Vic is a Certified Elite Trainer through the International Sports Science Association (ISSA).

His favorite quote is from Marianne Williamson: "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.” He says, “I want to help people see just how amazing they really are and what they can achieve — strong body, strong mind, strong spirit. It’s all connected.” Vic is also a running coach and has been involved in competitive running for nearly 40 years. He lives in Grimes, IA and has two kids, Isabel and Gabe. Classes:
