We made Happy Human for one simple reason: to help you break the cycle of fitness failure.

We know that powerless feeling of your body slowly declining. We also know the frustration of ineffective programs and unrealistic expectations.

Happy Human has helped hundreds of clients make a plan and STICK to that plan. The average client stays with us long enough to see real long-term changes.

These life-changing results come from our trainers. They aren’t just any trainers. They’re, well, how would we describe them? Overachievers? Incredibly compassionate? Total nerds about their profession? How about all of the above.

So, if you want to finally experience the confidence of getting stronger than your 20-year-old self, reversing those sedentary pandemic habits, and putting to rest any fears of brewing chronic health conditions, please click the button below to get started.

Who founded Happy Human?

Happy Human was founded by Amber and Jesse Walker in 2012. Together they’ve built a company that values friendship, professionalism, and lifelong fitness over short-term “transformations.”

We focus on human connection. Our trainers build real relationships, offering personalized, sustainable fitness that supports strength, confidence, and joy—not pressure or perfectionism.

Every Happy Human trainer is certified, experienced, and carefully vetted for empathy, reliability, and professionalism. We only work with trainers who embody our friendly, human-centered values.

Yes. We’re proud to be locally owned and operated in the Twin Cities, serving clients across Minneapolis–St. Paul since 2012.
