Who We Are and What We Value

The purpose of this blog is to introduce our business, Vitalia Wellness LLC. We are excited to share this journey with you, and be of service to our community!

Meet the Pros

Christian is one of our founders and master trainers. He holds a bachelor’s degree in exercise science and a personal training certification from the American Counsel on Exercise. He’s been training for 7 years and specializes in strength training, speed and agility, metabolic conditioning, and health behavior change. Over the years he has worked with many clients (both in-person and online), from all different fitness levels, ethnicities, sizes and ages. He became a personal trainer because it's something that he genuinely enjoys, and health has always been a passion of his. He is very outgoing and friendly, and tends to laugh a lot! He sees the bright side of things and is a determined competitor who cares a great deal about client happiness and success. Outside of work, he enjoys hanging out with his family, especially the newest edition, his baby boy. He lives a relaxed lifestyle and enjoys going outside, playing video games, eating food, and playing flag football every Sunday!

I (Dana) am also a founder and master trainer/health coach. I'm someone who is kind, caring, and empathetic. I enjoy seeing the bright side of things and I believe that whatever you want in this life, you can achieve it. The energy you put out is the energy you get back! Health and wellness has always been a passion of mine. For the sake of transparency and connection, I have faced challenges when it comes to my health, both physically and mentally. (more on that in another blog) I know I'm equipped with the personal and professional experience to help you. I hold a master's degree in wellness promotion, and a bachelor's degree in exercise science. I am also a board-certified health coach and am currently in the process of recertifying my personal training certification, and attaining my nutrition certification through NASM. (we really value continued education so that we can stay up to date with industry standards in order to safely and effectively serve our clients.) I specialize in strength training, health behavior change, body positivity, and human empowerment. I also enjoy working with people to create healthy relationships with food and exercise. When I'm not helping others achieve their goals, you will find me playing with my dog, spending time outside with my husband, and honing in on my mom skills. I just had a baby in October 2022, so I'm currently on my own transformational journey! I don't mean the typical post-partum weight loss journey either. I mean the transformational journey into motherhood. I'm learning how to navigate this new life of mine while also learning to love my body and all it's done for our family. My current goals are to build strength and improve mobility all while feeling like my BEST SELF. Having said that, being a mom can sometimes push things to the back burner... like exercise and making time for ourselves. At Vitalia you are more than welcome to bring your little one along. Let's not let the fact that we are superhero parents get in the way of taking care of ourselves. ❤

Our Mission and Our Values

We believe that health is not one-size-fits-all. Each and every one of us are unique beings who respond differently to external and internal factors. We take a look at the WHOLE picture and foster a wholesome health approach. Our training isn’t just breaking a sweat and getting in a good workout. It’s not all about the calorie count, and it’s most definitely more than a number on the scale. We believe in creating realistic and sustainable health habits that keep you feeling your best. When we feel our best, we live a joyFULL life. This brings us to the meaning of our name. “Vitalia” means “full of life,” which is exactly what we want all of our clients to feel! FULL. OF. LIFE! We strive to cut through the noise and make a positive impact on our community. You’ll notice that one of the walls in our gym is BRIGHT YELLOW. Yellow represents joy, happiness, optimism, friendship, and energy. All the things we want you to feel when you are in our space.
