vicki Lane - a trainer with poise
I was born in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. My father was an engineer and mother an art critic. Since the age of seven I was doing ballroom dancing. At the age of sixteen I founded my own dance group “Galaktika” with which I danced and performed in various gala events (like Miss Photo Baltic, rock and pop stars concerts…), banquets, presentations, TV programmes and advertising compaigns (like Toyota, Pepsi-Cola…) for 10 years in Lithuania.
In 2001 I came to USA to compete at the finals of the “Showbiz National Talent Competition”. Having taken second place, I settled in Los Angeles to perfect my skills in jazz and hip hop with the world best choreographers (like Wade Robson, Eddie Garcia, Tabitha and Napoleon and so on). However while spending multiple hours dancing I injured my knee. This was the breaking point to switch my career from dancing to training. My training certifications include:
Personal Trainer certified with AFTA (American Fitness Training of Athletics)
Personal Trainer certified with NASM (National Academy of Sports and Medicine)
Dance & Fitness Instructor certified with PTA (Private Trainers Association)
Weight Loss Specialist certified with NASM (National Academy of Sports and Medicine)
Performance Specialist with EXOS (leader in integrated performance training)
For the last 10 years I was living and working as a personal trainer in Pasadena. I want to help my clients to lose weight, be fit, slim and healthy. My workouts focusing on tightening core, toning muscles, improving balance, posture, increasing flexibility, enhancing overall strength and performance.
See you in the gym!

Testimonials
John Frank
“Ever since I began working out with Vicki, girls want to be with me and guys want to be like me.
Seriously, Vicki is the best. I have worked out regularly with Vicki for more than eight years. I’m in the best shape of my life: toned, flexible and fit. Now if Vicki could just sit on my shoulder and stop me from eating pizza, sweets and other “no-no’s”, I truly would be the envy of all!” - John Frank
Kathleen Grzegorek
“Vicki brings all the parts of being and excellent fitness instructor into her work with me. She lives and breathes fitness - meaning she does the research, stays current on the field, tailors the workout to my goals and inspires me to reach them! Vicki really thinks about the type of workout I should do balancing different goals such as strength, tone, balance, cardio and weight maintenance. With our workouts, she watches me very closely, sometimes doing the exercises with me if I can’t get it right and constantly modifying the program, gearing it towards where I want to go. She’s very motivational, in a gentle but firm manner. So many times, I started a workout being tired and not thinking I could make it through a workout, and then, she helped me through it and I did even better than both of us would have predicted! I feel as if I’m getting the best of the fitness world - all tailored specifically for me!” - Kathleen Grzegorek
Whitney Max
“If you are looking for a personal trainer, I highly recommend Vicki Lane at Body By Vicki. She is the PERFECT combination in a trainer. Friendly, happy, energetic and patient. She really pays attention to what’s working and not working within the work out. She keeps the workouts fresh by continuously inserting new exercises. They are still working all the same muscles, but it feels new and is a great way to stay motivated. I highly recommend her.
This is private gym and studio. It’s you and your trainer. I can’t possibly think of a better way to work out!” - Whitney Max
Ralph Shapira
“My life is much better since I discovered Vicki 4 years ago. She makes working out such fun that I’ve gotten my butt out of my desk chair for the first time in 40 years and into my best physical shape since college.
It’s made everything in my life better: my moods, my outlook, my sleep, my strength and stamina. Please don’t all of you call her -- I want to be sure she’ll always have plenty of time for me and my wife.” - Ralph Shapira
Richard Lee
“Vicki Lane has been my personal trainer for approximately 10 months now. I am in the best shape I have been in my life. I’ve lost 30 lbs since I began training. I’m sure I’ve lost more than 30 lbs in fat, because I’ve gained a lot more muscle. The results have been amazing. I’m about 2 pant size smaller, and I now wear medium-large t shirts (used to be XL). I’m better at all the activities that I love to do. I’ve gained a club length in my all clubs in golf (I believe from shear core strength). I can ride dirt bikes and atvs all weekend and not get tired like I used to.
From what I’ve seen, Vicki has a wide variety of clients, of all different body types and athletic ability and can customize her workouts accordingly. She has customized our workouts based on whatever my goal is at that time. In the beginning we focused on losing weight, then we transitioned into gaining muscle. Now we are doing a good mix of strength training, supersets, mixed with high intensity cardio type exercises.
Vicki is not only professional in structuring our workouts, but is very professional when it comes to service. She is always on time, has excellent communication, and always tries to accommodate my constantly changing schedule.
I highly recommend Vicki as a personal trainer. However, if you are looking for a drill sergeant type to yell in your face, she’s probably not the one for you” - Richard Lee
Diann Kim
“I started working out with Vicki for the usual reasons - to lose a few pounds, to improve my strength and muscle tone, and to try to capture the energy that comes from regular exercise. Vicki helped me achieve that and more, with her gentle, low-key manner, her carefully-prepared workout plans, and the variety of exercise and equipment she incorporates to keep our workouts interesting, effective and fun. I must say that she has become a friend - someone I look forward to seeing, whose company is incredibly pleasant and supportive, and who pushes me with humor to keep it up and try harder.” - Diann Kim
Helen Nedelman
“I decided to work with a trainer to help with strength and balance. I am a “mature” woman in my early 60’s and was not interested in a trainer who would push me like I was 20. I felt I needed a trainer who would work with me based on my particular needs and goals. Also, I was recovering from knee surgery for a torn meniscus and feeling a bit impatient with my recovery. I feel lucky to have found Vicki Lane! Five months after beginning twice-weekly sessions with her I was able to participate in a five-day hiking trip in southwest Colorado, pain free with confidence in my abilities.
Vicki is extremely conscientious and always evaluating my progress and refining the routines. She is professional, but also warm and supportive. The added bonus is that we laugh a lot. For the first time in my life exercise is fun!” - Helen Nedelman

“Vicki was not only professional. She made it fun to exercise and I’m happy the way I look and feel today.” - Peter Gragnani
Sloan de Forest
“Vicki is amazing. Before I started working out with her, I hated going to the gym. In fact, I never went to the gym... which was obvious, judging by my saddlebags and abs of Jell-O. After purchasing my first (and last!) pair of “fat jeans”, I finally decided to get a personal trainer to whip my flab into shape.
I’m so glad I picked Vicki. She’s everything a trainer should be -- firm, friendly, supportive, caring, filled with knowledge. She knows exactly what exercises to do to work the right muscles, and is always ready to offer suggestions for maintaining a healthy lifestyle too.
Bonus: She’s in awesome shape herself, which inspires me to look HALF as good as she does. And thanks to her, I’m getting closer! I’m now 12 lbs lighter, 2 sizes smaller and feeling so much better about myself. No more fat jeans!!! Thanks, Vicki!” - Sloan de Forest
