Orlando Self-Care Spotlight: V- Elite Sports Performance & Fitness
By: Lauran Hahn
Welcome to this blog series on Orlando Self-care spots! In each blog post, we highlight local businesses that nurture mind, body, and spirit.
I am featuring these Orlando business owners because they have focused their life’s work on helping people be the best version of themselves, which in turn helps make Orlando, the City Beautiful, a more beautiful place to live.
If you’ve been struggling to make your self-care needs a priority, make sure you read the first blog post in this series, Importance of Self-Care.
This week, Mindful Living Counseling Orlando’s therapist Christina Martinez, LMHC is sharing her very own favorite self-care spot, V-Elite Sports Performance and Fitness.
Christina says, “Training at the gym or going to a boot camp has always been a place of stress relief and confidence building for me. As a person who lives with autoimmune disease, the intensity and pacing need to be modified over time to better fit my current state and finding a trainer that can understand my needs has been challenging.
My trainer, Tai Vann has been phenomenal. I can walk into the gym with confidence knowing he has a routine set up for me that will be difficult enough but also balanced enough where it does not trigger an autoimmune flare-up. Since training with Tai, I have learned to have more awareness of my body’s threshold and communicate clearly when I need to pause.
Tai Vann encourages communication to better my experience and avoid over-stressing the body. When I feel my heart rate is getting too high and I feel uneasy, he guides me into a breathing exercise to come back down before the next routine. When she’s not sure if she can do an exercise, Tai is patient and encourages her to do what she can. Overall, Christina always leaves feeling de-stressed, empowered, and confident in the work she did that day.”
About V- Elite Sports Performance & Fitness
V-Elite Sports Performance & Fitness was created by Tai Vann in 2011 during his fighting career in MMA. Over the years, he has been building it and connecting the dots by putting together fitness programs and expanding his clientele to include youth, adults, and seniors.
Some of the programs offered are 1 on 1 Personal Training, Private Group Training, Outdoor Group Fitness Bootcamps, Youth Sports Performance, Fitness for Seniors, Mobile/On-Site Fitness Training, and Online Training.

What is the most frequent compliment you get about your space for self-care?
It would be a combination of the Confidence, Motivation, and Self-Esteem boost that my clients attain.
What is your favorite self-care service item and why?
My favorite self-care service would be my Breathing Technique and Focus Stretch sessions. There are many people who are not fully knowledgeable of the proper techniques through breathing and stretching and the benefits that come along with understanding and practicing them consistently.
Why is your business a great self-care spot for people with anxiety?
Based on research, the psychological and physical benefits of exercise have been known to help improve mood and to reduce anxiety.
What is your favorite mental health quote, tidbit, or mantra?
My favorite mental health quote that I commonly catch myself using with many of my clients is “ The workouts are not getting easier, You are just getting stronger”.
What is your personal favorite self-care activity?
My favorite self-care activity I would say would be a simple low-intensity workout. Whether it be a walk or light jog or a combination of bodyweight exercises.
