Real Stories of Improved Mobility

I learned to do exercises that I thought I could do, but done the right way I realized I couldn’t even do one whereas I thought I could do 20.
Dr. N. Raza
I just celebrated my 40th birthday and I am proud of how I look and feel. I am now able to stand up when I get out of bed, my neck has not had nearly as many issues as before, my scapulas have gone down significantly, my body shape is much more toned and fit.
Dr Maureen C
Since I started with Val six months ago, I feel stronger, I have improved balance, and I have a stronger feeling of self-confidence. He's been very encouraging and I look forward to each session.
Bob Closson
Since I began my health program with Val, I've gained noticeable leg strength and I have much better balance, especially getting into or out of the tub. I'm making new changes daily and no longer need my blood pressure medication thanks to my personalized program.
Leslie Klein
I’ve learned how to pursue physical fitness, not just through exercise, but through good nutrition. I also know how to control and use my muscles a lot better than I did before. I feel healthy and well and am able to lead an active full life at 74 yrs. old.
Marcia C
I feel more energetic! I used to have lower back pain. I don't have lower back pain anymore. It's the energy [I get from the program] and feeling good about myself.
Sally E
I'm able to climb the 14 stairs in my house for the first time in 20 months. Different people have worked with me from hospital, to rehab and at home. Val tops them all.
Mr. O Lamptey
Val has done more for me than my regular doctor has ever done. I was afraid to go up the stairs before. I needed pills just to do my day. With the program, I'm losing weight and I feel so much better.
Dorothy G
I have lost 50 pounds in a year with Val. I used to take Motrin every day for my back and knees. That pain is gone. No Motrin in 6 months. I feel 25 years younger and have endless energy. I can hike at 12,000 feet and not suck wind. Thank you so very much Val!
Stan Kemp
Val has changed my life. He adjusts each of our sessions based upon how i am feeling in the moment and how I look to him. He has been a God send to me. I am feeling much better and look forward to continuous improvement under Val’s guidance.
Deb Malet
At first, I couldn’t even do one pushup. Now, I can do three sets of 18! I thought lunges must be some form of torture. Even though I was an out-of-shape 59 year-old, I’ve had no injuries! Thanks, Val!
Shirley K
I was not able to stand out of a chair very well at first. My balance was a problem for me before I started with Val. He got me working on posture and a series of balance exercises and strengthening. It’s really paid off. I feel I’ve gotten much stronger and I am walking with much more control. I am very pleased and very gratified.
Martha I
I'm moving better, I'm getting out of chairs with ease, and I'm feeling strong. I've even lost some weight, too. Val is the best teacher, and he motivates me to do things I didn't think I could do anymore.
Bea Bates
The experience that both my wife and I have had with Val has been really game-changing. Both of us have seen a lot of growth working with Val. I’ve tried a lot of strategies before, but this is by far the best fitness and wellness experience I’ve had.
Reuben Aiton
It all started with my posture and my balance. I couldn't really turn around anymore without thinking I was going to fall. I was doing an exercise routine before I met Val, but Val showed me why it wasn't helping and what I needed. My doctor and my family can't believe it - how well I move now.
Gretchen W
Val is extremely knowledgeable. He listens and evaluates specific needs and issues to be addressed. He understands the need to listen to his clients in order to formulate a personalized approach to the goals of the client. He utilizes the scheduled time efficiently and completely. I give a 5+ star rating, well worth the time and investment.
