Take it from me - she's amazing! I had NEVER been a "group fitness or class girl" but she makes it FUN and HARD all at the same time! Worth every penny and then some! It's as if you have a PRIVATE instructor because she makes sure your form is correct and checks on you if you aren't there! JOIN IN ..... and the best part is that you don't have to live in CARY to do it! ZOOM is your friend! We still go to the gym AND I take her classes several times a month - it's THAT GOOD!

I'm BEYOND GRATEFUL for you sister & this amazing fitness family that u started & brought me into. You have completely supported me! Aka when I thought u were crazy for thinking I could do this! You completely believed in me! Stalked me! Motivated me when I felt defeated! So So much more!! You are the true inspirational motivation of this entire group that has brought me this far! You completely inspire me sister! So thank you for doing this for me/others as it has changed my life. You are the reason I will never forget the #74 what it meant to me!

Think Peloton can beat Angi training on Zoom? I'd challenge that opinion. Your Peloton coach won't know you personally-- Angi will. She knows what you can do and pushes you harder because of that. And the workouts are so varied, more than just cycling or cardio. I've gained strength and definition while losing 20 pounds and 3 inches in the waist. For less than a Starbucks a day, you can have a personal trainer.

I’ve been working out with Angi for 8.5 months and her classes are highlight of my day. Every day is something new. She makes classes fun and challenging at the same time. I am in the best shape of my life and I never thought I would love my body more after kids than I did before. Thanks, Angi!

Rachel E

OK.... so this is Angi every single day!!! Because seriously everyday is a different workout, I really don’t know how she manages to come up with a different workout for everyday for over 6 months! AND they are awesome, love the mix of cardio, strength and especially Tabata! Thank you Workout with Angi Fitvds for keeping us fit, sane and healthy, so grateful for the fitness community you have built!!

I started working out with Angi 8 months ago when the pandemic hit. I am so lucky to have found Angi & this amazing fitness group. I workout with Angi every morning. She is patient, passionate & demonstrates the correct form. She corrects you & encourages you. Every workout session is different & is more about the right form & building strength that makes it so effective. Her workouts are organized & challenging. There is also a stretch & yoga class that I love. Since I started working out with her there is a noticeable improvement in my form & stamina & the way I feel. I've finally reached my goal weight & I'm in the best shape of my life. I'm so lucky to have found her. She is the best.

've spent the last four years as an avid CrossFitter. Then, COVID struck. With gyms getting shut down, I turned to other options. My long time high school friend, Angi "Makosky" van de Sande invited me to join her virtual work out group. I thought I was in good shape until I started trying to keep up with her. My big thick CrossFit thighs just felt so heavy! Even though I have not been a continuous member of Angi's virtual workout group, she has kept me motivated. She hasn't stopped encouraging and inviting me to her group since COVID reared its ugly head. Angi is truely inspiring. Her passion to help others become healthier is unbelievable. She has been selfless during all this. Angi is a ROCKSTAR in my book.

Angi has lit a fire in me that no other instructor has in my years of practicing fitness. I look forward to my fitness time with Angi and our fitness family everyday. She exudes a passion and deep caring for each individual that keeps us all coming back for more. Thank you for keeping me healthy! You are my angel!!

Patty H

My peak of physical fitness and strength was achieved when I was working out 3 or 4 times a week in Angi's classes. Angi pushes and challenges you and after the workout, you want to literally thank her for almost killing you. Angi is the one of the kindest, approachable, and fun coaches ever! You always made me feel empowered and I truly miss you like crazy!!! Love you!

Yvonne B

I have been working out with Angi since the pandemic hit! She has kept me from going insane because fitness is such an important part of my everyday routine. Her classes are challenging and constantly changing. I am a person that likes a challenge and gets bored easily with a fitness routine. She has kept me motivated and determined throughout the past year. I feel like I continue to get stronger. I know that I would not be in as good of shape if it wasn't for Angi. I love her and the community so much! Her and this community has been a blessing this year.

Need a work out with a live experienced coach? Angi is the one for you! I’ve known Angi for over two years and I’ve taken her classes at the gym on a regular basis until Covid hit. Thank goodness she started the live zoom workouts. She has shown her dedication, and expertise in developing various exercise programs designed to fit any fitness level. She genuinely makes you feel welcome, personally checks your form while you are working out. She has created a special fitness family atmosphere with all of us. She does an amazing job with mixing up total body exercises. I have done regular exercise apps in the past, but I had trouble getting motivated to start. But knowing that Angi’s class is at a particular time it is easier for me to show up and it also pushes me to work harder knowing that she is watching me live versus a pre-recorded trainer. Being a physical therapist and someone who has exercised regularly over the past several years and essentially been active with sports all my life, at 51 I am in the best shape of my life!! I have noticed results by working out with Angi approximately six times a week. Even without changing my diet I have definitely noticed more muscle tone. I feel healthier and stronger because of her!! I have practiced in an orthopedic physical therapy setting for over 26 years, I have continuously learned the recent evidence based functional exercise concepts and the proper Body mechanics to make the exercise is most effective and reduce the chance of injury. I can honestly say Angi is teaching the updated concepts to get the results you need. We are so thankful she has continued this program over the past several months. It doesn’t matter what fitness level you are because modifications are given. She is easy to talk to and is available to help with your needs. You won’t be disappointed! Admire your hard work, dedication to keep things fresh! And your inspiration to many of us! Thank you for creating a sense of family with all of us . I think it’s important during this time.

