Jada Hooks, LMT, CPT, Wellness Strategist is the founder of V2Fitness Studio and V2Fitness JaaSpaa, serving clients throughout the Greater New Haven area. After 27 years in Hospital Administration at the Hospital of Saint Raphael, Jada transitioned into the wellness field following her own life-changing health journey.
With a family history of heart disease, rising blood pressure, and a pre-diabetes diagnosis, Jada reached a turning point. Through intentional nutrition, strength training, stress management, and therapeutic self-care, she lost over 178 pounds naturally, reversed her pre-diabetes, lowered her cardiovascular risk factors, and rebuilt her health from the inside out.
Her commitment to heart health is deeply personal. Having lost her mother at a young age, Jada understands how fragile life can feel — and how important it is to protect the years we are given. That early loss quietly shaped her determination to live stronger, longer, and more intentionally.
That transformation didn’t just change her body — it reshaped her purpose.
As a Licensed Massage Therapist and Certified Personal Trainer, Jada integrates clinical insight, strength-based training, therapeutic massage, and nervous system regulation to support pain relief, mobility, stress reduction, and cardiovascular awareness. Her work is personalized and strategic, which is where her role as a Wellness Strategist becomes central.
As a Wellness Strategist, Jada looks beyond isolated symptoms. She helps clients connect the dots between stress, inflammation, heart health, movement patterns, recovery, and lifestyle habits. Her approach is holistic and preventative—supporting not just how clients feel today, but how they function years from now.
She is also the creator of the V2Fitness Lifestyle community, an online fitness challenge group that has inspired over 1,300 members to pursue healthier, stronger lives with accountability and intention.
Jada believes that transformation begins internally—by strengthening the mind, regulating stress, honoring the spirit, and caring for the body consistently. Through the fusion of therapeutic massage and strength training, she helps clients Envision and Transform—mind, body, and heart—without limitation.
Her mission now is to help others "
Envision and Transform" from the inside out and help them realize that there are no limitations to what one can achieve with determination and consistency. The two most important factors in reaching any goal is of course developing and strengthening the MIND and the SPIRIT. Change begins from the inside out and therefore must be wholistic in approach. This sparks the desire to combine the benefits of fitness and strength with the self care techniques of therapeutic massage equaling a Strengthening in Mind, Body and Spirit.
