Clients and Competitions
These are pictures of me and just a few of my clients (and a couple of fun photos). All of them are real people, no models, no fakes. This is real life. They battled cancer, bursitis, diabetes, neurodisease, disabilities and personal loss. Some were overweight. Some were depressed. Some were grieving. Some had surgery. Some were wounded warriors. ALL of them were able to change their life for the better, through exercise and I was blessed to be a part of their journey.
Testimonials
Real rave reviews from clients
I want to take a few minutes to thank you for all you’ve done for me! For the first time in FOREVER, I was able to walk into a gym by myself…and not feel intimidated or lost. I had my first workout at Lifetime yesterday, and I was able to do my Goblet squats right with everyone else in the dumb-bell area, and figure out how to do all my exercises on the machines. This is because of you! You have helped me SO much, and I just wanted to take a few minutes and tell you! You’ve been amazing!

2 years ago I tore my Labrum in my shoulder benching because I attempted a massive PR with no warmup trying to show off to my friends. On April 27th, 2016 I had 6 anchors put in my right labrum to hold it all together. Since that day I didn't so much as attempt a back squat with weight due to range of motion issues and upper body weakness and muscle atrophy. I was fearful and did not possess the knowledge or tools to attack this problem. Luckily, I've gotten to know someone who does. Vicki spent an inordinate amount of time with me going over bar placement, hand grip, shoulder mobility, foot placement, and so many other things that play into squatting safely and strongly. Needless to say, after an hour session with her, I was squatting 78% of my pre surgery max. After not having squatted in 8 months some may call that foolish, or maybe I'm just a freak athlete. But I really know it's only because I was taught how to squat properly with good form, and the weight just went up. Makes me wonder what I could've done once upon a time with good form. But Vicki is unbelievable and one of the best coaches and supportive individuals you'll ever know.
I have only been powerlifting since March 2016 and I needed a few one on one sessions to help me out on a few form and technique issues I was having. Vickie has done that in just a few training sessions. I also feel more confident in my lifts. I'm looking forward to training with get for my fist meet. She's very knowledgeable in what age does and I feel like I'm in good hands. Kerstin Crabill
Deadlifting has always been one of my weak points, either I would finish my lift with back pain, or just not be able to move the weight that day. After getting help from Vicki on form and mental focus, the change was immediate. Her knowledge is easy to see, as she instructed me how to stand, contract my core and hold my shoulders to deadlift correctly. In about 15 minutes I was lifting 20 pounds over my previous weight, and walked away with zero back pain!