Are you seriously seeking to raise your fitness level? Do you want to be a part of a life-changing journey of health and wellness? Then, Angi is the perfect trainer for you! In December 2019, she introduced herself to me when I was at a low point with respect to my training/wellness. A friend and I were trying to perform push-ups in one of the studios. Angi was passing through the room and could sense that I was dissatisfied with my performance and lack of progress. She offered a few tips and invited us to visit her class. On the following week, we started attending her classes and the rest is history. Since COVID-19, I have participated in her virtual classes. I have lost 25lbs, over 10% body fat and I have gained an empowering community of fitness. I am convinced that her weekly preparation, knowledge about training, enthusiasm, and ability to engage participants of various skill levels are exemplary. My strength and endurance have progressed beyond my expectations. With renewed confidence, my goals have shifted. Angi has been a major factor of this success. She has an infectious, congenial spirit and goes out of her way to make everyone feel welcome. Faith, Family, Fitness and Fun! -Bruce G.

Thank you Angi for being an inspiration to all of us. As an early workout person, I need an opportunity to keep a routine and my fitness regimen going-so grateful for this. Also collaborating with other fitness trainers, has been amazing to add to our class variety. It also gives us an opportunity to grab at least one workout if not more throughout the day!! Thank you for dedicating so much of your time to all of us. It's truly a wonderful group of people!!

Carolyn S

I can attest! Our family is very blessed to have Angi's Workouts! Her virtual fitness sessions are dynamic, challenging and inspirational. You won't experience a workout like it during a time when in person fitness classes are limited.

Lauren I

Thank You so much Angi You are our therapy in this Pandemic we love you!

Lina k

I have been taking Angi’s classes for years! She is motivational, inspirational, very knowledgeable and supportive as a fitness instructor. What makes her unique is she will push you, all of her workouts are hard and she really emphasizes correct form. She also makes a point to get to know all of her students and understands each persons strengths and areas for improvement. My fitness level is very good and I have Angi to thank for that. And guess what? The best part is we have FUN together and also share special days like birthdays! Angi, thank you so much for all you do. I am so grateful for all of the memories and AMAZING workouts!!

Karen R

Angi's classes have been a lifesaver especially when the pandemic started escalating. They've given me a healthy and productive outlet to get rid of stress. She is by far the toughest instructor I've worked with, but I'm also stronger than I've ever been. She will encourage you and push you while still being aware of your personal fitness level. And the workouts are always changing which helps keep it interesting. If you struggle to workout by yourself and miss the group setting of classes, I definitely recommend giving her classes a try!

Sana A

Thanks for all that you do ang!!!

Lauren S

I have been working out in Angi's classes for over 8 yrs. Not only are my muscles stronger but my cardio is as well!! When I first started I could not do a pushup on my toes. Now not only can I do them on my toes now but on my birthday I have to do my age in push ups - on my toes. I am now 64! I can do it because she told me I could. Every time I think I am achieving a milestone, she pushes me to the next one either increasing my weights or the number of reps. Oh and by the way, she corrects my form as well- A LOT! HA! The best part of her workouts are the variety and the challenges and encouragement! So just to let you know, start now and you can do push ups on your toes with me on my next birthday in July! She will make sure you can do 65! Thanks Angi for always being a step ahead of me!!

When I met Angi, she changed everything I know about staying fit. In every class she coached as a trainer, she always pushed me and all the participants beyond our limit. I became “Angi’s fan” and you can find me following her in almost every class she coached. When the COVID-19 started and we all were forced to go in lock down, Angi invited me and a group of other friends to join her in a Zoom group fitness with a daily schedule 7 days a week. After a few months, Angi and Robert developed the FITVDS application. It was a normal transition for me to move with her to this new phase of online fitness. FITVDS became my platform of choice for online fitness with its daily classes coached by Angi and other Trainers. The same philosophy of pushing us beyond our limit continues with FITVDS. I explored multiple online fitness programs, there is no better classes than at FITVDS. Angi and her team will call your name to encourage, push you and suggest better ways to exercise. Being part of this experience at FITVDS makes me feel being part of a family who will never let you down and continues every day to make you feel better. I am always anxious to attend a FITVDS class knowing that I will feel much better once it is over. Thanks Angi! Thanks FITVDS! Continue your great job to encourage me to go beyond my limits mentally and physically.

