I would give Vita 6 stars if I could. Before Vita, I thought I was strong until I tried my first NJ Spartan Beast and wound up spending 11 hours on a mountain, failing almost every obstacle and cramping in every muscle in my body. I knew I had to make a change. I found Vita via Spartan races list of coaches and classes. After one class, I KNEW this was exactly what I needed as an athlete AND as an individual looking to live a healtheir overall life. This year, after being with Vita, I ran NINE Spartan races, cutting SIX hours off my NJ Beast time and completing the Killington Beast, often heralded as one of the hardest in the northeast AND race circuit, without a single cramp. Vita has helped me perform better, recover better, and become a mentally tougher individual on AND off the race circuit. Vita's programming is deisgined for EVERYONE - racers and non-racers alike.

After years of going through the motions of lifting weights and doing cardio at box gyms and seeing limited results, joint injury and tendonitis while feeling unfulfilled and bored in my workouts with limited carry over to practical daily living, Vita was a refreshing and rejuvenating find.
