I love it when I can catch a class at VF with the one and only Aminta! She is amazing. And even better, today the focus of the class was the power clean. It is not a super intuitive move and takes a great deal of focus on form and timing of your movement. Aminta's coaching is the best. So much detail and attention paid to each person in the class, meeting each of us right where we are in our fitness journey. Five stars + + +!

Working with weights is a completely new experience for me. The trainers are so professional and pay very close attention to each and every person to ensure that no injuries occur, that form is correct and that we are having a great time! Also the people I have met attending the gum are so encouraging and friendly. Love Love this place.

Takayuki was my coach this morning for my first Senior Strength class - it was a wonderful class!!! It started slowly with the warmup but then it took off! I loved the class - my muscles know it was a real workout and they’re tired but happy!!!

Village Fit is a bit of a unicorn, in all the best ways. Aminta (the owner) has curated an atmosphere of support and positivity. She and her coaching team take the time to explain the logic behind the programming and the intent behind the movements.
The programming is approachable and scaleable, and the coaches are great about tailoring movements to adapt to each individual's needs while still allowing everyone there to feel part of the communal workout.

I was a self-proclaimed cardio junkie and knew I needed structure to add strength and mobility to my routine. I started that journey with Village Fit's predecessor and have attended VF since its inception. Village Fit's classes challenge me to try new movements, prioritize getting stronger, move with intention, and show up for myself. The workouts are hard but doable, and I usually leave class a sweaty and happy mess.

The cherry on top is the great community that attends Village Fit. Classes are filled with fun, smart, and supportive people. As someone who works from home, I've found the VF community to be a real lifeline, for 50 minutes each day I connect with interesting and diverse humans as we make our way through our workouts. I'm so grateful for this special place and its community.

Patrick bring experience and enthusiasm to every class.. that's all the more appreciated at those 5:50 classes! I'm pretty new to weight lifting so the "how to's" and eye on form is really helpful. Sometimes it's hard to get out of bed but I never, ever regret going!

This gym is my happy place for soooooo many reasons. Here’s today’s reason…
🩵The workouts are well rounded with strength, cardio, mobility segments.
💛Aminta is an attentive coach. She has an eye on everyone’s form and makes necessary corrections.
🖤I am newly back after realizing I am not a workout at home girl. Today was my first class after being away for 20months. There were more familiar faces in the gym than not. Familiar AND friendly!!
🤍The environment is positive.
🩵The mindset is listen to and meet your body where it’s at TODAY.
💛 I am excited to go back!!
🖤 ALL fitness levels and bodies can participate in the classes here. The instructor will offer modifications without judgement.
🤍 This community is a well rounded and healthy one!

I have been going to Village fit for last 3 months . And it is the first time in my life I look forward to gym time. I have taken classes with Patrick, Cordell, Amina and Allison. All the coaches are very encouraging but also keep things fun. The routines lets you progress at your own pace . And I really like the class sizes with good space. And the other gym members go out of their way to make you feel welcome.

It’s been exactly two months since I started working out at Village Fit and the results are beyond my expectations! I simply wanted my clothes to fit better, build up strength for future backpacking trips, find a location close to my home, and classes that worked with my schedule. Owner/Coach Aminta was very responsive to my inquiries, promptly provided rates, and plans that could fit my goals. I decided on 3 sessions of 1:1 coaching and unlimited monthly classes. I found the 1:1 sessions with Aminta helped ease my nerves and have more confidence for group classes. All the class coaches are incredible and have their own style/background AND they are all very accommodating to all fitness levels and stages in life/fitness journey. The folks working out are in classes are very kind, encouraging, and fun. There is never a “right time” to start a program (school/vacation/work/time/money) AND I’m so glad I jumped into the Village Fit Community as it exceeded my expectations, and I can see results.

Alyson was incredibly kind and supportive, expertly adapting the workout to suit my needs. As someone who was understandably nervous about attending a group class for the first time, I truly appreciated her encouraging and accommodating approach. Thanks to her guidance, I left the class feeling empowered and excited to explore more classes in the future!

Disclosure: I did not end up purchasing their services. I was seeking their pricing which required a text or email in order to get. I requested, then received a sales pitch response and another request to confirm I want their pricing. After finally receiving, I decided to look elsewhere. I continued to receive texts and email sale pitches. I likely agreed to receive these in their fine print and I was able to later opt out. I found this brand of pushy sales tactics likely indicative of their service. For your consideration in deciding what type of service/company you choose to do business with.

I have gone to about 7 classes so far at Village Fit and I am loving it so far. Already seeing results 💪. I like the combination of cardio and strength training. The classes are hard but adjustable to skill level, so I leave tired but not dead. I just purchased a monthly membership ☺️.

My mornings at Village Fit make the rest of the day (and week!) so much better. I especially love classes with Coach Cordell—he’s positive vibes only and provides helpful tips on form and technique to keep me injury free. The Village Fit community is the reason I keep coming back. Great people, supportive energy, and solid full-body workouts.

