My name is Mitzy and I’ve been a member at VASA since 2022. It may seem odd to say that Personal Training has primarily benefited me by changing my attitude about fitness and health, but that’s what it’s done! Working with my Personal Trainer, Brenda, has completely changed how I think about working out, nutrition, and my overall health. Before working with Brenda, I was doing a lot of cardio and ate a highly-restricted diet that wasn’t sustainable. I’ve since realized that when they say, “you have to be consistent to achieve your goals,” they don’t mean consistent for a month or two; rather, it’s going to take consistency for many months, and maybe even years. Once I realized that, it was almost a relief! I can set smaller goals and celebrate those small achievements along the way instead of feeling like I’m not doing it right because I don’t see immediate results.
Another “aha” moment was when Brenda and I discussed nutrition. I was excited when she told me that to achieve my goals I needed to eat! She has helped me break down my old mentality of restriction and guilt that can come when you are trying to get in shape. I’ve been able to travel, enjoy family dinners, and keep some of my favorite sweet-tooth foods in my pantry without feeling like I’m sabotaging myself.
Though it’s only been a few months since I’ve been working on my fitness goals earnestly and consistently, the changes I’ve made with Brenda make it feel very possible to achieve my goals and keep lifelong habits that will lead to a more balanced and healthy lifestyle.
