VerifiedAbout Victoria
I am a mama of a 4 year old little boy, I have 3 pups, and am a wife. I've been a personal trainer since 2017 but it wasn't until after I had my son that I really became interested in specializing in pre and postnatal fitness. During my own pregnancy and postpartum journeys, I realized that it was difficult to find programs specifically for the season of life that I was in and after seeing how many new moms jump right back into the workouts that they did before pregnancy before fully recovering, it inspired me even more to dive into this specialty so I can further help expecting and new moms safely return or start exercising.
I also work with clients on general health and wellness such as weight loss, gaining strength, and have experience of working with clients from 18 years old-95 years old!
My favorite exercise
I love anything with the CORE! Especially planks! The core is our powerhouse and where a lot of our strength comes from. Without a strong core, serious problems in other areas of the body can occur, like the lower back for example.
My training experience
Over the last 6 1/2 years, I worked in a commercial gym, a military gym, and a gym that focuses on the older population. I’ve worked with primarily women for weight loss, helped them focus on proper form, and I’m always challenging my clients to use heavier weights! I do make sure the client doesn’t progress too quickly where injuries can occur. We slowly progress overtime and my clients always feel stronger than ever before and love the way it feels!
