I have enjoyed body building for several years and have made great strides until I was crushed…read morebetween two cars and mangled under the car that hit me. Twenty years and dozens of rehab sessions later, I wanted to get back into good shape but didn't know what methods were best with all the artificial joints I have and prepping for surgeries to come. Meeting and discussing this with Val about how he could help intrigued me. We both knew the body well and I was convinced he knew what he was on the up and up. Two months into training with Val, I wish I met him earlier. He challenges my will where I 'think' I want to stop...but I don't. He encourages and not pity me, he expects my best and I find the way to do things. When you have the right guide to where you want to go, you will reach it. Val has helped me in my journey and I will continue to accept his expert knowledge...because it works for me. Thanks Val! LA Bembry

He was professional, friendly and informative and so we signed up to work out with him. Our experience was excellent. Val constantly emphasized that all exercises needed to be performed, first of all, safely and, second of all, effectively. He crafted individual programs for us, taking into account our specific, individual needs and he patiently guided us through various routines, always offering encouragement and constructive feedback. Val approached our workouts seriously but was also someone with whom we could share a laugh. He has motivated us to reinvigorate our workouts, for which we are very grateful. Without hesitation, we would recommend Val to anyone who wishes to improve their fitness and health. Ed and Donna G.
