I began working out with Vivian when my husband gifted me with training sessions for my birthday. I gave birth to our first child earlier that year and I was ready to focus on myself again. I could barely do five sit ups when we started! Vivian meets you exactly where you are and provides you with consistent, non-judgmental support. She knows the most effective ways to get you to where you want to be — without it feeling like torture! I’ve always disliked cardio work, but she wove it into my routine in a way I didn’t even realize I was doing it. Beyond keeping an eye on proper form, she always knew when to push me to the next level. Before I even realized I had mastered a set, she would shift my routine so I was always making gains. I knew from experience that a routine and being accountable to someone else would be crucial to my success. Vivian always showed up with a smile and maximized our gym time without overwhelming me. As a new mother, I found our sessions were often the only time in my week that was truly devoted to me and my goals. Though a “number” was never part of my goal, I am now the same weight as I was in high school (when I played many sports). Not only am I physically stronger, I’m happier, more relaxed and more energetic. I’m grateful to Vivian for her support and motivation and blessed to now call her my friend. She is a lovely soul— kind, thoughtful, inspiring and full of joy. There wasn’t a workout where we didn’t laugh! Working with Vivian allowed me to achieve results that I know I would not have on my own!
