Meet The Team

Helen

Owner + Coach

Hiii! My name is Helen Newell, and I am the owner + CEO of The Venus Club LLC.

Originally from a small town in Maine, I fell in love with fitness as a teenager as a way to help me build confidence + heal myself. I found personal training 6+ years ago and quickly realized that there was nothing else I would rather do than help people discover that for themselves. I have since worked with hundreds of people both online and in-person and am SO excited to take the next step in bringing my vision to a brick-and-mortar gym.

On that journey, I realized that my perfect, dream gym just didn’t exist. A space held together by its community, all-inclusive, built to support and empower through strength, and where women can walk in and feel at home.

After moving to Nashville and falling in love with the community and people here, the stars aligned on that dream. And with incredible support, here we are. I would absolutely love for you to come join The Venus Club and see for yourself!

Mira

Coach

My strength training journey began in 2020 after moving to Portland, Oregon from my home city of Philadelphia. I began experiencing debilitating back pain and I realized I needed to make a huge change. I signed up for a 12 week at-home workout + nutrition program and to my surprise, I completely fell in love with strength training. Not only did my back pain go away, every other aspect of my life improved in ways I didn’t even think were possible. My confidence soared, my body moved better than it ever had, and I began to embody the person I always wanted to be.

I knew I had to share this passion with others, which led to getting my certification. Since then, I have worked with clients of all ages and fitness levels but specifically have loved working with women and queer folks. My goal is always to make my clients feel safe, heard, respected and empowered. Fitness is for everyone and I’m honored to join The Venus Club in creating a new wave of inclusive fitness here in Nashville.

  • “Helen has been an incredible personal trainer, guiding me through a transformative fitness journey. From the moment I started training with her, I knew I had found someone truly special. Helen not only helped me discover my passion for powerlifting but also became a pillar of support through every phase of my journey. One of Helen's standout qualities is her ability to listen. Over the past four years, she has attentively listened to my struggles, aspirations, and goals, crafting a customized training program that not only aligns with my physical goals but also nurtures my emotional and mental well-being through sustainable lifestyle recommendations. Her flexibility in adapting the program to my changing needs and circumstances has been what I needed to stay consistent and motivated. I wholeheartedly recommend Helen to anyone who’s looking to improve their life through fitness and self empowerment!”

  • “Working with Helen for the past four years has been transformative for my fitness journey. She has witnessed firsthand my evolution from struggling with basic movements like squats and deadlifts to confidently navigating the gym floor. Previously plagued by impostor syndrome in this environment, I now find solace and safety within these walls. Under Helen's guidance, I've learned to assert my presence, push my limits, and cultivate self-awareness. Training extends far beyond completing a 45-minute session; it's about undergoing a holistic 360-degree transformation.”

  • “Helen’s a phenomenal female personal trainer who possesses an exceptional blend of brilliance, kindness, and an ability to boost confidence through her energy. Helen’s PUMP classes fostered an environment where individuals felt energised, empowered and capable. With her expertise and supportive approach, she’s a standout in the fitness world, providing an uplifting and impactful training experience for all. I’ve never seen goodbye’s like it.”

  • “Helen is absolutely amazing - she introduced me to weights, which I found very intimidating before I met her. I made huge progress and I saw the best results after Helen classes - I gained strength and confidence, improved my technique, shaped my body and I simply felt better - both physically and mentally. Helen listens, understands and adjusts where needed, and creates an open, honest and safe environment. I’m very grateful I had an opportunity to work with Helen and she will be missed in London!!”

    Karolina

  • “Helen is the best personal trainer I have had. Her approach to being strong and lifting heavy is healthy and sustainable for me. She is very approachable and pushes me to work at my best capacity. It’s so much fun to workout with her :)”

    Shreya

  • “I’ve been working with Helen for about 5 months. In my time with her I’ve made at least three times the progress I made with my prior trainer with whom I spent about 8 months. She is a diligent listener and truly cares about all aspects of your health journey. She encourages you to listen to your body’s needs, to try your hardest and push yourself, and to challenge your own mindset about exercises you don’t think you can do. She’s taught me how to work through the mental roadblocks I face. Most importantly, she’s taught me that I’m a really strong person! I didn’t know I could do all the things she’s shown me I can! I’m so excited for my future health and wellness journey because I know she will keep encouraging and guiding me. She really has a huge heart and puts everything she has into carefully crafting your unique fitness program. She also makes herself available to you for questions anytime, and she’s very responsive when you do message her. And, she’s super fun to be around. I highly recommend you give training with her a try! I promise you’ll be glad you did!”
