Whether you want to lose weight, gain muscle or exercise for you mental health, Veronika is ready to listen and help you reach your goals. I have learned so much about how strong I am and what my body is capable of doing thanks to Veronika.

“VF Dance and Fitness gave me my body back! After 10 years of taking care of my small children and not paying enough attention to my health, I started taking class with Veronika. It is now 15 years later, and I still love it as much as I did at the beginning. I feel strong, fit, and healthy, and am grateful every day for Veronika.”

“I was at a plateau in my workout and fitness life. Since working out with Veronika, I’ve gone down in body fat, fat mass, and up in lean mass in less than 2 months. She makes working out challenging but fun!”

“I have been a VF Fitness client for over five years. I began taking fitness classes as an amateur. Veronika has taught me the importance of exercising safely with correct form and alignment, and how to modify exercises when necessary. She motivates her clients to set attainable fitness goals. As a result, I have built physical strength and endurance that far exceeds what I ever thought I was capable of. Ultimately, I enjoy the challenge of the fitness program, the variety of classes offered, and the camaraderie of the fitness group.”

Veronika has provided me not only varied and effective workouts, but creates a community that makes me feel supported and motivated. I feel better, emotionally and physically, since starting with her!!

“I’ve been going to Veronika’s classes for over 7 years and have been continuing to attend them because she really knows how to focus on what your body needs and will endure to stay fit. She will push you to your limit but in the long run, it is for you benefit. I am in my 50’s but feel like I’m 20 years younger because of her fitness sessions using weights with cardio exercises during her circuit and other fitness classes. I would highly recommend her classes to all ages of people.”

“I have been training with Veronika for about 1 1/2 years. She is so knowledgeable and dedicated in her training, nutrition, and overall health of each client. She helped me lose the weight I needed, but most importantly get off of blood pressure medication and get my blood labs perfect. The classes are never the same and always a great workout and the personal training is definitely customized. She works on exactly what you need as a client. I have never felt better thanks to Veronika.”
