TEAM STRONG GIRLS Biweekly Progress

Published by

I am beyond proud of Jennine J’s amazing ‪#‎progress‬. She came to me a few short months ago looking to for strategies to eat better and feel ‪#‎healthy‬ as she suffered from headaches and migraines for years. Jennine is also on medication to combat early stages of Cervical Cancer so we had to be very strategic with her programming. After a few weeks of assessing her range of motion, biomechanics, and strength progress, we had identified a lot of tightness in her trapezius muscles that was the root of her headaches as a simple movement with a very light bicep curl would bring this on. I suggested to bring my findings to her Chiropractor and we put together a strategy to break apart the scar tissue that was built up in this area and, the great news is, she has now slowly resumed exercise for the purpose of Stabilization and Strength Endurance with simple band work and increased range of motion. Jennine says, “Hi Jenny!!! I’m very excited that finally at some point I might …

TEAM STRONG GIRLS Success Story – Lana K.

Published by

A sneak peak of Lana K’s journey to weight loss accomplishment all the way up to her debut on the stage in Figure category where she placed 2nd in her very first show!!! This STRONG GIRL also participated in the IDFA Transformation challenge and I couldn’t help but tear when they read her story to the audience. Lana says, “Until this year I had been uncomfortable in my own skin. As an overweight child I lacked confidence, insecurity, had feelings of inadequacy, and extremely low self-esteem which led to social withdrawal. I turned to food to fill the void. Over the years, I also tried many different yo-yo diets. While I had some successes, I remained overweight and struggled with an unhealthy relationship with food. At my University graduation I was more than 220lbs. I couldn’t stand to look at myself anymore and returned to the gym. Seeing a woman 20 years older than me easily handling a step class, when I was panting just 20 minutes in, it made me realize something had to …

TEAM STRONG GIRLS Testimonial I had the pleasure of working with Lise G. and proudly watched her transform physically by adhering to her program. We put together a strategy that moved her away from cardio (‪#‎SayNoToCardio‬) and integrated Resistance Training/Weight Lifting to really shape her body. We also created a structured nutrition program for the purpose of achieving her goals along with plenty of food flexibility to equip her with the tools to MAINTAIN AND SUSTAIN her incredible transformation. This STRONG GIRL lost 27 lbs along with shredding off 7 inches around her waist, 6 inches off of her hips, and 8 inches off of her thighs. She looks tight, fit, strong, and gorgeous!!! Lise says, “Hi Jenny, before I joined TEAM STRONG GIRLS, I was working out but didn’t have much direction or focus with what I was doing. I thought I was eating healthy with a bit of binge eating and was obviously having trouble with portion control. I felt sluggish, tired, and was having a terrible year emotionally after my husband left …

TEAM STRONG GIRLS Testimonial

Published by

Deb G says, “On my wedding day I wanted to not only look great but be confident that I was the best version of myself. In this sense I decided I wanted to make a change with how I was feeling on the inside in addition to how I looked physically on the outside. Before TEAM STRONG GIRLS, I was basing the success of my workout on whether or not I was gaining weight or what I ate. I was always doing cardio and large amounts of it. Even worse I wasn’t seeing any results – my appearance wasn’t changing! With increased fatigue and feeling like my food just sat in my stomach I decided I needed some guidance. I followed the strategy Coach JVB laid out for me and one thing I realized was I had more energy throughout my day! Over a few short months, I couldn’t believe the results and was so happy with how I looked on my wedding day. I was happy to see my body change and I was …

Because of one of my STRONG GIRLS, I can finally say…CELEBRITY TRAINER

Published by

Last night on iTunes, I managed to catch the 1st Episode of the 4th Season of SUITS. Such an amazing show!!! More importantly, my gorgeous client Vlada V. made an appearance in the opening of the show. HOLY SIZZLING, SEXY, GORGEOUS HOT!!! I am so proud to have worked with this STRONG GIRL to achieve her fitness goals and even prep her for this particular role. I jumped out of my couch when I saw her and I want to give her a big, gigantic hug right now because I can finally start putting the wheels in motion to say…”CELEBRITY TRAINER”!!! hehehehe Vlada even sent me a text message telling me this is “OUR” body on the episode. While she was the one that put in all of the work, it still made me tear. Love this!!! Myself, and the rest of your STRONG SISTERS, are beyond proud of your accomplishments and can’t wait to see even more of you!!!

TEAM STRONG GIRLS Success Story – Nicole B.

Published by

More than 1 year ago, Nicole B. came to me looking to lean out and maintain the muscle mass that she built up through her intense CrossFit training. In about 4 months this STRONG GIRL was posting new PRs, increased energy, leaned out immensely, and loved every single second of it! I love working with clients like Nicole because she is an absolute terror with the weights and I have often referred to her as my resident Wonder Woman or She-Hulk because…simply put…she like to life heavy sh*t. With this kind of fire burning inside her, it was only natural that she wanted to pursue something that was itching in the back of her mind for quite some time – COMPETING! I just love hearing this. This STRONG GIRL and I put together a strategy (Resistance Training, lots and lots and lots of food, and minimal cardio) to build up particular muscle groups to have her ready for Figure Category and I am so proud to say that with all of the work put in, …

Since we’re still in Victoria, BC working off of a laptop, hubby is limited with regards to downloading all of the images that we captured this weekend but he did manage to get this photo of Coraleigh J. ready for me and WOW!!! Fresh from her very first Bikini Competition at the NPC Emerald Cup, she looked spectacular! We went up against some of the best amateur NPC competitors and teams across the country and she shined!!! That being said, there was no way I wasn’t flying down for this and capture her incredible transformation by setting up a photo shoot for her the following day. This photo is one of many stunning images that hubby captured the day after her show. I also took this from her page: Coraleigh says, “I’m finally winding down now from an AMAZING and crazy weekend that was 4 months in the making. When I first started this adventure (this personal challenge to try something so completely outside of my comfort zone, and take on THE biggest amateur Bikini …
