“Vilmaliz didn’t just change my body, she changed my relationship with myself. She made me feel strong when I didn’t think I was, and balanced when everything felt off-kilter. For the first time in my life, I look forward to exercise.”

-LAUREN DEVEREUX

In the photo from January 2019 I had not yet began my VB METHOD journey. In fact, it was exactly a month after that that I decided to start playing around with my own routines. A few months later I had developed the structure of has now become VB METHOD.

I began practicing the routines and creating my own unique workouts. A year and half later, my body is stronger and healthier than ever.

My goal is to give women a sustainable option for pursuing health and fitness that allows them to achieve physical transformation by simply reaching their own bodies’ potential, thus feeling great in their own skin.

It’s truly rewarding to see my physique taking the form of what my workout method can do for others including myself. But more importantly, the level of strength, balance, and control I have achieved because of it.

Today after coaching for over 10 years and working with hundreds of women with varying stories, cultural standards, physical builds, and genetics; I believe all women have the capacity to use fitness and a balanced lifestyle to help them love and care for their whole being. Self love starts with learning to accept where we are at any given moment. Once we learn to be kind with ourselves the habits we continue to build will have a truly healing and transformational impact.

“It sounds dramatic, but VB METHOD has changed my life. After 2 children, my diastasis recti made it so difficult to gain core strength and I thought a pouch-y stomach was something I had to accept for life. The VB METHOD has given me back a strong core, and even ab definition! I cannot believe it. Vilmaliz’s live classes help so much with form and keeping me motivated. Her videos support my ab work on other days even if it is just 10 minutes. Ultimately, I trust Vilmaliz as one of the most knowledgeable and caring teachers I have come across. I’m very particular on how I spend money on fitness – the VB METHOD is an investment that has given me huge returns”

“I have been following VB METHOD since March 2021. I first came across V through another virtual platform when she started offering her Mat Definition classes. I used to do only these other platform’s workouts for about 2 years. There was just something about V’s teaching style that I loved and then I just started to do only V’s classes. I then started following her on Instagram and instantly signed up for a free trial on the VB METHOD and within that week period I found my new workout love!

Fitness has been something that I truly love and has changed my life drastically. I have lost over 55 pounds and down 5 jean sizes. It takes dedication and hard work. For me, it’s more than just wanting to look good but also finding a healthy balance towards optimal health.

V’s style of pilates with traditional strength training is exactly the type of work that works best for my body. The type of workout I look forward to, that is challenging and that at the end and even the next day I know I had a great workout, but that I’m not in pain or hurting my body from overdoing it.

The results in just 9 months’ time in my abs and overall body composition, I could have never imagined. Not to mention the strength and stamina I have gained. If anyone is on the fence about signing up, please have this be your “Let’s do it” moment! Not to mention, V is always looking for recommendations as to what her members want to see on the streaming platform and she’s so interactive with you on social media. V, I cannot thank you enough!”

I have been working out with Vilmaliz since 2016 and she has been an instrumental part of my fitness journey. She has kept me fit & strong over these five years and helped me achieve specific fitness goals through some major life milestones, which included my wedding and two pregnancies. She is goal oriented and pushes you without being too pushy, always with a focus on proper form and progression. We started with private in-person reformer classes weekly. Once I moved from NYC to the West Coast in 2019, we continued weekly mat pilates sessions virtually over Zoom. She can monitor proper form well through this virtual medium. We had weekly lessons throughout my entire first pregnancy and after having my first child, she put together a comprehensive program to get my body back to “pre-baby” shape – which we successfully achieved! I am currently 36 weeks pregnant with baby #2 and once again, we have had weekly pilates sessions over Zoom throughout this entire pregnancy and I feel strong and in shape. I am happy to report that I was recently accessed by a physical therapist who told me I have an extraordinarily strong core and minimal diastasis recti (abdominal separation) – I must thank Vilma for that! Besides being an excellent fitness partner, Vilmaliz is a true delight, beautiful inside and out and she will be your advocate & cheerleader to help you be your best self!

“In both of these photos, my weight was the same. The most notable difference is a result of body re-composition.”

WHAT CLIENTS AND MEMBERS ARE SAYING

Quote

“Working with Vilmaliz is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. She totally changed my approach to working out (run or die!) and showed me the benefits of switching up my routine: within weeks, I began seeing ab definition and was capable of movements I never thought possible. I’m more balanced and have more strength than ever before.”

