I am not the same person I was when I first walked into Vera

by kak1234

Being a mom it is often hard to take time and focus on yourself but I finally decided to carve out that time and give myself permission to really focus on taking better care of my overall health and fitness. Only problem was I had no clue how to do it. A friend introduced me to Vera and I am so thankful she did.

From the second you walk in the door you know its going to be a good experince...you are greeted by the most caring staff and you feel like you are in a spa setting not a big gym (no mirrors, loud music or competive feeling) and its incredibly clean. The trainers are amazing and give 100% to each woman that walks in the door. You can tell they truly care and are very attentive to a holistic approach.

Not only is there an amazing program to go thru on the Kinesis wall, great cardio machines available but you get a chance to work with a very skilled personal trainer. That relationship made all the difference for me- for the first time I felt safe to be vulnerable with my strengths and weaknesses and get the help I have been wanting and needing. Its been six months and I know I am not the same person who first walked into Vera. I feel stronger in all ways and am more in tune with my body than I have ever been. I have finally made a lifestyle change because of all I have learned while working out at Vera. I don't think I could adequately express my gratitude for the impact the trainer I have been working with and the VERA experience has made in my life!

I highly recommend you check out Vera!

VERA Fitness

by seattlewahine

I scheduled my fitness session with Vera and had a great workout using the Kinesis machine. It looked easy, but it was challenging. My trainer Karly was patient and willing to make modifications based on my specific health/body issues. She was encouraging without being insincere. They were low pressure about signing up for additional sessions. I felt great after leaving.

• Pros: One on one or small group training
• Cons: Somewhat expensive

Great Workout Just For Women

by lesly1974

I tried Vera Fitness for the first time last night and I was quite impressed. It's in a great location close to Green Lake although parking could be an issue depending on what time of day you go. The Kinesis machines are a butt-kicking workout and the trainers really make sure you're sticking to good form and working your whole body over the course of the session. The cardio machines are top of the line with built-in t.v.s. It truly is a very comfortable place to workout and I'll definitely be returning.

• Pros: Parking
• Cons: Great workout, wonderful staff, women's only fitness
