Christi Bertelson
VIP COACH
Christi is a proud Air Force wife, mom of two, and personal trainer who knows how hard it can be to feel like yourself again. Despite doing everything “right” — lifting, eating clean, getting her steps in — the weight wouldn’t budge. She didn’t recognize herself in the mirror, felt uncomfortable in her clothes, and dreaded getting dressed.
After breaking her foot and hitting a low point, she turned to the VIP Weight Loss program. She quickly learned this wasn’t a quick fix, but a step-by-step, medically guided plan built around real food, real habits, real support, and real results. It was the missing piece she’d been searching for.
Now down 18 pounds and finally feeling free in her own skin, Christi is excited to help other women experience that same freedom, confidence, and sustainable change.

She became certified as a group fitness instructor and personal trainer.
She is certified in Body Combat, Body Pump, Body Flow, and Warrior Strength. Mrs. Ramsey obtained her master’s from Bowie State University in 2015 and started working at Doctors Community Hospital as a breast cancer nurse practitioner managing their high-risk program.

Melissa is a recently completed Aspen University’s Doctor of Nursing Practice program in leadership in 2023 with a 3.85 GPA.
