Valene Downing

I feel so lucky to have come in contact with Val through her Weight Training for Women classes. She is professional, bright, positive and an outstanding motivator! She is in excellent shape herself and pushes you to do your very best at every workout. She always explains the purpose of the exercises she is leading, tells you which muscles are involved and personalizes her approach and adapts the exercises for anyone who has injuries. I gained strength, confidence and energy by attending her workout sessions.

Val's workouts are fun and intense at the same time! I love being able to feel which muscles I worked on during the days following a workout, it's an immediate result! During workouts Val is great at explaining which muscles you're working and why, and she is an excellent motivator!! I have done things over the last 2 years working with Val that I never thought I could do, and I feel fantastic!! I am a 46 year old mother of 2 with no more back pain and no need to wear pants and long sleeves all summer!!
