If you're looking for someone knowledgeable but ALSO patient and genuinely fun to be around, Vanessa is for you! More...

What can I say? Vanessa is the best. I came to her three months ago with a body that was in need of repair, and she answered the call. As a trainer she’s been attentive, consistent, encouraging and disciplned. Her massage therapy is excellent and she has a knack for finding the right spots. I couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you, Vanessa. More...

I've seen Vanessa for massage several times and she is very good at it. She's able to find problem areas, that I didn't even know were problem areas, and treat them properly. She uses various tools to help during the treatment and I find her methods very effective to reduce muscle fatigue and soreness from exercise and sports. Do not hesitate to book with Vanessa!

I have been working with Vanessa for 2.5 years now and I can’t say enough good things about her. When I first began working with her, I had very debilitating back and hip injuries. All I wanted was to feel less pain and gain some strength. Today I feel the strongest I ever have. I have very minimal pain and I have far surpassed my goals with both strength and weight loss. Vanessa is not only knowledgeable in fitness but also integrates nutrition, massage and PT into her sessions. She is the ultimate package and you can’t go wrong working with her.

Vanessa is very attentive to the needs of her client. She’s also very good about making the workout plan fun and I find myself practicing what she trains throughout my non workout days. In general, my opinion is that Vanessa is a very knowledgeable and caring personal trainer who pushes her client to perform their best during their workout sessions. More...

I feel very lucky to have found Vanessa! After dealing with various back and hip injuries, I was anxious about getting back into fitness and I was scared of hurting myself. Vanessa has a wide knowledge base she draws from when tailoring a personal fitness plan. In addition to her mastery of exercise science, she has a deep understanding of physical therapy, injury rehabilitation and nutrition. Vanessa is very clear with her instruction and welcomes feedback and collaboration. I always feel safe in her hands and I am thrilled by how quickly I have seen results! More...

Vanessa is a wonderful online trainer. I did virtual and online training with her. She was always prepared for the session and kept it fun and exciting. I didn't feel comfortable being out because of COVID but Vanessa wanted to make sure I was reaching my goals. I wasn't expecting much from virtual training but noticed a huge improvement in my weight loss and exercise habits because of it. More...

Vanessa is a fabulous trainer and an amazing coach. She is really professional, on time, and was really good at listening to my needs in order to determine what best worked for me and my goals. She can also come to you if you need her to. She can give you a clear vision and help motivate you for your fitness goals. I highly recommend her for coaching and training! More...

Before working with Vanessa I worked with another trainer at Sport and Health. The trainer had focused a lot on my strengths and not as much on my goals. I saw improvements in my body, but not in the areas I was really excited to see improvements in.

Since I’ve been working with Vanessa, I have seen many results in the areas I was looking to see improvements in. I am involved in both partner training and one on one training. Since working with Vanessa, I've lost about 20 pounds total and have never felt so strong. Vanessa has focused on the areas that I really wanted to see improvements in and even more. I don't think I would have ever been able to recreate these results without the personalized attention. More...

I have been a member of Sports & Health for many years. My activity there was use the pool, elliptical, crunches and Row machine; Those are the only places I felt comfortable.
Three years ago I was having pain on my left hip. It was a really bad pain for two years, I was no able to walk properly because of it and the cartilage on the joint deteriorated.
Finally, I had total left hip replacement. After the surgery I was out for three months in PT, which helped me tremendously to learn to walk again.
When I finish my PT I was still having issues just to walk properly to the point where I tripped and fell multiple times. For four months I did nothing to help get better, my PT Mathew suggested to continue exercising with a trainer since I am member of the gym.
I started training with Vanessa, she started focusing on my hip muscles getting them strong, my life has changed since we started my training, I am getting stronger day by day.
I am able to do all kinds of exercises I never thought I could do. She helped me tremendously with my walking, my balance, and with my posture. I have lost three sizes clothing and my big abdomen it is getting smaller.
My body has changed drastically. I have more confidence, I am not scared of the machines, and I am more comfortable in the gym. I am 68 years old and I can do things that other people younger than me can't.
My brain works better; I have more energy.
Vanessa is an excellent human being, very professional, courteous, knowledgeable on her Physical education, I will recommend her to my friends.
I am very thankful to have met Vanessa because she changed my life for better, changed my body and continue teaching me how much I can do if I put my mind to. More...

Before I began working with my trainer Vanessa, I was under the silly impression that weight lifting and gym equipment were mostly for guys. I primarily stuck to cardio workouts like Zumba, hiking, and running to help me lose weight, and struggled with it for a long time. Vanessa helped me learn how to feel comfortable using the equipment at the gym, and how to target my specific goals. As an even bigger surprise to me, I found that eventually I even started enjoying working out. In my little over 2 months working with Vanessa I've lost almost 20lbs and have never felt stronger.

Recently I even started adding back in my cardio exercises in addition to our sessions, and now find I enjoy them more than ever! I've gone on a 2 mile run and 7-mile hike for fun, just because my body can handle it. I haven't felt or looked this great in years, and for the first time I believe I can actually get to my desired fitness level. Thanks Vanessa, it's looking like signing up for personal training may go down as one of the best decisions I ever made! More...

Every session with Vanessa is fun and challenging. She is always pushing her clients to make sure that they progress, while introducing new exercises to keep things exciting. She is a very knowledgable trainer with numerous certifications, a degree, and extensive experience in corrective exercise in a clinical setting. However, what I appreciate most is how genuine she is.
Vanessa truly cares for her clients and that is apparent in every session. Whenever I train with Vanessa I feel challenged and like she is on my team. She is a consummate professional and I would highly recommend her services to anyone searching for a trainer! More...

I have been working with Vanessa for over a year. She has helped me changed my way of approaching fitness and how I view myself. Her personality shines through and pushes me when I feel like I can’t go on. I am so glad I was able to start my fitness journey with her. You will not be disappointed! More...

Vanessa takes her time to get to know your goals and limitations to create the best program for your needs. She has a fun yet professional personality and is able to be personable with you as well. I always leave with a good sweat and look forward to my next session with her. The results I’ve been seeing have been great! She also allows me to train virtually if I am out of town for work which is great for my busy schedule! More...
