Meet Zia!

talented—selfless—competitive

Zia is so talented!   We are so thankful to have the privilege of calling her our friend.  She is no stranger to the fitness world and quickly adjusted to the Vie lifestyle.  She’s fast, she’s strong, and out of this world talented at everything she does.  We might as well start calling her Queen Midas because everything she touches turns to gold. If you need instant proof of this, look at the beautiful works or art she creates out of sugar cookies (siftbakery)!  Zia, we notice your will to always give it your all at every workout. Yes, this even includes the 5:30am class time!  The way you workout will bleed into every corner of your life.  You don’t shy away from pain and you encourage the women around you every day. We notice you, we look up to you, and we love you.  Thank you for adding such strength to our community.

♥ How long have you been a member at Vie?

I have been a member of Vie since February. (Valentine’s Day gift from my husband!)

♥ What does Vie mean to you?

My life outside of Vie is very hectic as it is for most of us. Vie is really the one thing I do for myself on a daily basis. It give me one hour of my day to stop and focus on myself. (Not to sound selfish at all.)

♥How has Vie made an impact on your life?

When people ask me why I love Vie I always tell them it is really the only thing I do for myself during the day. It has made me a better mother and wife. Not to mention the amount of mental and physical gains I have made since going to Vie. Transitioning from a college athlete into the “real world” is a tough transition. I used to say I would give anything to go back to college and have at least one more basketball practice, having someone in the gym pushing you to be better was something I missed. Vie gives me that healthy competition and I love the idea of having someone push me to be better. Vie has changed my life and I am so grateful for the vision behind this gym.

♥ What music gets you pumped for a workout?

My basketball past usually comes out here, I like any pop, rap/hip-hop.

♥ What thoughts run through your mind during a workout?

I hope my pants aren’t see-through.

♥ What motivates you to get to Vie every day? 

The sense of community I feel when I am there, my friends and the anxiety of what the work-out will be for the day. Usually praying pull-ups and burpees aren’t on the list.
