Meet Vanessa, also known as Fit With Ness a proud member of the Turtle Clan from the Mohawk Nation, born and raised in the community. For the past five years, Vanessa has built a fitness journey rooted in connection, growth, and a deep desire to uplift those around her.
Her love for fitness began at home. After stepping away from team sports, Vanessa found herself searching for purpose and motivation until one day, her dad challenged her to join him in a basement workout. She gave it a try, borrowed the DVD, and never looked back. That moment lit a fire in her, one that has grown into a passionate career in health and wellness. Now a certified fitness and yoga instructor, she even travelled to Costa Rica to complete her yoga teacher training.
Through Fit With Ness, Vanessa hopes to make wellness more accessible whether in person or through a screen. She’s committed to meeting people wherever they feel comfortable, offering intimate, genuine sessions tailored to individual levels. Her mission is to reach more community members, especially those who might not have access to traditional fitness spaces.
“What I want to give to my clients is something that is really intimate and genuine.” Vanessa shares. With her heart set on making a global impact, she continues to inspire others to start their journey one workout at a time.
