Empowered Movement
WE TRAIN THE FEMALE LIFE CYCLE
VICTRESS MVMT fitness methodology is founded on the principle of making sure every stage of a woman’s unique physiology is addressed with evidence based programming. Utilizing progressive overload strength principles, we use intentional progression in sets, repetitions, movements or time under tension to make sure that we are achieving appropriate progress in movement and strength. Every stage of life for a woman comes with changes internally and externally and we are here to make sure that movement within each stage changes to best meet their needs.
Women’s Fitness
Our general fitness programming follows five different cycles ranging from eight to sixteen weeks in length, founded in strength training with cardiovascular stimulus as well.
Prenatal
Prenatal programming program is written with intentionality of pregnancy progression and physical changes of weeks four through forty-two.
Postpartum
Movement in the postpartum healing phase is meant to be slow with emphasis on core and posterior chain activation and strength.
Pre+Post Menopause
Our menopause programming takes into account the fluctuations in abilities to recover, changes in body composition and increased need for strength training.
WHY OWN A VICTRESS MVMT LOCATION?
VICTRESS MVMT set out to be different. Our coaches use evidence-based techniques to train our members in each stage of life, ultimately improving strength and overall health through safe, functional movement. We are dedicated to creating meaningful change in the world, and we believe that change can start with movement. We’ve seen firsthand how creating a space that positively impacts our members can be a catalyst for a positive impact on the world around them.
How It All Started
When VICTRESS was founded in 2018, by Stasi Grenfell and Stacy Orsborn, the vision was simple: Create a space for women to come together at any stage of their life, especially in the motherhood transition, to find education, community and empowered movement in functional fitness.
Our Mission
We specialize in women’s fitness and intentional training for the various stages of the female life cycle.
Founded on the simple belief that movement should be intentional and strength is transformative, we’re here to empower you through movement, thoughtfully programmed to meet you in every stage of life.

SERVICES WE OFFER
WOMEN'S GROUP TRAINING
Strength focused; empowered movement is the name of our game. Each programming cycle is built upon the foundations of breathing patterns and core stabilization. Stimulus will vary, but you’ll find a balanced blend of strength training and metabolic conditioning in each workout. Each class is one hour in length and includes a dynamic warm-up, strength training component and workout of the day. All new members are required to complete a comprehensive Onboarding prior to beginning group classes.
PRENATAL + POSTPARTUM PROGRAMMING
The transition into motherhood can be one of the most empowering and rewarding experiences in a woman’s life. We believe in approaching exercise during this stage of life with intentional awareness to changes in a woman’s body during pregnancy as well as postpartum sets a foundation of success and empowerment for many years to come.
Our Prenatal Program is week specific programming over the course of pregnancy. The Postpartum MVMT Series is a month-long workshop program with the intention to rebuild and connect to your core and major muscle groups, gain knowledge and tools in regards to nutrition and healing timelines, and connect with other women in similar stages of life. Return to Movement Postpartum is a four week program written to fill in the need for a few more weeks of intentional programming after completing the Postpartum MVMT series and before returning to group class.
PERI+POST MENOPAUSE GROUP TRAINING
Taking into account the average ten years that a woman spends in the perimenopause transition, over half of her life is spent within this stage of life. We recognize the need for movement programming that takes into account the fluctuation and then loss of hormones that have been regulating much of our performance up to this point. Our menopause programming prioritizes strength, appropriate cardiovascular and plyometric intensities as well as balance. We recommend women in this stage of life to lean in, with intention and push harder in your training sessions, while prioritizing recovery and daily movement.
INTRO TO WEIGHTLIFTING
Exercise and frequent activity for youth is critical to their ability to develop into happy, healthy, active adults. Our intro to weightlifting program equips our younger generation with the tools to feel safe and empowered when they enter a weight room. Each one-hour class is dedicated to education and practice of basic lifting techniques while building strength and endurance. Limited and Unlimited Memberships available!
PERSONAL TRAINING
Not quite ready for a group class setting? Considering returning to movement after injury or life event? Prefer more individual attention? Our multi-talented team is also equipped for individual training! These one-on-one sessions are unique to you and your specific goals. Personal Training services are separate from membership. Coach availability and pricing varies.
