Hello friend,
I'm certain we're not all that different.
I have high aspirations as I'm sure you do, and I always consider myself a work in progress-throw out what doesn't work, keep what does. I'm positive you live your life the same way too.
My Mission: I will treat you with great empathy; respect where you are; help you commit to your goals without working harder on it than you do. I will empower you with the truth about the importance of muscle for the vitality and maintenance of your body from birth to the grave.
So...COME ON IN, use the navigation bar on the upper left, let me show you what you need to know to learn and continue to grow towards the person you can be.
Most Sincerely,
Velma Garnes, MS, NASM-PES

Here is what others had to say:
| "Velma introduced me to the wonderful world of SPINNING and it has been a
regular part of my workout routine ever since. I love the energy and
calorie burn I get from Spinning. Velma is a great instructor who has
made me a spinning snob. I need an instructor who is challenging,
engaging and fun. Velma is all of this and more. I credit my weight loss
and maintenance to her ability to inspire and motivate me."
- Yvette McGee Brown, President of The Center for Child and Family Advocacy at Children's Hospital |
"As someone who has never prioritized fitness, Velma was able to capture my
interest in exercise. Participation in her spinning classes proved to be
an efficient and energizing exercise that I looked forward to several times
a week.
Her style is no-nonsense yet friendly with a serious passion for
enhancing each person's physical condition at a pace that is right for
them."
- Cindy Hlsheimer, Owner SCS Search Consultants |
"Velma is an inspiration. She makes me want to be a
healthier person in mind, spirit and body. She is so
positive and uplifting.
Under her coaching, I have learned
to love my body. I eat healthier today than I ever have in
my life. I am more committed to exercise - I enjoy it (she
helped me realize the fun and diversity). She has so
inspired me that I am running my first half marathon this
spring! I know I will do it, I will finish the
race....because Velma is training me and has taught me to
believe in me and my strength!
She is so knowledgeable.
She is a natural teacher. She doesn't just tell me
"what to do" but she tells me why - she explains the impact, alternatives and the results that will come .
I highly recommend Velma as a trainer - she will have such a
positive impact on you, as she has for me".
- Jodie Bare, Vice President, Cott Systems

| "My life was great; however, in terms of fitness I was at a plateau. I was not
losing the weight I wanted and I felt I was doing the cardio I needed to
get my weight down but I was not getting the desired results. I have been an athlete all my life and I knew I had the ability to do the work and take on the challenge - that is what
motivated me to try SPINNING.
I noticed more strength in my quadriceps and they were becoming more firm and shapely. I have lower back problems and I noticed after I began Spinning on a regular basis the issues with my lower back were less frequent. My entire body started to change because I was burning more calories in one 45 minute
Spinning class than running for one hour on the treadmill. Overall my life and health are fantastic!
Since taking classes at StudioTemple with Velma, I became a certified SPINNING instructor myself. I have altered my diet - I eat more organic foods. I eliminate high fructose corn syrup from my diet as much as possible. I believe that has also helped me lose the additional weight."
- Christina Wilson MS, Task Force Director of The Columbus Coalition Against Family Violence

| "Velma is such an inspiration to me. Because of her, I have lost a total of 80 pounds with only 30 more to go. I now have a zest for working out; eating right (semi-organically) and I am enjoying my new found life!!!! Thank you Velma!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
- Sylvia Kelley, Executive Assistant, CSU Athletics Department |
"Velma Garnes has been the epitomy of fitness as long as I've known her. She has competed in mini and full marathons just to see if she could.
She inspires her students to give more during her training sessions and they respond well to her motivation and her enthusiasm, which indicates that she loves what she does.
If you want a truly motivating and moving training experience, look this trainer up because she is definitely worth it.
Trust me when I say that I know training that is both intense and demanding.
Semper Fidelis Velma"
