As a military spouse, Venus began her fitness journey while stationed in Anchorage, Alaska 16 years ago. After the birth of her second daughter, she decided to jumpstart her journey by entering the world of body-building. She trained extensively, and quickly developed a deep love and passion for fitness, easily finding success by way of winning overall champion in her category once, and placing in the top-two 3 times in a span of two-years. Venus continued her journey in the fitness enterprise as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor, and discovered another passion for helping people achieve their fitness and health goals. While stationed in Hungary, she earned her CrossFit Level-2 Certificate, and although the little village of Papa Hungary had limited resources, Venus was able to find creative ways to train and coach military families, children from the International School, and children from the local orphanages. Furthermore, while in Hungary she developed a love for competing in Spartan races. Thus far she has completed an impressive 19 races, and more impressively completed a Trifecta in one weekend at three separate events: one in Greece, one in Hungary, and one in Seattle. Additionally, while in Europe, she trained with a world-renowned Olympic lifting athlete and Olympic gold medalists who taught her invaluable techniques and procedures on form and mobility. Venus’ life is centered around fitness as she’s held numerous positions at top rated health club franchises as a Sales Representative, Team Lead, Assistant Manager, and now overseeing a busy and successful location as the General Manager. Venus’ absolute passion for fitness coupled with the enjoyment for sharing her knowledge and experience with everyone is obvious when you see her in action in the OGC box.