“Working out with Vilmaliz has brought me back into shape, given me a healthy lifestyle, and given me the confidence to fight off Covid as well as a neurological condition I suffer from. She makes zoom pilates sessions at home, an equally effective and complete session as one in a studio using the reformer. She is gentle yet strong to challenge and encourages me to push past my limits. I feel truly lucky to have found her.”

“Vilma is fantastic! She keeps me challenged and motivated. I’m a mother to two small children and I’m finally getting my body and strength back, especially in my core!”

“I look forward to Vilmaliz’s live classes every week! If I start my Monday without her class the rest of my day/week seems off balance. Not only is the class extremely challenging, but her energy is so positive that I don’t focus on anything else- it’s my version of meditation! Love the classes and love her!”

“I’m a really tough critic when it comes to fitness instructors and finding people that make the bar. I want someone who motivates. I want someone who talks the talk and walks the walk. I want someone who knows their stuff and can help me learn and grow more. In other words I have a lot of criteria because time is precious and this is the only body I’ve got. V embodies ALL these things and more. I’ve been a client of hers for many years (back when she taught in NYC) and am just delighted that I can now follow her virtually through her method. The library is filled with great, specifically targeted, workouts AND you get live classes too (which are the best)! She really is amazing.”

“Vilmaliz is hands down the best trainer I have ever worked with and she has helped me become the fittest and strongest I’ve ever been. Vilmaliz will challenge you to that place where real change happens and do it with empathy and encouragement. Her method is totally unique and her creativity comes from a deep understanding and intuition about what each person needs. As someone who has had two c-sections and has tried everything, I am so glad to train with Vilmaliz. She is a game-changer!”

“I’ve been doing pilates for years and I can confidently say that Vilma is the best pilates teacher that I have had the pleasure of working with. Her workouts are always challenging (the burn is real!) and I have learned so much from her in the few months that we have worked together. Through her workouts and cueing, I have learned how to activate my deep core muscles, which has led to overall increased strength and definition in my core. Her workouts will truly change your body if you are willing to put in the work!”

“I look forward to taking the VB METHOD classes and without a doubt know I will be challenged each time. Once the workout is completed, I feel toned and tight. The absolute best ab workout ever! Vilmaliz is a detailed and thoughtful instructor and always motivational.”

“I’ve been taking the VB METHOD classes since March and I have never felt stronger! I’m not a naturally athletic person, so the classes have been very challenging, but so rewarding. I’ve never been in the flat stomach club, but I can tell you that my core has more definition now that it has in years. I really appreciate Vilmaliz’s encouraging and descriptive guidance through all the exercises, so I understand each muscle and breath I should be working with throughout class. She’s also been super helpful and illuminating when I’ve had nutrition questions. I can’t recommend VB METHOD enough!”

“Working with Vilmaliz and being a part of the VB METHOD has given me a core I never knew I had…and a stronger body all around! Moving into my 60’s she has given me the proper technique to keep me moving forward to function and move fluidly in my later years…and looking fit and tight as well, giving me the best body I can have! Her devotion to her clients shows up in her every day having a variety of videos, classes and new moves keep exercising fresh and never boring!”

“I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to work with V in her group virtual mat pilates classes and private virtual sessions on my home reformer. As someone who strength trained as a primary fitness modality, even during pregnancy, I never found enjoyment in classical pilates classes despite how good they made me feel. As I was returning to fitness and work post C-section, I realized that I needed to reconnect with my core and strengthen my postural muscles that were affecting the way I stand, move and participate in daily life activities. Her easy to follow cues and detailed instructions made my transition to pilates smooth and had my muscles activated in minutes! V’s classes, especially the private sessions through the use of props on the reformer have been a game changer in helping achieve my individual strength goals (deep core and back body) with physical transformation as a side effect.”

“I’ve always been a huge fan of Pilates but I struggled to find an at home platform with Pilates workouts that felt challenging enough… until I found V! Her workouts are the perfect blend of classic pilates with an athletic twist. Her use of weights and props is genius and I’ve never seen anything like it.

The workouts are gentle yet SO effective. I have never seen results so quickly! This is the kind of workout style that I can see myself doing for decades, and that makes me even more grateful to have found VB method. It feels like so much more than just a workout platform: it’s a lifestyle. I look forward to being on the mat with V every day”
