Victoria impressed me straight off the bat. I came to Victoria with a twice-reconstructed ACL, meniscus problems, spinal problems (scoliosis surgery with a fused spine and Harrington rod) and agonizing back pain. I had been to see numerous orthopedic surgeons about my various ails, though understanding my problems, none were able to pinpoint what was actually causing them, even after multiple surgeries. On our first meeting Victoria sat me down, and was able break down my issues, and most importantly explained how they were all interconnected, and why they had occurred in the first place. She explained that the hyperextension in all my joints was a big factor for all the injuries I was having, and, importantly, could have in the future. She described how we could work together to build my bodily strength to overcome the problems I was having.
Victoria did not disappoint, in fact she has surpassed my expectations. She developed a program for me that has strengthened all parts of my body (particularly my back and legs), taking into account how my body, in particular, is shaped and molded.
With her vast knowledge of how the body works, I am (finally) understanding how mine works, this is a truly liberating experience.
I have absolute trust in Victoria to guide me. Compared to other trainers I have worked with, her knowledge is second to none.
Victoria listens and pays attention. She is the consummate professional. She has understood what motivates me and constructed a program that is fun and inspiring for me. I can’t wait for my next training session. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have Victoria as my trainer. I feel so much stronger and confident in my body.

She has an amazing knowledge and understanding of physiology and body mechanics, and designed a program to meet my specific needs, goals, and personality. She continually develops new, challenging, and interesting exercises and routines so I look forward to each session, and incorporates a variety of movement, equipment and techniques to continually motivate and empower me.
Best of all, Victoria's vibrant personality, sense of humor and dedication in coaching and supporting me each step of the way have been invaluable, and make working out with her a pleasure. My thighs, my abs, and my biceps all thank you, Victoria!"

"As an amateur soccer player and keen cyclist, my fitness focus was always on cardio - never weight training. However, under Victoria's guidance she tailored a weights regime, which complemented my chosen sports, while also developing my overall strength. Her focus on form, her intimate knowledge of the science of lifting, and the importance of working on flexibility, has collectively enabled me to surpass every goal I've set".

"After having failed my first attempt at summiting the picturesque Half Dome in Yosemite National Park, Victoria put together a personalized program that made my second attempt a success. In the weeks leading up to that second attempt the various workouts she had me go through developed my strength and stamina. She kept the workouts interesting and challenging. I was able to complete the rigorous 20 mile hike which included pulling myself up the infamous cable section to the summit. She was with me every step of the way in the gym and on the trail and I am proud that I accomplished my goal."
