I have trained with Val for years, both remote and in-person, and his sessions have always been incredible. He combines great knowledge with a very personable approach for balanced training sessions pitched perfectly to my abilities. Val also has always tailored our sessions to my historical injuries and whilst training with him, I have made gains that I could never have achieved on my own.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Val to anyone looking for a personal trainer; not only a very effective trainer but a really nice guy too!

The best trainer you could fine. Many thanks Val 🙏.

Val has been training me for ages! Both in person and remotely. He's always helped me massively in achieving my goals. He's super friendly and approachable so the sessions are fun! But he's also army... so he's tough as nails to help get those extra few reps out of you. Can't recommend him enough!

I first met Val in 2008 when he applied to join the senior Yeomanry Cavalry Regiment in the UK. He excelled during basic training and immediately after represented his unit on the highly prestigious Cambrian Patrol competition achieving the coveted Bronze Medal, the highest the level Squadron has ever achieved.

In 2012 he qualified as a civilian Personal Trainer and in 2015 he completed the (British) Army Physical Training Instructors course.

Val developed a successful business where he delivered personalised training for rehabilitation and health improvement in addition to assisting other individuals looking to lose weight, build muscle or improve general fitness.

Within the Squadron Val delivered level appropriate training and advice to individuals who were looking to join the Army Reserves, but were struggling with their initial fitness assessments, through to the more elite members of the unit.

Val experience makes him a uniquely qualified and very competent trainer, and I still call on his skills to assist our recruits with their basic fitness levels.

Val is a genuine, passionate professional, he made me feel comfortable when I felt out of my comfort zone and took me through my workouts, explaining each exercise and it’s benefits, while pushing me further than I thought I could go. He takes the time to get to know you and truly understand your needs and goals, highly recommend.

Val is a wonderful trainer. I am not a naturally strong or fitness focussed person, but when training with him I not only felt safe and supported, I also felt a lack of judgement and also ended up enjoying myself! I saw a difference in my abilities under his guidance, and even started to look forward to training sessions. Val is super knowledgeable, kind and generous with his time. I would recommend him to anyone :)

Val is an incredible coach and I thoroughly enjoyed my time working with him. He now supports me online since he has moved his services to the US. Vals personality and knowledge makes a perfect companion whilst you keep yourself on track for your goals

I'm based in the UK. I asked Val for some help with creating some PT sessions for me to conduct at the gym and he was a great help. I can always ask for further help is required to spice up the programme with new exercises.

Val helped me achieve my fitness goals by getting down to my desired weight. He helped through in person and online coaching. I personally lack motivation sometimes, so him motivating me and reminding me of my core drive to reach my goals helped me a lot! Would highly recommend, truly a diamond amongst stones.

Val is an absolutely fantastic trainer with whom sessions have become a core part of my weekly routine. I have trained with Val for several years and, in that time, he's taken me from someone with virtually no experience of training and a hatred of exercise to someone who massively values their physical strength and fitness. Val is friendly, kind, approachable, and adaptive; he carefully works around any barriers or injuries I have and has worked hard to create routines which are custom to me. I couldn't ask for more from a personal trainer.
