Testimonials

Vanessa is a fantastic personal trainer that makes the client's goals the forefront of her training sessions. I've been training with her the past three months and in that time, I've found that I have an overall better sense of well-being as well as significant physical results. She works to communicate and understand what the desired results are, and then creates challenging, yet achievable workouts that lead to phenomenal results. Her easy-going personality makes her very approachable and her enthusiasm is a great motivator each session. Never did I think I would genuinely enjoy working out, but Vanessa has definitely changed that for me. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to shake up their regular workout routine and achieve their personal fitness goals.

I've worked with a few trainers over the past years and none have been as capable, supportive, and challenging as Vanessa. I've been following her workout plans for about six weeks now. While her plans are tough, she is immensely supportive and has me doing things I didn't think I could ever do! While past trainers have just used recycled workout plans with me, Vanessa takes a unique, holistic approach: not only does she create programs catered to your needs, she'll also help you see the relationship between your sleep, work, eating habits, and the physical activity you get in your daily life.

A lot of trainers pride themselves on being able to push their clients far and get the desired results. My work with Vanessa has been fantastic because while she's committed to helping you figure out those goals, she's also warm and deeply committed to your overall well being. This welcoming approach to training has had a deeply positive effect on my relationship to fitness. I don't dread working out anymore because Vanessa not only showed me the ropes and how to push myself, but made me feel at home at the gym as well.

I have had Vanessa as a boot camp instructor and currently as a personal trainer. She provides you with a phenomenal workout whether in a group class or one on one. She is motivating, enthusiastic, intense, and supportive. She takes the time to listen to your goals and creates a plan to help you achieve your ultimate goal.

I have been working with Vanessa one on one for about six weeks and have seen some amazing results. Not only have I lost weight but, I have changed my eating habits, increased my sleep at night, boosted my energy level and improved my self-image. It is hard to explain, but I just feel so good, and I know couldn’t have done it without her!
