Hi, I’m Avery!

I’m a trans, hypermobile personal trainer based in Minneapolis. I’ve been strength training for over a decade, and spent two years training at a professional circus program in NYC.

I have unstable joints, so I pay close attention to how I exercise to avoid injuries. I apply this thoughtful approach to all my clients.

I especially enjoy working with clients who are grappling with their body’s limitations and are ready to get curious about how to sustainably work with those limitations.

  • Incremental: Move at the pace your body needs to move.

  • Embodied: Pay attention to your body’s signals while working out.

  • Consent-based: I offer suggestions, but you are the final decision-maker about how you want to move at any given moment.

My approach is:
