“This is another sweet story! Kimberly is 15, she came with her mom and I signed her mom up with a trainer and a membership. Her mom explained that she wanted Kimberly to be a little bit more active, so I asked Kimberly, “Would you like to come with your mom to one of my classes??” She immediately said, “NO, I don’t like to be around people, I’m too shy, I’ll just go on the treadmill.” When they were leaving I said, “Just 1 class, I promise you’ll like it, would you try 1 only?” And she smiled. That same week they attended my dance class and stayed for my total body conditioning…she said she liked the body conditioning and continued to follow my classes and @taylor_neys … 4 weeks in she stopped me at the turf area and was super happy and smiley and said, “Liz, just by going to your classes and changing my eating habits I’ve lost 6 lbs in 4 weeks!!” She said she LOVED group fitness and she is at 8lb down today! She’s going back to school and I won’t see her in the mornings ☹️ but she’s very motivated and I’m happy she is happy in our VASA community!… Way to go Kimberly 🥳 Group Fitness has been my support & joy in this industry and my fitness journey and I am happy when other people join and experience it!” - @liz17_niebla #whyivasa #vasafitness #groupfitness

“Shout out to one of my incredibly hard working and inspiring Clients David. David and I started working together back in May of 2021, after 30 days of us working together David was able to put on 2lbs of Muscle and drop 2% Body fat!” - Arash ⁣ Check out what David had to say about his journey: ⁣ “I am a proud client of Arash. The moment I met him it clicked because I found, in him, a trainer who took his job seriously and took my goals equally so.⁣ COVID-19 kicked my butt, I bet it’s the same for you all. Hell, my biggest arm exercise was opening and closing the refrigerator door.⁣ I knew I had to get back in shape and Arash has propelled me clearly and joyously forward.⁣ ⁣ I work with 17-22-year-olds, I teach at a University. I not only have to keep up with them, I have to lead them as an example. I’m about to turn 65 years old.⁣ Arash is my ally as I keep up with (and sometimes even surpass) these leaders of tomorrow. Though it does not really play into my life as much as you might think, I am blind. I demand autonomy and a sense of humor. No pity here! Arash gives me dignity – that’s all I ever ask.⁣” We are so proud of you David and all your hard work and we are grateful to all our awesome trainers like Arash ❤️ #transformationtuesday #IAMVASA #VASASTRONG
