Vicky’s Journey
Vicky Loza sees movement and fitness as the foundation to strong mental health.
She’s invested in fighting the stigma around mental health in Black and Brown communities, and providing honest and attainable fitness resources and education.
Growing up as the eldest of three siblings in a single-parent home, Loza worked three jobs during her teens and twenties to help her close-knit family in any way possible. When she was 19, her mother called her out for not prioritizing healthy habits, which was the catalyst of Loza’s fitness journey. She started with at-home workouts (on DVDs!), then hired a personal trainer and joined a gym. Along the way she entered a bodybuilding competition, where she saw countless poor eating and fitness habits firsthand, and later was inspired to become an ISSA-certified personal trainer.
Her programs, events and resources have inspired thousands of people to find comfort and confidence in taking time to care for their physical and mental health, no matter their age, life stage, or health goal.
Fitness is not about a number on the scale, or about how you look. It's about how you feel. I think movement should be a daily thing that you do, because you love yourself and you want to move your body.
