My name is Vikki Gladney, founder, and owner of Natural Measures Cycling.
In 2018, shortly after surgery, I began to pursue a deeper journey into weight loss and fitness. It was not enough for me to only desire a “nice physique” (I admit I started with that singular intention). Yet, my purpose quickly shifted into a pursuit of inner energy and outer strength; and with each improvement, I wanted more!
After enduring my first hip-hop cycling class, I immediately fell in love with this fun method of exercise! Not only did it offer me the cardio and endurance needed to shed pounds, but this style of spin added strength and sculpting to my workout regimen. I knew very quickly that I wanted to be an instructor, and with a twist of fate, I became a spin coach with my local YMCA.
As a wife, grandmother, and mother of four adult daughters, I want to inspire my family, peers, and community to reach their full physical potential. With that said, my goals have now shifted into a holistic and “natural” approach to wellness; first promoting self-love and care. I recently reinvented my love for fashion and styling into a personal shopping and wardrobing business; in which I combine my life and image coaching skills. Doing so has afforded me the opportunity to use my own testimony to inspire other overcomers, and I plan to do the same with Natural Measures! I believe my story, knowledge, challenges, and victories will motivate clients of all ages to tap into the best version of themselves!
Not only do I love spinning; I yearn to help others do away with self-condemnation and limiting beliefs; and replace it with a sense of energy, enthusiasm, and a positive self-image (the process and life lessons that I do had to endure and grow from). I am now blessed to take what I am passionate about and transform it into a service to the community!
