In school, Vickie ran cross country, played tennis, and joined the basketball team. Running became her favorite fitness activity as a child, and that love continued throughout her life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following high school, Vickie attended Florida International University, where she&nbsp;<strong>studied exercise physiology<\/strong>. Then, after college, she raised two children and continued to pursue her passion for running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mountdorafit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vickie-blate.jpg\" alt=\"Vickie Blate\" class=\"wp-image-132\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mountdorafit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vickie-blate.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mountdorafit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vickie-blate-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mount-dora-pilates-coach-amp-personal-trainer\">Mount Dora Pilates Coach &amp; Personal Trainer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1992, Vickie began\u00a0<strong>personal training in South Florida<\/strong>, which lead to her renting space in an existing gym and starting her own full-fledged\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mountdorafit.com\/personal-training\/\">personal training<\/a>\u00a0company. While she continued running, Vickie developed an interest in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mountdorafit.com\/pilates\/\">Pilates<\/a>\u00a0and began her Pilates coursework at Balance Body Pilates School. Once she completed the mat, reformer, Cadillac, and chair Pilates course modules, Vickie went on to attain her\u00a0<strong>Balance Body Certification<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mount-dora-running-trainer\">Mount Dora Running Trainer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a runner and participant in many marathons, Vickie also became involved in the creation of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/mountdorahalfmarathon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mount Dora Half Marathon<\/a>. She had previously learned of and started visiting Mount Dora while&nbsp;<strong>training for the Boston Marathon<\/strong>; she relied on the rolling hills to provide useful training for running through Boston, and after several weeks decided to map a full marathon course through Mount Dora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"setting-roots-in-mount-dora\">Setting Roots in Mount Dora<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Vickie moved to Mount Dora in 2006, inspired by her time training there and experiencing the history, culture, and hospitality of Lake County. Later that year, Vickie started a personal training and Pilates business in Mount Dora\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/mountdorafit.com\/homepage\/\">On the Run Fitness &amp; Pilates<\/a>. She\u00a0<strong>opened her own studio in 2007<\/strong>\u00a0in the Sunset Building in downtown Mount Dora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since Vickie\u2019s studio was and still is&nbsp;<strong>the only Lake County Pilates studio with reformers<\/strong>, interest was high from existing Pilates clients as well as newcomers. In the coming years, as Mount Dora residents became more interested in Pilates as a fitness option, the studio expanded twice and eventually moved to its current location\u2014the largest facility with ample parking\u2014at 19051 US Highway 441, Studio 200, in Mount Dora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To this day, Vickie continues to live in downtown Mount Dora. When she is not in the studio or on a run, she loves to cook, raise orchids, and enjoy red wine. She has two children and four grandchildren.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vickie Blate is the owner of On the Run Fitness &amp; Pilates, a Lydiard-Certified coach, and a USA Track and Field Level 2 Coach.
