Introduction

Hi! I'm Valerie, an ACE certified personal trainer and competitive athlete! I'm a NASM certified Physique Bodybuilding Coach and ACE certified Weight Loss Specialist. My passion is to help people gain their bodies back through consistent, simple (but not always easy) efforts. I'm a current bodybuilding competitor (NPC Figure) and former competitive powerlifter, runner, and swimmer. Whether you're looking to get lean or strong or just get mobile and healthy, I have experience with many workout styles and truly believe if you cant have fun, it isnt sustainable and youre not doing it right! I incorporate from my background in everything from military and nationally competitive powerlifting to dancing to make sure that your workouts are fun and meet your personality just as much as they meet your goals. I provide a holistic approach to coaching - we can stick to personal training only, or yoy can take advantage of FULL coaching with an app including personalized habit/goal/metric tracking that are tailored to you! If you are Navy and need help passing the PRT or BCA, mention that! Ask about my: *Normatech leg compression recovery system used by professional teams and athletic trainers. *inBody scanner for accurate composition analysis (segmental body fat, muscle, etc). Let's set up a zoom call to chat! My home studio in my garage includes professional equipment ranging from a variety of bars, racks, dumbbells, kettlebells, and cable machines you'd find in a commercial gym to dynamic, innovative equipment to keep workouts fun and interesting - like water-filled torpedo bags by Aktiv! Tell me your goals and what kind of music you like and leave the rest to me!

Val continues to be an incredible partner in helping to create a healthier me. More important than weight or body fat % (which have both improved dramatically) was the change in mindset that she helped foster. I highly recommend The Fitness Forum (but especially Val) to anyone interested in improving!

Trust Val!! She knows what she is doing, she is committed to your LONG term fitness and it takes time to break decades of diet culture, poor mindset, ect. She has been my coach for about 8 months. I'm a Navy officer and mom of 2 small kids. I've lost about 15 pounds so far which seems really slow but that is during major life changes such as PCS and a recent 6 week tdy to Hawaii (during which I lost 4 pounds AND enjoyed myself). The bigger difference is my mindset I've finally let go of needing to lose it quickly and I'm just focused on refusing to give up. Consistency wins the day. And I'm finally at a stage where I'm loving fitness and I want more and more and my goals are so much bigger than when I started! I have so much more energy and things are really starting to take off and I know that now that my mindset has really changed the weight will come off faster too and even if it doesn't, I'm in it for the long haul because I want this for me not just for the Navy. Do it, choose Val!

Valerie has been nothing but understanding and on top of my training. She has helped me overcome obstacles I had never believed I would conquer, and she is continuing to help me every step of the way! We always have a great time and she is such a fantastic listener about my needs and even just how my day has been. She is always available to chat asap with any and all questions I have whenver I have them. I would hands down recommend her to anyone who ever needs that push to a fit and happy life! I will continue to work with her for much longer and will even keep in touch as I conquer more milestones throughout my journey. I couldn't have been luckier to have found her!
