I have lived at Vita and have had an amazing experience. The staff is so friendly and welcoming, making it feel like home and consistently checking in to make sure I’m doing okay and making friends. The social events are honestly so fun. They have an on-site personal trainer who comes in to coach boot camp, full-body conditioning, yoga, pilates, and boxing which are legit workouts, no need for a gym membership elsewhere.