YOU are the Best, Thank you Angi

You have been an inspiration to me and have helped me get through the COVID days. Don't know what I would do without you!!!

Shelley M

Thanks Angi, we are so blessed to have you!

Betsy F

Om my goodness, where do I start? I have been extremely thankful to have these virtual classes to keep my fitness routine in tact during this crazy time. It keeps me not only physically but mentally strong! The flexibility of the class times, variety of workouts, and the motivation of Angi and others who show up with me keeps me going! Very thankfulto have other amazing instructors stepping in and hosting some classes throughout the week to support everyone's goals. While I'm sure I'd be doing something without these classes, I'm certain it would not be as effective as this! I love the challenges. It never gets easy, and at times I'm eye rolling, cursing, wondering how I can get through it, but I push along with everyone else and at the end of it all, feel great. We are all so fortunate to have access to such a wonderful fitness instructor and fitness group!

Kathy G

Thanks Angi! YOU are the best! You have definitely changed me!

Cr G

You and this team have been such a huge blessing to me during this crazy time! My job responsibilities have gotten even more stressful (which is why I can only make 3-4 workouts a week) but your class is my DESTRESS and RELOAD time. I am so much stronger physically and mentally due to your coaching. If I can kick a$$ in your tough class then I can certainly handle a bunch of attorneys on a daily basis! My body has certainly transformed with more muscle mass and that's been fun to see. It's all credited to your dedication and workouts. Thank you, thank you for caring enough to keep us all moving forward in such positive and uplifting ways. You are PRICELESS

Melinda S

Angi, you and this group has been amazing to me, I'm forever grateful. I have worked out during my pregnancy and now with your help and modivation, I started working out at 6 weeks postpartum. Thank you very much Angi, you are amazing, I wouldn't have done it without you.

Dalia A

I would have lost my mind by now if it wasn't for your classes in the last 8 months. I can see differences in my strength and thank you so much for your variety of classes!!

Megan A

I never thought I would give up my gym membership until Covid-19 hit and the gym closed. I took up walking every day, but that wasn’t enough for me. Joining Angi’s classes was the perfect solution to give me the workout I need. I love doing it via Zoom as I can practically roll out of bed and start exercising at 6:00 am. It is a different class every day which holds my attention and provides me with a full-body workout. I can also do pre-recorded classes when I need to. Angi is the best instructor, and I compliment her for this great exercise concept. Even though the gym is back open, I cannot see going back as long as Angi has these classes.

Sue T

Thank you! I really appreciate these classes! I find it really hard to work out on my own and am so grateful that you have created this opportunity for so many of us to continue to prioritize our health during this strange time. I've never been an athletic person, but I've tried things I never tried before. And I love how varied the workouts are ... it is constantly changing which keeps it interesting. After every workout I feel like I accomplished something. Truly, thank you so much.

Sana A

Think a Zoom workout can't be inspiring? Wrong! Angi has coached me for four years, both in person and via Zoom. I change and throw on shoes a few minutes before the workout, it's always a different mix of cardio, strength and core, and I'm already home to take a shower, no locker room or commute. And now she's recording classes, so I can do them whenever I am free. Love it!

Andrew H

Angi, the workouts and fitness program and acommunity you have created are truly amazing!!! It has helped me so much with structure to my day and not sitting in a chair for 10 hours straight! The team environment is also so motivating and encouraging! Thank you

Rachel R

I taught fitness classes with Angi for years but never had the privilege of taking many of her classes as our schedules conflicted until March of 2020. When COVID hit, my zest for exercise and yoga took a deep dive for nearly a month until I discovered she was offering online workouts. Her challenging and innovative classes provided the mojo needed to get my mojo back, and this fitness community was SO encouraging and uplifting! I absolutely love being a member of FitVDS, and waking up to start each day in an amazing way - building strength and stamina from inside to out. Thank you Angi, Renee and Deb!!

Heather B

I joined this fitness community in March 2020 and it is the best thing I have done for myself in a long time. With over 70 live classes a week and hundreds more in her video library there is a class for everyone. I have done Yoga, Beginners, Stretching, Boxing, Cardio and HIIT just to name a few. I take her with me on vacations and pull up a video when it's convenient for me! I love that she gives low, medium and high impact moves for each exercise so you can change it up according to how your body is feeling that day and still get a fantastic workout in. I am in some of the best shape of my life and it is 100% thanks to Angi. She keeps you motivated throughout the class and most importantly she is watching you and will not hesitate to correct you if you are doing a move wrong. Our health and safety is of utmost importance to Angi. Thank you Angi for all that you give us every day!
