Meet Visakha - PT

Visakha (pronounced Vee- Shaka) is a roller derby athlete, and former librarian. Her roller derby name is Yoga Nabi Sari (say it real fast - you’re gonna be sorry). As part of the “great resignation/reshuffle” of 2021 she decided that life was too short and decided to follow her passion for wellness.  She made a major career change from records management to Certified Personal Fitness Trainer, and water aerobics instructor. 

Visakha brings with her over 25 years of workout experience, and over 15 years of training for and playing competitive roller derby, program design, and injury rehabilitation.

“I want my clients to appreciate what their bodies can do, live pain free, and enjoy working out at the gym. I want to help clients learn how to use the gym, get strong, and be safe. I have coached clients of all ages, 12-96 years young!”

Besides skating Visakha enjoys playing hockey, and pickleball and dabbles in climbing, and running events including Hood to Coast.
