Soma VT Soma VT is a gym offering personal training, small group training and massage therapy. Every exercise programmed at Soma Vermont has a reason.

Soma Vermont is a relationship-driven gym centered around personal growth, relationship building and attention to detail. Soma VT offers personal training, small group training, gym membership, massage therapy and works closely with Movement Matters, a Physical Therapy practice that shares the space at 2069 Williston Road in South Burlington. Sam Orfanidis, one of Soma VT’s trainers, has over 12 y

ears of experience as a personal trainer and owned his own gym, Spectac, for 5 years. He served as the Director of Operations and Head Strength and Conditioning Coach with Concept Move for 3 years prior to joining Soma Vermont. He also has coached a women’s powerlifting team which has won several awards over the years, both individual accolades and team victories. Emma Murphy recently completed an additional certification through the National Academy of Sports Medicine to add to her fast-growing resume of experience which already includes work in dance, martial arts, physical therapy and personal training. Emma herself is an accomplished athlete within the martial arts community and serves as an example for those that she coaches. Soma Vermont is influenced by Kevin’s work in professional baseball with the Oakland Athletics and his work with the National Strength and Conditioning Association, where he has served as State Director and been a part of numerous advisory boards. Kevin also has a passion for health outcomes with his work as an Exercise Physiologist with the Academy of Sports Medicine. Every coach has a plan for their members and are seeking to drive their health and fitness outcomes in the safest and most effective ways possible. Soma is a place where members can be comfortable and confident that their health and fitness are in capable hands.

Wait, there's two Branbury Classics this year?

On June 28th, A few Soma VT staff and members will be taking on the Vermont Sun triathlon or Branbury Classic!

This will be the third year running with and co. Thank you for the inspiration Shelley!

There's still time to join us. We recommend practicing for the paddle portion so that you don't finish dead last like .guild did... See photo 3 for photo evidence.

Meet Sam.

Ohhh, if we had the words to describe Sam.

Sam has been training for over 9 years with coach Sam. Even with a hectic work schedule, Sam still fights tooth and nail to show up. He always says “I need to come in, because I need to…and it makes me feel better.”

He has shown that life can be challenging, but even with those challenges, you can still make time for yourself.

Meet Tori!

Tori is a powerhouse - an all-year-round two sport athlete, field hockey ref, business owner, and mama - she brings the heat to every workout!

She’s been training consistently at Soma for 2.5 years and to be a part of her journey has been such a rewarding experience. She continuously shows up whether working through an injury, rehabbing from a major surgery or living day-to-day with chronic illness - and you’d never know it from the outside looking in.

Thank you Tori, for showing us what dedication and a love for the game looks like!

Meet your 2026 Soma team and partners!

We consider ourselves very lucky to have the team we have now! Everyone here truly cares about the members and people we have walking in and out of the gym.

We had very little fighting involving taking a new photo as well!

Allison has been training at Soma VT since Day 1, bringing joy, care and effort every time she shows up to train.

She has also been one of the most consistent people within her own training program that we’ve seen, rarely missing workouts and finding ways to get workouts in on the road or elsewhere when her schedule demands it.

There is a lot to be learned from Allison in how she goes about her daily routine, from warming up with intent to taking on the dreaded Air Bike (and winning!), Allison shows us what it looks like to make fitness a part of life.

Thank you, Allison!
