“I’m so glad I participated in the six week fitness challenge! The food plan was flexible enough that I could find healthy things to eat even when I was traveling. I like that the workouts gave me a chance to build up my strength, plus I got to vary the workouts and discovered Zumba!

The most motivating part for me was that once a week photo check-in because I really wanted that transformation to be visible in muscle tone. It really helps keep me on track. Thanks so much to Valerie for keeping me motivated!”

“I am proud to say I have known Valerie for almost 20 years.  Valerie is dedicated to lifestyle of fitness. I was so grateful that I recently had an opportunity to participate in one of Valerie’s 6 week challenges…it not only resulted in an amazing transformation of my body, but the journey also lifted my spirit and reminded me of the importance of health and fitness. Valerie’s support directed me to all the information I needed to succeed with my meal plans and supplements.  With her expertise, I changed my body and I will continue to work with Valerie to further my fitness goals!”

“Valerie is an amazing personal trainer and person. She was committed and dedicated in helping me reach my goals throughout my fitness journey. I trained with her in person for 6 months and again a year later when I needed a jump start. I completed her at home 6 week challenge. That challenge made a huge difference in my life and how I view exercise. She set me up with home workout routines and a meal plan (which I still follow) but most of all, she showed me that it can be done at home. No excuses! I will forever be grateful to her for getting my lazy self off the couch once and for all. Even though I don’t directly train with her anymore, she still continues to check in on me and offer support. You won’t find a more caring, encouraging, supportive and  committed trainer than Valerie.”

“I took Val’s challenge with 2 goals, #1 I was hoping to understand nutrition and how it affects my body and #2 I was hoping to gain endurance for life activities with my 15 year old athlete daughter,, what I got was life changing in every way!! I not only lost weight, transformed my body, gained energy both in the gym and day to day routine,but I finally for the first time in my life understand the link between the food going in my mouth and how it affects every aspect of my body. Sounds simple enough but it took Val laying the plan out and keeping me accountable through the challenge to truly adopt it as a life practice! Since the challenge has ended I have continued to gain strength, endurance and crush goals that seem impossible! Just a couple of these latest goals include running a 6:31 mile(beating my super athletic daughters time)a 5k run at a 7:10 pace, running the whole 10k race. Please keep in mind I’m no runner, I don’t particularly love to run, but I have the ability to now so I do! Im training to do a 545 mile bike ride for charity ride in June that I’m excited to be able to help others with this gift Val has helped me accomplish! If your on the fence or just thinking about taking this challenge give yourself the best gift it could ever hope to receive, the five of living life healthy! I look forward to reading your amazing testimonies!”

“Valerie and I met a little over a year ago through a mutual group of friends.  It became evident very quickly that Valerie has committed her life to the betterment of herself mentally, emotionally, and physically as well as possessing an evident, insatiable passion and search for knowledge and understanding that she strives to pass along in the fitness arena. These qualities made beginning a one on one training relationship, a no brainer.  She exhibits unequaled enthusiasm when it comes to the support and development of the strengths she sees in her clients and a work ethic that few professionals possess.  Easily one of the best in the business”

“When I turned 65 in November and went on Medicare, I found a new doctor. At my first physical, he had six words for me: “Too high, too high, too high”. Weight, blood pressure, and cholesterol. He wanted to put me on medications, and I did not want that. He gave me the only alternative, which was a diet. Through the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays I tried, but only managed about ten pounds. And I was hungry a lot.

Val had been talking about her challenge, and I was not very enthused about it. But upon reflection, I needed something, so I agreed to try it. The first big change was eating smarter with more healthy foods, not necessarily trying to eat less of the unhealthy things I was used to. To my surprise, the first week I lost eight pounds. I new this was not a sustainable rate, but in six weeks I lost twenty-two pounds, more than double the loss of the previous nine weeks. The biggest surprise, though, was that I was now used to a new pattern of healthy eating, and I have been able to maintain a lower but steady weight loss. So far, fifty-one pounds, with a few (!) more to go. Despite the fact that I had to buy all new pants, I feel so much better.

My doctor was also pleasantly surprised, and although I am not there yet, he says that if I continue this new lifestyle, by my November one year physical, he won’t even be thinking of putting me on pills. So, Valerie, thank you very much! If anyone else is on the fence about trying Val’s challenge, I say “GO FOR IT!””

“I decided to join the challenge after knowing Val for years. We trained together in the past and I knew if anyone could get me back on track, it would be her. I live farther away now and needed something that fit into my schedule since I had a long work commute and 2 young kids at home, but I knew I needed to feel better. I tried a lot of the “usual” things to get back in shape after the kids but it was harder this time around. Val’s program was great. Easy to follow, all right there for me, and I could fit it in my day. The biggest plus is her! She checked in, was there for me, and I knew that she had the knowledge to help alter things when needed. So happy I decided to join – I am still following her plan and feel great. Lost weight, inches, and feel like I have more energy all while being able to juggle life.”

“I had been hearing about Val’s 6 week challenge from a friend. He was having such great results that I kept telling him, “you better tell me when the next one is”. I am so glad he shared this program with me. It was just what I needed to jump start my personal fitness, and also remind me to take time for myself each day. I loved the attainable and valuable weekly goals set by Val. They kept me on track and gave me something to continue to work for every week. Thanks for reminding me that I can do big things through starting with small steps!”

“When I started this challenge I was out of shape and out of options. I have tried countless diets and exercise routines and none of them worked. I truly was at a bad place and I figured I had nothing to lose. At the beginning I struggled. There were times I felt I would not make it to the end, but I kept going. I stuck to the routines and diet regime even though there were times I was tempted. Val gave me the blueprint to change my life and I didn’t want to let her down. I didn’t want to let myself down. Every week I saw my body change and the added benefit my mind changed. I went from having no confidence to being proud of my body and what I have accomplished. As it turns out this wasn’t just a program it was a total life transformation. Val know’s what she is doing. The plan she developed is priceless, she is giving people the opportunity to create lasting changes to how they view food, exercise and life. I am truly honored to have had this opportunity and know this is only the beginning.”

“Great results in 6 weeks – for real! By the 5th week I was finally fitting into clothes that I hadn’t worn in over a decade. The meal plan was a pleasant surprise because the portions were fair and I never went hungry. In fact, after the challenge ended I decided to keep going because it was sustainable and something was finally working for me. Val provides great recipes along the way and she is very supportive, quick to respond to questions and give personalized guidance. This challenge along with Val’s workouts finally gave me the answers I needed to make the progress I have been working towards for years.

Thank you”

“The past 6 weeks really made me get back on track and follow a really great diet and workout regiment. I was beyond pleased with my results, as I will be following the diet and continuing my workouts as I want to build more muscle. Having to check in every Monday with pics made me not only accountable but really enjoyed looking back at my progress throughout the 6 weeks with the pic. I highly encourage everyone to do the 6 week challenge as you’ll gain the motivation, confidence, and most importantly a better version of yourself. Lastly, there is no better coach than Coach Val as her expertise and professionalism made me know I was in good hands with her!

Highest Regards”
