My Mission

I’m Vanessa and I am a peace-loving, former dancer turned personal trainer with an undergrad in exercise science and a master's in public health. I've helped 1,000+ patients rehabilitate from injury as a physical therapy aide. In physical therapy I witnessed countless patients with chronic injuries like KNEE PAIN, BACK PAIN, and NECK PAIN who simply needed better personal training habits! During my undergrad I was able to volunteer as a fitness director providing low cost personal training to low income communities. It opened my eyes to the necessity for ACCESSIBLE training and the magnitude of diabetes in the world! Now, I take my love of human movement and empower women in their 30’s to unleash their inner free spirit, and love their bodies from the inside out! I create personalized, form focused workouts that shed fat, tone muscle, and build confidence!

You’d be surprised who’s watching your journey and being inspired by it. Don’t give up!

Why Train With Me

My experience in physical therapy and placing importance on rehabilitation and client form. Incorporating the holistic component to fitness in terms of nutrition and self care.

My go-to workout

The dancer in me loves Barre classes! The slow controlled movements get my muscles shaking!!!

Healthy food I love

I love the frozen string beans from Trader Joes, but I’m a sucker for roasted broccoli :)

Healthy food I hate

Hate? I’m a foodie! I love food! But I’m not the biggest fan of black olives. Green olives for the ?

Favorite workout music

R&B or Slow Pop! Exercise is my meditation time so I like something slow, unless I’m doing cardio!!!

What people are most surprised to learn about me

I entered college as a performing arts major and switched to kinesiology! Best choice I ever made!

Client stories

"Before finding Kickoff, I wasted so much time sitting in my car at the gym trying to google the "best" workout for the day. Now I never fret over workouts - they're sent to me with clear instruction in the Kickoff app. Working with my trainer via text has been such a benefit. Having that accountability was key - I beat my goal by 10 lbs, losing 40 lbs before my wedding day!"

Peyton

"Working with Kickoff is awesome! It has helped me learn so much about what it takes to transform your body. I have lost 23 pounds and 5% body fat since working with Rachel and I've never felt better!"

Augie H.

Florida

"I have loved every single week of Kickoff. As a busy, working mom, I don't like leaving my home & family to go to the gym. My trainer Jen designs workout plans for me that work with what I have at home. She levels me up in strength when I'm ready & adjusts when I'm not feeling my best. Kickoff is realistic, sustainable & supportive. That's why it's been so successful for me!"

Miriam C.

"I lost 70 pounds of fat (265 to 195) and am keeping it off with Kickoff! I’m now adding muscle and getting stronger! My coach makes it fun and straightforward to stick to an awesome exercise and nutrition program that really works."

Giancarlo R.

"I’ve lost 25 lbs with Kickoff and have gained a tremendous amount of strength and confidence. Thanks to Kickoff, I was able to tweak my nutrition & really see a noticeable difference all around including my energy levels. I am finally feeling like myself again!"

Brooke H.

California

"My body fat decreased by 5.3% & is now 17.8%. I lost about half an inch in my waist, hips, and thighs. It's easier for me to get in the gym and complete a workout when I don't have to stress about actually planning the workouts. I love how supportive and flexible my coach has been. Kickoff has become a welcome constant amongst the chaos of everyday life."

Ashley B.

Alabama

"As a mom of 4, Kickoff has been such a blessing to me! Not only has it has helped me learn to eat and how to focus on different areas of my body, but it has also helped me gain more self confidence! My trainer is able to base my workouts off of what equipment I have at home, and I don't have to be a part of a gym!"

Nicole H.

Tennessee

"I'm loving the accountability piece that comes with Kickoff. My clothes fit much better. My coach has been great in helping me figure out macros/nutrition, and the workouts have been great. I'm impressed with how my strength has improved over the past weeks - it means the world. Fitness was a big part of my earlier years, and it's been huge to get back in shape! Thank you Kickoff!"
