Virginia Phillips President & COO

Virginia's commitment to health, nutrition and fitness includes both personal and professional accomplishments. She has been a physical fitness advocate for most of her adult life. This love of physical fitness and training drew her to bodybuilding, where she has won awards as a successful competitor in many bodybuilding contests. She is also a nationally certified fitness trainer.

In addition, Phillips is an experienced business woman. She was part owner and general manager of Service Experts, a Florida-based heating and air conditioning company, which she helped grow into a $6 million company before selling it to a national public consolidator. Upon selling, she became the company's district manager, and oversaw the work of 15 companies with revenues of $55M. She is a licensed real estate salesperson and is also a licensed mechanical contractor.

Her business background, financial training and avocation for physical fitness makes for a strong combination as she opens the first 20 Minutes To Fitness studio in Sarasota.
