If you've been looking for a sign to start your fitness or health journey, this is it!! Training with Vanessa has truly been life changing and the best investment towards myself. A few months ago I was in a bad place-I WFH and was going from being at my desk all day mentally drained to laying down with no energy and getting bad sleep day after day. I've always been a bit overweight but I had put on an extra 20 lbs, and at my heaviest ever I just felt uncomfortable in my skin. I would eat takeout for most meals and would randomly feel limb numbness or feel winded doing simple tasks. That's when I found V and everything changed. The workouts are challenging but in a good way! TBH the gym was always so intimidating to me but Vanessa will show you how to use the equipment, ensure you have proper form & adjust weight as you get stronger. On top of that she's just an awesome, funny person so the sessions are genuinely fun!! I highly recommend signing up for the program with the meal plan as well! I was scared of so much change at once but I've learned just how much nutrition matters alongside the exercise. It's worth it! She will be on top of you but I only ever felt encouraged and motivated to do better--never guilt tripped and that means a lot to me Now my clothes fits better, I'm getting my confidence back, I'm sleeping better, my digestion improved, I don't always feel bloated, my labs improved, I feel stronger ...the list goes on and on !! To this day my family is shocked (and impressed) to see me drinking water consistently and cooking my own meals! I went from not knowing how to cook like at all to now enjoying the learning process and excited to try new recipes. I appreciate everything Vanessa has done for me and taught me in the last few months. I've hit so many personal milestones already, loving the progress I've made so far & look forward to seeing how much more I can accomplish !! read more

I had hit a major slump since Covid and struggled trying to find ways to lose my pandemic weight. I've tried those boot camps and it exhausted my body in a negative way, I didn't see progress and I was extremely drained from it. When I tried finding personal training I was contacted by Vanessa via Self Made Training in LB. She taught me how to portion my meals, never in a million years I thought I'd get full off of smaller meals through out the day. Her approach in training isn't the hardcore military style, she works with you and evaluates how your body is able to manage. I hurt my ankle outside of training and she took it into consideration and made sure the exercises didn't stress my ankle. I recommend training with Vanessa, she checks in on you to make sure you stay on track to meet your goals. read more

Vanessa is an amazing dedicated trainer! She's helping me reach my goals faster than expected

After 6 weeks of training with Vanessa I can say was the best choice I have made. After trying some diets and still struggled to lose the weight, I can honestly say I feel better of this lifestyle that I will continue to adapt to. She provided me with a meal plan which honestly wasn't so hard and it was still good. Working out with her she motivated me and gave me that push and accountability I needed. Also, conversations were always good. Lol. I now feel like can continue on this path to continue to meet the goal I want. She made me STRONGER!! And I will miss working out with her. read more

VGathletics - You see this before and after, this was hard work! - Trainers Near Me - Long Beach, California

So... decided one day I wanted to make a change to my life- wanted to get moving and get healthy and lose weight. Sounds cliche enough right? Well it wasn't a new epiphany for me either. I've always been athletic and known how to eat healthy, but I've never known how to stay consistent and how to really make a lifestyle change that could stick. One day, I scrolled through IG and fatefully came across Vanessa and took a leap of faith and decided to sign up. Vanessas prices are competitive compared to other trainers that I have researched and she requests payment up front for 3 training sessions a week for 4 weeks (length of session depends on how fast you move through her sets). Now, I used to be a cardio bunny, but the biggest thing for me was learning how to weight lift with her and use all those intimidating machines at the gym. She pushes you as you train and we focus on different body parts each session like shoulders/arms, back, butt/hamstrings and then I do cardio and abs on my own. Learning to have a good balance between weight lifting and cardio has been a GAME CHANGER. I started my journey two months ago and Ive been training with Vanessa for one month and I am down TWENTY POUNDS so far. I literally cried. Not only have gym sessions changed for me, but she also gives you a guideline of how you should eat, how frequently and what you should eat. I have been sticking to it and I haven't felt like I've been starving. I've been more energetic and felt satisfied. It truly isn't a diet, it's clean and healthy diet that is intuitive. I am a ways away from my goal, but I know I'll get there. Vanessa checks up on me on a daily basis through the day to keep me on track. I'm getting stronger physically and mentally on a daily basis and I'm happy. Feeling motivated now? Hit her up and see for yourself! read more

Working out with Vanessa been game changer I'm 49 and feeling my best! I had never seen results until I started training with her, She's the real deal!! Highly Recommend Her!!!!!! read more

Vanessa is a knowledgeable, motivating, passionate trainer who I am more than blessed to have in my life. I enjoyed working out before but now I love it even more.

I would recommend her to all people looking to get fit and be healthy. Thanks Vanessa for all that you do. YOU ROCK!!! read more

I decided to get a personal trainer to help me get back into the routine of working out everyday after I had my daughter. I was having a difficult time leaving my daughter to go to the gym. I've been working out for the past 15 years of my life prior to having my daughter and I just couldn't get myself back in the gym afterwards. Therefore, I looked for some help! I'm so thankful I reached out to Vanessa to help me out. She gave me the daily sometimes hourly (lol) encouragement to get my booty in the gym and also to eat healthy. It wasn't easy but I did it, thanks to her help! My body feels tighter and way more lean than before in just one month! She's a dedicated personal trainer who truly cares about her clients and it shows in my results read more

VGathletics - Progress Pictures: May 2022 - August 2022 - Trainers Near Me - Long Beach, California

Hands down the best investment I've made. I highly recommend my trainer Vanessa. I've been training with her for 6weeks and I am down 18lbs! I'm still in shock with my fast results. I wouldn't have gotten this far without her help and knowledge. In 2020 I started working from home & I got lazy and gained some weight and for months I tried doing it on my own, but I gave up because I wasn't being consistent and I was always feeling tired with no energy and using any excuse and that's when I knew I wanted help and luckily I was able to start training with Vanessa and started to see results. She's a good trainer, motivational, encouraging, understanding and she explains everything. Now 6 weeks later I have more energy and motivated to continue to stay active. I recommend her to anyone that is beginning or retuning back to a healthy lifestyle, especially anyone who would like to work with someone helpful, patient and flexible! read more

I joined Vanessa's online program. She sent me a meal plan and trained me through this very cool and easy to use app. She messaged me throughout the day to check in and when I didn't workout she encouraged me to go harder the next day. Online training is worth the money. Vanessa had posted on her Instagram that we say personal training is too much but we indulge on bad food, Starbucks etc when investing in our health is most important. I have children and want to be here a very long time. Joining Vanessa's online plan I actually was interested in counting calories, weighing my food, looking at how much sugar everything I've been eating and drinking like NOTHING has! Once you have a controlled diet you realize how much you over indulge. Her plan put me in a needed routine and made me aware of what I'm putting in my body. It gave me discipline. I lost 10 lbs in a month and my jeans are very loose. My jeans are a 7 but I know I'm definitely a 6 now. I tried on dresses I could see the difference right away. I have recommended her to my friends and family read more
