Power Athlete Track
Verified Athlete"Vicky is easily the best trainer I’ve ever worked with. I walked in with a background of high school and collegiate athletics, including strength and conditioning work, but wasn’t sure what to expect. I was blown away - she puts a ton of effort into designing workouts that fit the needs of her athletes and every week brings variety and new challenges to meet my goals. In the last year I’ve gotten both leaner and stronger than I’ve ever been, all with improved range of motion - a win, win!"
Strength Athlete
Verified Athlete"Deciding to start personal training with Vicky was one of the best investments I’ve made in myself. Her programming is tailored to my weaknesses, and keeps me pushing hard week after week. I have made considerable progress with her programming, plus having her encouragement and guidance every step of the way has been priceless. I feel stronger, happier and more confident"
At-Home Training
Verified Athlete"Working out with Vicky has changed how I live my life! I've done both personal training and her online group and they're wonderful. She's a highly skilled professional and really excels at challenging you while understanding how to make sure you're safe and productive according to your own needs. I can't recommend Vicky and Galasso Athletics highly enough."
At-Home Training
Verified Athlete"Vicky's programs saved 2021 for me. Starting with the home-based strength programming she offered, I was able to maintain motivation and fitness as I stayed away from the gym at the height of the pandemic. The movements were adaptable to what I was able to do with limited space and equipment, and structured in such a way they complemented one another and facilitated maintenance and growth over time."
