WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY

  • “Vanessa does not only invest time but she invests emotion in her teaching. Two years training under Vanessa has not only taken my training light years ahead but it has completely changed the way I think. Vanessa has broken down anything and everything that I’ve asked. She focuses on more than just the things that look good. She prioritizes health and movement over everything. She teaches instead of just writing down a workout. There’s an emphasis behind moving well inside and outside of the gym.  She makes me love showing up to the gym and following her program. Thankful for having such a special teacher/trainer/friend.”

    —RM, Firefighter

  • “When I started working with Vanessa, I was 270 pounds, pre-diabetic, in constant pain, unable to sleep properly, and deeply unhappy. My health had spiraled out of control, and I had resigned myself to a life of daily back pain, arthritis medications, and heartburn, believing these struggles were just part of aging. Vanessa changed all that. Through small, specific goals and micro-adjustments in my workouts, diet, and routines, she helped me reclaim my health and my confidence. By teaching me to focus on progress over perfection and to value a pain-free, functional body over just strength, she empowered me to take back my life. In less than six months, I lost over 50 pounds, eliminated my pain and medications, and rediscovered joy in work, movement, and simply waking up each day. Vanessa’s commitment isn’t just professional—it’s a calling, and her dedication to improving lives goes beyond words. I will always be grateful for her role in helping me turn my health around.”

    —SH, Firefighter/Paramedic

  • “Vanessa's support was particularly invaluable as I navigated the challenges of being a postpartum firefighter struggling to regain my strength and fitness. She created personalized plans that not only helped me recover but also made me stronger and improved my cardiovascular fitness. Her knowledge and tailored approach were exactly what I needed during this critical time. What truly sets Vanessa apart is her unwavering positivity and ability to motivate you, even when you feel like you have nothing left in the tank. Her encouragement and belief in my abilities have been a constant source of inspiration. Her wealth of knowledge, personalized approach, and positive attitude make her an exceptional trainer. Thank you, Vanessa, for everything you’ve done to help me improve my quality of life.”
