I've been training with Vanessa for over 10 years. I started out as person who could barely run but Vanessa gave me the encouragement and confidence to tackle my first 12km fun run. Since then I have completed numerous sporting events with Vanessa's help and my latest challenge has been to regain my fitness after having two kids. Vanessa's training sessions are always fun, stimulating and challenging, she understands your limits but also pushes and encourages you when you need it. Vanessa is an inspiring trainer and I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!

My journey started one year ago with Strive for fitness, I was the heaviest I had ever been. I remember my first ever session which was on the beach , it was the hardest , longest hour ever. Running and working out on the beach is so much harder than at a gym. One year later I am still working out , it is the best fitness I have enjoyed in a long time. You have the beauty of the morning view of the water, and working out with a fantastic group of people , doing exercise that you enjoy. I consider the group my friends, who we all go out socially and it's a great way of meeting new friends. Vanessa is a great trainer, she knows each one of us and how our bodies work. She motivates you to achieve the goals you want.
