I’ve been working with Valerie for a total of about a year-and-a-half now and initially came to her eating 1168 calories per day. I had signed up with an online program to do a 30-day cut and after the 30 days were over, I kept doing the cut but wasn’t getting any results. My goal has always been to lose body fat and gain muscle. I have always wanted that competition bikini girl look but have never known how to achieve it on my own. Exercise has been a part of my life since I was in high school and has become more so as I’ve grown older. Even though I am a mother of four, I don’t want to use that as an excuse for me not being able to reach my physique goals. I feel like there is no reason that you cannot reach those goals, and Valerie has proven that after having 3 children of her own. I know that it CAN BE DONE! Valerie has taught me that with consistency, those goals can be achieved. After beginning with Valerie, she raised my 1168 calorie diet up to about 1600 calories right off the bat and I actually started losing weight! Not only was I losing weight but I was also gaining visible muscle. Valerie has always been available to answer my long list of questions that I always have for her and has never been annoyed with it. She’s always been very thorough answering my questions and explaining the reasoning for the training we are doing and the nutrition and macros she has prescribed to me. She always encourages me every week with positive words which helps me to stay consistent. She is always educating herself to learn more and then passes the information along to teach me as well. I’m grateful for her coaching and her friendship.

I came to Val because I was frustrated with what I was doing. Although, I was eating healthy, doing cardio and lifting, something was not right. I was bloated everyday, I was tired, gaining weight and so hungry all the time. Val listened to all my concerns and came up with a plan of action fast. She is always quick to answer and give you positive vibes. After about 12-16 weeks, my sibo, bloating, extreme hungry started to dissolve. My hormones started to calm down and my body started to lean out. I was able to acquire so much knowledge from Val about nutrition and training and learned how to really listen to what my body needs!

Where do I begin?… Long story short… the three months now that I have been working with Valerie have been life changing, literally! I have learned so much about my physical and mental abilities, I am amazed, and the results that have come from her training, guidance and help have been beyond my expectations!!! I told myself that for 3 months I was going to do exactly what she said and throw everything else out the window, and she has helped me transform my body more in that short time than I ever have in my life! I have always struggled with my weight and with the motivation it takes to keep going, but being accountable to someone and having the ability to communicate with someone has been such a blessing for me. I cant even begin to try to put into words how grateful I am toward Valerie or for the gratitude I have toward this experience, for me it is truly a life changing experience and I cant wait to see what the next chapter in my training will bring!…

Valerie is an all-around amazing coach, her programming is easy to follow yet challenges me, and she is nothing but kind, encouraging, and incredibly motivating. I am not afraid to talk to her about things in my personal training, she is understanding and works with me to make progress despite whatever odds I’m up against! I love working with her and look forward to tackling the future of my personal fitness with her for a long time.
