Closed today to unplug and spend some time with fam. I am so lucky to be able to run a q***r gym in such a small, rural town. This marks my 4th year being completely self employed, which is wild to me. It’s nerve wracking at times, feast or famine as they say…but I am beyond grateful to work with such strong, resilient folks in such a vulnerable way. We protect us. We make us stronger. ⚔️❤️‍🔥💪

VANESSA • SHE/HER

Vanessa is a warrior. I hope to be half as strong and determined as her one day. She is the Founder and President of nonprofit organization Central Virginia Farm Workers Initiative. A Nelson County native, she has worked closely with Farm Worker Communities (FWCs), growers, government agencies, and others to advocate for a better quality of life for farm workers in Central Virginia. She pushes herself to a degree where I have to tell her to stand down and rest. When Vanessa started training, she hated plyometrics. Reactive training was a daunting challenge and often triggered knee pain…Now, she is a PLYO-LOVING BUNNY AND I CAN’T GET HER OFF THE BOX JUMPS! Working with this woman is a joy and I can’t wait to continue seeing her progressions in both strength and stabilization. 🐰⚔️🫀

Proprioception is your body's ability to sense where it is in space. It's a critical sense to help with balance and movement. Incorporating proprioception exercises into your training routine can help improve balance and athletic performance while reducing risk of injury and falls. An appropriate proprioceptive training is important for maintaining the best possible physical fitness. It encompasses exercises for stability and coordination, stimulates motor learning, helps in maintaining proper body posture and balance, and improves overall body control.
