Hi, I'm Virginia deRaddo
As an ACE certified personal trainer, I work with individuals and small groups from my micro-gym in Willow Glen, San Jose.
Get an effective workout whether it's 1x1, with a buddy or in one of the classes. Both my Parkinson's program, Parkies Punch Back, and sessions with those without PD include endurance work, pushing yourself with high-intensity exercises, opportunities to work on balance (that go beyond standing on one leg), agility, cardio, dual-tasking and lots more!
Fitness Training
Virginia Trainer
Longevity training for everyone
Stop punishing your body—start
fueling your future. Fitness shouldn't
be a chore or a source of pain.
We’ve traded the "no pain, no gain" mentality for a focus on longevity, providing effective, enjoyable workouts in an environment that actually cheers you on.
Our programming blends traditional strength training with functional movement and high-intensity intervals. You won't just get fit; you'll master functional fitness—the kind that makes everyday life easier.
Get ready for dual tasking which
challenges the brain and body
simultaneously.
As we age, power is often the first thing we lose. Without it, simple tasks like getting off a low sofa can become a struggle. That’s why we incorporate
power training which will provide the explosive strength you need for
real-world independence.
Classes: Wednesdays (5:30–6:15 PM) Saturdays (8:30–9:15 AM).
Personal Training: 1-on-1 and Partner sessions available Monday–Saturday.
Parkinson's
Parkies Punch Back
Parkinson's Specific Program
Founded in 2017, Parkies Punch Back was designed to help you take control. With Parkinson’s affecting 1.1 to 1.2 million people in the U.S., staying active isn't just a suggestion—it’s a vital "daily dose" that can significantly slow the progression of PD.
We don’t believe in a "one size fits all" approach. Whether you want to build power, improve endurance, or find your rhythm, we have a space for you:
Fitness & Boxing is our most popular program. Strength, agility, balance,
dual tasking (challenge both your brain & body), fun partner drills, non-contact boxing, and more!
When: 5 sessions per week
Mon. 10am and 11am
Tues., Wed., Fri. at 10am
Don't let the name Movement Through Music fool you—this isn't a dance
class. This is about Big Movements.
We use the rhythm of music to help
your body move through all planes of motion, focusing on posture, balance, and overcoming "freezing" or small steps. Think functional training with a
beat.
When: Thursday at 11am
The Endurance & High-Intensity class
is specifically for those in the earlier stages of PD. This is a rigorous
intervals-based class to push your endurance level and test your cardiovascular limits to keep you performing at your peak.
When: Thursday at 10am
Private coaching is available and is tailored to your specific needs and goals.
