Vicky Geeroms
I’m the daughter of Wilfried Geeroms, Belgian hurdle specialist, 11-time Belgian Champion in that discipline and finalist on the 400m hurdles at the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo; and of Michèle Attenberger, former athlete and physical education teacher. Needless to say, my brother and I were surrounded by sports, exercise and health from an early age on.
To uncover your true potential you must first find your own limits and then you have to have the courage to blow past them.
That didn’t stop me from choosing a totally different path in my studies. After completing my Master’s in ‘Communication Sciences’ and another one in ‘European Politics, Cultures and Societies’, I eagerly moved to Los Angeles in 1996 to get an additional Journalism Certificate at UCLA. While living in California, my passion for fitness and health grew and I soon became a certified nutritional counselor and personal trainer and started working at 24-HR Fitness.
Sports were always a passion. Now fitness has become a lifestyle.
Making a difference
One session at a time.
I am a National Strength and Conditioning Association Certified Personal Trainer, Apex Fitness Professional, National Academy of Sports Medicine Certified Personal Trainer; educations and certificates I followed and earned in the United States. I am serious about my job and keep my knowledge up to date by attending conventions, lectures and by earning the necessary credits to keep my certificate valid.
Starting as an Apex Fitness Professional at 24HR-Fitness, I helped people adopt healthy eating habits to positively influence their body composition. I continued doing so in Belgium, where I also assisted top athletes, such as the late Frank Vandenbroucke (cyclist), Emile Mpenza (soccer player), Kevin Vanderperren (ice skater), Katleen De Caluwé and Frauke Penen (both part of the Belgian female 4×100 team), Iris Van Hecke (member of the female Belgian field hockey team) and others.
I also help everyday people get the results they are looking for.
I take my job seriously, but enjoy life in a silly way. Catch me dancing on my own in my pj’s in my kitchen on a Saturday evening, drinking G&T’s, making funny faces on photos and going all-out crazy at festivals and concerts. I’m the kinda girl that never really grew up.
“Was suffering from ongoing headaches, back pain and stiff necks from international flights, hotel beds and the like. Was referred to Vicky and her personal programs by our doctor. My wife and I started going, the extra fitness would not go wasted either! The transformation was amazing. Focusing on the core really helped resolve my key complaints. The best is the advice on posture while doing the exercises so you do them right. Also customised for problem areas like a weaker knee. Cannot recommend Vicky enough, transformed my core health. We’ve now been working with her for over 10 years!”
