[High Five] We gave a High Five to Victoria Hogue, a Master Trainer and Instructor at STRONG Pilates in Austin, TX.

Wellcomm: Where do you work out?

Victoria Hogue: I’m rowing, riding, strength training, and doing Pilates at STRONG Pilates, of course!

WC: What does wellness mean to you?

VH: Wellness is mind, body and soul. My biggest thing I tell others is to take time for yourself! For me, that looks like relaxing my mind by being outdoors, breathing in fresh air, enjoying the sun, and being near water. I’m moving my body daily, even if it’s just a walk outside with the pups. It also means nourishing my soul through faith and surrounding myself with people who genuinely love and care about my wellbeing.

WC: What are your wellness goals over the next twelve months?

VH: My biggest goal is to continue rebuilding my strength post-op. I had meniscus surgery last summer and have had a really tough recovery, so gaining my strength back is my top priority. Outside of that, I want to continue educating myself on nutrition, further my skills as a coach, find more days of true rest (hard to come by these days, as we all know), and overall continue working toward a more peaceful lifestyle.

WC: Who are some people who inspire you, motivate you, or keep you accountable when it comes to your wellness?

VH: I am very lucky to have some incredible people in my life who help support, motivate and inspire me, and whom I also admire deeply: Carla O'Connor, Mo Harris, Shannon Togher, Kendra Blair, Katie Rosko, Lindsey Bone, Shelby Smith, and, of course, my husband, Charles, and my family.

WC: What advice would you share with someone looking to change their wellness routine?

VH: Avoid the mindset that you’re going to change overnight. Change takes time, as cliché as it sounds and as frustrating as it can be. Find movement you genuinely enjoy, that’s fun, and that makes you feel good, versus forcing yourself to do something that constantly feels like a chore. Don’t try to overhaul your life all at once. Pick a priority, give yourself truly attainable goals, and give yourself grace when you have hiccups. Wellness and fitness are not linear!

These events will be shared with all Wellcomm email subscribers, but submissions from former High Fives who are subscribers are prioritized, ideally for events they’re organizing, leading, or personally involved with.

We’ll feature one event per week, so spots are limited. We’re grateful for everything our High Fives do for our fitness community and are excited to share these exclusive ongoing updates from the best of Austin!