I am slowly transitioning back into working out after having a kid and Cordell has been an absolute delight in supporting me in that journey. His classes always feel welcoming (as does the whole Village Fit community). Workouts are challenging but modified for my specific ability (I am sore for days afterwards… it’s a great feeling!). He provides guidance on my form. Pushes me to get the most out of my workout. Most of all, the individual encouragement and support he provides me makes me feel well supported on my fitness journey. I look forward to my mornings with Cordell!

Wow! Great space, cozy, clean, organized. Aminta is an attentive, knowledgeable and scrupulous coach. It was a pleasure having someone throughly demo the elements and clearly explain the progressions. She then looked at each person and gave feedback where she thought it would be appropriate. I had to do modifications because of a lingering injury . She offered options. I really highly recommend this positive-energy gym.

Today’s workout was a real grind (in a good way!), but I’m happy to say Aminta pushed me to go heavier than I normally would and I know it’ll pay off in making me stronger. I always appreciate her feedback about form corrections and positive energy to get through a tougher workout.

Some days I wake up with really bad depression and feel super off balance. The second I walk into Village Fit and receive smiles and encouragement from my community that’s all I need to get things turned around! I love the workouts and coaching from Aminta and Alyson is spot on!

Aminta and I have worked together for 4 years and in the beginning I had no CrossFit experience. She has helped me understand proper alignment, maintain good form to prevent injury and listen to my body. I’m so grateful to her for taking the time to coach me, both privately and in class. Her energy is contagious and when I’m at her gym there’s no place I’d rather be.

I've been taking classes at Village Fit since the very beginning and love every day I get to show up and be a part of the community. The coaches are supportive, knowledgeable, and push me to challenge myself. Owner Aminta is amazing and I am grateful for her expertise, guidance, and genuine interest with my individual fitness journey. I appreciate that Village Fit recognizes that we all have different fitness levels, ages, life experiences, and have specific goals for being there. I can trust and rely on our coaches to give us their recommendations to achieve those goals. Workouts are different each day and the variety really keeps things fresh and fun. I also like that Village Fit offers a variety of programming from small group training to personal training to nutrition coaching--and the coaches are there to help guide you and recommend the best approach to living your best and healthiest life. When I say this place has been life-changing for me, I truly mean it. Thank you Village Fit!

I'm glad so many women are having a good experience here. But if someone isn't transparent about cost when I ask before they get me in the door, they're wasting both our time and no payment plan or reasoning will get me to want to go to that gym. And it's about trust/sales and valuing my time and not getting my hopes up, not my ability to pay the extra $500 for one on one before the $160 to $200 something/ month for group training. Transparency = trust. Hope you'll consider just a little more of it.

Alyson G. was great today, as always. I enjoy Alyson’s enthusiasm for coaching. I appreciate her attention to the details of a workout, specifically good form and safe, efficient movement. Today Alyson went the extra mile to counsel me about an effective approach to the CrossFit 24.2 workout, appropriate to my goals and fitness. Anyway, I get a lot out of working out with Alyson.

I have been going to VillageFit almost a year now. All the coaches (Aminta, Cordell, Alyson, Tyler, and former coach Zandr) are all amazing coaches and truly care about you as a person & your fitness journey. The other members are awesome motivators, too, and want you to succeed both at gym & outside of the gym.

One nice thing about VillageFit compared to other gyms is that they truly care about your form during the exercises because they don’t want you to get injured. This is great for both novice and experienced gym goers. The coaches also provide modifications for every exercise!

Come join a class for a fun work out!!

This afternoon was my first group class here and I was pretty nervous about feeling like a burden. I couldn't have more happily missed the mark with those nerves! Aminta seamlessly modified things for my ability such that I didn't feel like a drag on the others in class, or on her. I freaking love it here!

I haven't been to a gym that I enjoyed in over a decade, if ever. Aminta made my first time back to a class, accessible, easy to understand, and even enjoyable. She paid close attention when she asked about my fitness background and she incorporated mods for me specifically in a way that made sense for my body, without making me feel like I "couldn't keep up." I can't wait to go to another class, and I can honestly say I have never felt that way about going to the gym, ever.

This is a great spot if your goal is functional fitness. The work outs are challenging and fun and the coaches and community are positive.

I'm very impressed with Village Fit and Aminta. I'm a middle-aged guy who finds many trainers, while well-intentioned, kind of clueless about aging, chronic pain, and medical issues that can limit what one can do -- or, more basically, simply how aging changes one's fitness goals. I've done personal training and group classes with Aminta, and been very pleased with her guidance, her sharp eye for body mechanics/form, and her ability to individualize exercises and workout routines. Her enthusiasm and genuine investment in her clients' success shines through, and translates to a devoted clientele. Personal training and group classes both have a supportive atmosphere, and constantly challenge participants in a good way. If I could give six stars out of five, I would.
