penny. Even with a home gym, committing to 3–4 sessions a week here has massively boosted my mood, discipline, and consistency. Jess also tailors workouts based on women’s hormones and energy levels, striking the perfect balance between challenge and recovery. It’s a sustainable and empowering approach to fitness. Plus, the gym is pet-friendly, making it feel extra welcoming. I even brought my dog one day and everyone was so kind! Jess has become a friend too, and our sessions are fun and easy with no awkward silences. Big shoutout to Jason, the owner, who has built a truly supportive community and who has been very welcoming to me since Month 1. Highly recommend if you're serious about fitness (without the intimidation) and want a gym that feels like a second home.

Went to a few sessions with Carlee for massage and it has helped a ton. I've been to a lot of good massage therapists in the past, but she was easily the best. Fixed an issue I've had with my back muscles for 10 years in just two sessions. She was very professional and kind the whole way through from listening to my issues to treatment. The online scheduling was quick and easy, and once I set up my insurance/credit card with the front desk (also doable online) I dont need to worry about settling payment after the session. Excellent experience from start to finish.
