My Story

THE HEART BEHIND HEART STRONG

Hi, I’m Vanessa — founder of HeartStrong Activewear.

In October 2024, my life changed forever. I suffered a sudden heart attack and flatlined for four minutes. But by God’s grace, I came back. 🙏🏾

Before that day, I was all in on fitness bodybuilding, staying active, and pushing myself hard. But I wasn’t doing it the right way. I was chasing size over health, skipping cardio, and ignoring balance. I thought I was unstoppable.

That wake-up call taught me a lesson I’ll never forget. Through cardiac rehab, I rebuilt myself  body, mind, and spirit. Today, my heart is stronger. My mindset is sharper. And my faith is unshakable.

HeartStrong isn’t just a brand.
It’s a movement about resilience, recovery, and rising stronger than before. It’s about training smarter, fueling your body with care, and looking fierce while doing it.

I created HeartStrong Activewear for women like me go-getters, fighters, and believers. Whether you’re lifting, skating, walking through healing, or chasing your biggest goals, I want you to feel confident, supported, and HeartStrong.

This isn’t just activewear.
This is a comeback story and I’d love for you to be part of it.
