Welcome to my page! I'm Vanessa Head, originally from the "Mile High City" (shout out to Colorado!), but moved out east to the DC metro area in 2009 and am loving it! I teach Turbo Kick and Hip Hop Hustle nearly every day of the week so let me know if you're ever in the area and are looking for a great class! :-)

My fitness goal: Get Healthy

Transformation story

I’ve always been a pretty active girl by playing sports and considered myself “fit”, but that all went out the door when I entered college and no longer had any type of accountability or program to keep me motivated to “keep it movin”. I let the stress of being the overachiever college student (nerd alert ;-) ) while also maintaining a part-time internship for the government nearly 40 miles away be my excuse for not working out, and I let my health slip. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) just 2 weeks shy of my 21st birthday and in an instant my entire life changed. I was told by doctors that I had to eat healthy, work out, and minimize ALL stress in my life on top of the other therapies I needed to fight the MS. Um, you’re telling this to a college student?!?!…how in the world was I supposed to be “Little Miss Perfect” at THAT age and in THAT environment?? That was my turning point when I discovered group exercise classes at the gym and fell in love with Turbo Kick®. I will forever be grateful to Chalene Johnson for nearly saving my life with Turbo Kick®!

I gained my confidence and reclaimed my health and set a goal to conquer my first ultimate fitness challenge: the Colorado Bike MS ride, which meant riding 150 miles in two days through the Colorado mountains. I “upped” my group exercise workouts and trained like crazy on my bike (losing 10 pounds in the meantime), and sure enough, completed the ride! The ride was the worst and best experience I had every endured (hey, it was a tough ride that involved a few tears), but since then I have challenged myself every year to win the battle at Colorado’s Bike MS ride.

In the meantime, I became that “front row rockstar” in Turbo Kick® class who was happy to show the rest of the folks the choreography when they couldn’t see the instructor, but wasn’t confident enough to actually teach class myself. One day I just made myself attend the certification and I am SO happy that I did! I didn’t teach much when I was in Colorado, but when I moved to DC and realized there were a shortage of Turbo Kick® classes and instructors, I challenged myself once again and was committed to paying it forward: I wanted to inspire and share the same class and format that nearly saved my life and brought the fun and healthiness back in. I am now a “Chalene Johnson” junkie and teach her Turbo Kick® and Hip Hop Hustle® formats throughout DC, and love using her ChaLEAN Extreme and Turbo Fire programs at home! Now working out isn’t a drag: it’s something I enjoy and the benefits are simply perks that come with the fun. ;-) With my exercise routines, I have been able to maintain my weight and tone up my muscles, and best of all I have improved what’s most important: my HEALTH!

How great is it to ENJOY working out?!

Decide. Commit. Succeed! DO MORE!!!
