I've been working with Vanessa for 3 weeks, and she's excellent. I came to her with body image issues, a previous injury, aging, and sitting at a desk too long. She provided me with targeted options to gently re-introduce me to movement. The work has been challenging but not impossible. I'm less stiff, more mobile, and more flexible than I was 3 weeks ago. I don't dread exercise, and exercise feels like growth rather than punishment. I'm so grateful to her for her expertise, patience, motivation, and kindness.

I LOVE Vanessa and I haven’t even been working with her for a full week yet! I love how thorough she is and how she assessed my entire body before giving me any sort of workout program. And so far- all of the workouts make so much sense for my goals! Her coaching style is perfect- she’s your friend but she challenges you! I’m super excited for what’s next!

Vanessa is very easy to communicate with and we came up with a plan that was customized to my needs where I am right now. I am super excited after week one, I’m loving using her app at home to get my workouts in. Looking forward to my growth and progress working with Vanessa.

Vanessa is amazing. She took her time with me and taught me things about myself that I didn't even realize. Like my walk, the way I sit, she did so much more for me in one visit than any physical therapist ever has. I am now more aware of my body and look forward to working with her over the next few weeks to strengthen my core and and build my muscle strength.

Vanessa is amazing! I value her personal training skills and background, but also the fact that she is a physical therapist and massage therapist ensures that my whole body and mind are connected. She combines various workouts with weight training, Pilates, yoga, swimming and toning and strengthening my whole body. I look forward to every workout and she even provides me with workouts on the days she’s not with me using a fitness App to track all of my progress. She is extremely professional and so much fun to be around. Her energy gets me excited! Thank you Vanessa 😄

Vanessa has been so warm and welcoming from the start! She is beyond personable and always made me feel comfortable doing workouts! Her structured plans for my exercises fit my schedule (even in last minute crises) and she LISTENED to me and what my needs were! She never pushed but always kept me accountable! I hope to continue working with her as she has tremendously helped me with my exercise abilities and learning so much about my body and how it works! I’ll be forever grateful for her! 💕

As my first time training with a personal trainer, I didn’t know what to expect but I knew I needed help with getting back to a healthier place with my body. My fiancé, fell upon her page, Vanessa Carlson Fitness, and after reading through, I thought, “Wow, Vanessa sounds like an incredible personal trainer.”
After working out/training with her and her personal routines, I’m thankful to have found her. Vanessa is so much more than a personal trainer, she provides support, motivation, encouragement, accountability, education and focuses on safety while making exercising fun and meets you where you’re at so you can build a strong, safe foundation to move forward with.
I look forward to my days where we work one on one in person. Vanessa is so much fun, positive and brings the energy without ever making me question, “Can/how can I do this exercise/move?” I feel like I’m working out with a friend! We laugh so much! On my busy days, I’m grateful to come home and play a personalized workout routine that I didn’t have to come up with. It takes away my stress of, “Should I be doing this exercise today or this one?”
I’m feeling muscles that are waking up and becoming in engaged that I haven’t felt in years. My stiffness in my back, neck, hips have disappeared with her effective yet gentle stretching. If you’re thinking about reaching out & ready to commit to yourself; DO IT, your body and mind will be thankful!

Vanessa Carlson Fitness is amazing! Vanessa sets up an individual program depending on your level of fitness and she makes it fun. I started last week & had been very inactive for a couple years. My program so far has been challenging, but not too difficult. My workouts are just the right length, long enough to get a good workout & work up a sweat, but not too long. I made it through all 6 workouts this past week & I'm down about 5 pounds. On to week #2 tomorrow! Contact Vanessa to get started- you'll be happy you did.

I trained with Vanessa when she owned her own gym and couldn't have been happier. She held me accountable, always brought a positive attitude, and consistently checked in with my progress and adapted as needed. I loved the way we would routinely switch up my program every 6-8 weeks so my workouts never became stagnant. Vanessa has great knowledge of lifting techniques, HIIT programming, and effective cardio workouts. Each session was well-structured and tailored to my goals. She does a great job balancing intensity and sustainability. Highly recommend if you're looking for someone who motivates and truly supports your progress.

If her character is any indication of the experience she brings to her training sessions, I have no doubt that anyone who works with her is in excellent hands.

Over the past 4 years, my personal trainer Vanessa at Ladies Super Fitness has truly changed my life. When we first started, I had a goal to lose 66 pounds and get in better shape and with her monthly programs, constant support, and encouragement, I did just that.
She designed workouts that were tailored to my needs and adjusted them as I progressed. It wasn’t just about the scale ; it was about building strength, confidence, and healthy habits. Thanks to her, I now have toned legs, a smaller waist, and most importantly, I feel healthier and more confident than ever before.
She believed in me even on the days I didn’t believe in myself, and that made all the difference. I’m incredibly grateful for her dedication and knowledge. If you’re looking for a trainer who truly cares and gets results, I can’t recommend her enough.

Vanessa is one of the most beautiful souls, using her gifts for the good of others and glory of God.
She is passionate about seeing women use their bodies not for vanity but for ability. As a physical therapist, she’s also able to work with those who may have to modify in, works with individuals at their own pace, knowing it’s not a race.
If you are looking for someone to partner with in your health journey, Vanessa is your gal!

This fitness unstuck challenge has been such a blessing! It has given me the motivation and confidence I needed to get back in shape. I love that I can squeeze a workout in whenever I have time during my busy day. Venessa is super fun and encouraging, and she makes her workouts accessible to all by tailoring the workout to your specific goals and abilities. Thank you Vanessa!!
