ABOUT MINDFUL BARBELL
You deserve a coach who sees more than your workout.
Mindful Barbell was created around a simple idea: great coaching starts with understanding the person in front of you.
As a coach for 27 years, Jen Speakman has helped adults over 50 build strength, move well, uncover confidence, and stay capable for the lives they want to live.
I didn’t want to build another gym.
I created a space that feels welcoming, intentional & better suited to serve the person you’re becoming. My small-group and semi-private model lets me coach closely.
Because coaching isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s about you as a human, in your season, toward a life that matters.
The goal is simple: help become stronger and move smarter so you can keep doing the things that matter outside the gym.
FOUNDER & COACH
What I believe about coaching.
Good coaching
starts with listening.
What’s really going on in your life matters just as much as what we do in the workout.
Challenge should be appropriate, not arbitrary.
The goal isn’t to push you to be uncomfortable. It’s to guide you to challenge yourself in a smart, sustainable way.
Strength should
serve your life.
We focus on function, not just performance, so that you can move with confidence in your life.

experience
My approach to coaching began when I saw people struggle, not because of their effort, but because they weren’t fully understood.
In 2004, I combined Pilates & strength training in a half treadmill/based classes to support results that lasted. Ever since, every program, every class, & every interaction has been designed to help you build the strength you need to live life on your terms.
I’m passionate, text-based coaching, live settings, connection, & real giving back. I’m involved with local non-profits that empower vulnerable children like you, who challenge yourself & invest in your health, are making an impact.
You’re investing in better health. Progress happens because of everything you do outside the gym, & I’ll be with you for all of it.
A different kind of training environment.
Mindful Barbell isn’t a crowded space. All in a turn out or loud gym packed with machines.
It’s an environment built to be clean, intentional, friendly, and private—designed to help you focus, move well, build strength, improve confidence, & train on your terms.
And yes,
you’ll probably meet Hugo.
