What our clients have to say about Get Healthy with Vanessa:

First of all, I’m no stranger when it comes to the gym or physical fitness activities involving strength and endurance training. Considered a 'Gym Rat' for 30+ years, I’ve always spent long hours engaged in a variety of workouts and felt I pushed myself physically to achieve 'all' that I could. For the most part, I thought I had set goals commensurate to my efforts. That was until I met 'Coach' and I began following her tailored series of relatively short, yet high intensity, light weights & resistive bands, strength circuit exercises and her endurance training workouts. Vanessa ('Coach') and TRX are 'force multipliers' in my physical fitness training. 'Coach' through her constant encouragement and infectious positive attitude has been the difference in improving my overall attitude about nutrition, wellness and physical fitness!! I strongly recommend Vanessa’s Nutritional, Wellness and Fitness consultation and training for EVERYONE—you will love and be thankful of the results. Thanks Vanessa for the opportunity to work with you—you’re an amazing trainer and 'Coach'! Glenn P., Centreville, VA
I'm an aging (over 50) endurance athlete with over 10 years of competition experience. I compete in triathlons and various running events up to and including marathons and Ironman competitions. I've had good success but always struggled with proper nutrition and weight control. Vanessa has been a friend and fellow gym rat for many years and I've always respected her commitment to healthy living and her nutrition knowledge. I finally decided get serious and have her help me develop a plan. The results have been amazing. I eat more now than I was before but have become leaner and stronger. Her nutrition coaching combined with my training regiment allowed me to set a PR in a half Ironman event last year. But you certainly don't have to be an athlete to benefit. I recommend her coaching to anyone who wants to learn how to become leaner and feel better - for life. Pete B., South Riding, VA
'I hate strength training, it bores me.' That was always my standard line whenever anyone brought up the importance of strength training. I’d tried working out on my own or along with an exercise video. I’d tried the large classes at my gym. I got bored, I got hurt and I never could maintain a program. So, I decided to try TRX suspension training with Vanessa. What a difference! The TRX is a body-weight training system that you can easily tailor to your strength and fitness level. The suspension aspect allows you to work multiple parts of your body at once, but without sacrificing form. The best part of all is that Vanessa’s classes make it all challenging, yet still fun. Vanessa provides a supportive, non-competitive atmosphere that allows the challenge to come from within. I’ve been able to stick with the program and I am happy to strength train for the first time.

Vanessa helped me improve my nutrition which resulted in a huge improvement in my running. She took the time to understand my nutrition before she recommended areas where I could make better choices. Her advice not only resulted in weight loss but, more importantly, gave me more energy and also allowed me to recover from hard workouts quicker. Vanessa's genuine concern about seeing me succeed also kept me motivated to achieve my goals. Dave J., Bethesda, MD
After my shoulder surgery, I had limited mobility and recovery was long. I could not exercise the way I was used to, and I knew I had to take some drastic measures as not to gain weight from lying around waiting to heal. I called my friend Vanessa and she was superwoman in disguise. She immediately put together a nutrition plan for me that was not only doable but also fun and easy. Vanessa even helped me with some healthy choices for when I am working the night shift. After a month, I was shocked at how good I felt and the weight I had lost. She always stresses that this is not short term but a lifetime goal to eat healthy and stay fit! Jo H., Centreville, VA
