CODY SMITH
Owner Cody Smith says his single biggest goal in life is to reach as many people as he can and help them change their lives. “Too many people in the world suffer from negativity and health problems,” he says. “I want to show any- and everyone that you can indeed enjoy life, live healthy, and be who you want to be.”

BECCA
After a couple years of lifting weights and some cardio on the treadmills and eliptical machines, I decided I needed more guidence in my workouts. Needing a change, I was referred to this gym by a friend and after the first class, I realized two things. One, I needed professional coaches to give me workouts that incorporated endurance, strength, and the knowledge to teach me proper techniques. Two, I needed a community to be surrounded by. Communitiy makes a huge impact. Fast forward 3 years, I decided to take my journey to the next level and became a coach.

JASON CHRIST
Coach Jason Christ brings 2 years of experiences to Virtuous Fitness’s coaching staff. After spending so much time in a big gym with no direction and not seeing results, he decided to look for a change and found it in this gym!
After 6 months, becoming a coach seemed like the best way to pay it forward in the name of fitness. “I had previously never been exposed to a community like our gym before,” he says. “I love being part of our community and coaching our athletes is a true honor!”

TANYA WERNER
Tanya is a self proclaimed nerd, a voracious reader with a thirst for knowledge and personal growth. She was drawn to coaching after being a member for many years and seeing the personal connection a coach could have. When a member is struggling with a movement or through a workout and the coach can say that one thing that will help them through it, that’s gold.
