Victoria Burgess - PhD, CISSN, CSCS - Weight Loss Coach
Victoria is an educated and certified weight loss coach with a PhD in Health and Human Performance, plus a Certification as a Certified Sports Nutritionist (CISSN,) and a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, CSCS. She has led hundreds of clients through their weight loss journeys over the last ten years, combining academic knowledge with a deep passion for helping others realize their full potential. For Victoria, coaching isn't about physically changing the body alone but equipping the clients with the knowledge of their bodies and mindsets to break through barriers for a healthy life.
Influenced by the coaches in her life who made such a positive impact, Victoria is committed to going all out to create long-lasting impacts on her clients. She finds her spark in knowing she helps people realize their dreams by teaching them to block obstacles and move closer to the life they deserve.
Her advice to clients will always be "Don't stop!” She has insisted that though the process may appear long, at the moment when one seems to stop trying, this is usually the time when success strikes.
In her spare time, Victoria competes in surfing and stand up paddle board competitions!
Fun Fact - Victoria currently holds the world record in the Guinness Book of World Records for stand up paddle boarding from Havana, Cuba to Key West, Florida! It took her 27 hours and 48 minutes. She’s a rockstar!
Victoria believes that the journey to weight loss is more important than the number on the scale itself: the key to the success of her clients lies in creating new habits that are enjoyable while practicing patience and consistency.
Outside of coaching and staying active on the water, Victoria enjoys spending much-needed time with friends, family, and her two dogs. Having fun and enjoying life helps create that perfect balance between her professional and personal life.
Probably the most telling success about Victoria as a coach is the numerous clients who, after attaining their goals, refer back years later to thank her for the long-lasting impact she made in their lives. Knowing that her guidance in life continues to influence people's lives even after coaching has ended keeps her passionate and driven to continue helping others transform their lives.
