"Before I started Coach Val's program I had very little energy, complained about everything, had a negative outlook on life, and basically lived off energy drinks. I was trying to keep up with my super busy lifestyle, juggle multiple businesses, numerous clients, a husband, and 4 teens! My nutrition was terrible, I was basically consuming all of my calories through drinks, had terrible water intake, and never took vitamins! I had a lot of fatigue throughout the day and gained about 40lbs in less than nine months!

I got connected with Val on Facebook, and, of course, she shined like a star! I was very captivated by her knowledge and perseverance as a Fitness/Nutrition Coach, and paid attention to all of her posts! She wasn't just a Coach who preached, but a Coach who led by example, which I absolutely loved. She was accepting new clients, so I decided to go for it and applied for her program! I did not have any reservations or concerns signing up with Val, because I knew she was exactly what I needed! I just had no idea how knowledgeable she really was. I was more than pleased with her program and didn't know I would be learning so much about nutrition, vitamins, fitness, mindset, goal setting, and multiple other facets in the nutrition and fitness industry. Her BADASS vFIT ACADEMY is so insightful and informative, you literally learn about anything and everything!

During my first week with Val, she sent me a journal, and I started working on my mindset immediately! She was always so positive, uplifting and encouraging during our coaching calls. I loved that she would never let me complain or talk negative on myself, which was life changing for me, as I've always been super hard on myself and would always do a lot of negative self-talk!

I am a FIRM believer in Coach Val's program, and I was able to lose 30+ lbs, which is really just the icing on the cake! This program is a life-changing experience in numerous ways. She even provides a list of books to read that are amazing for transitioning your mindset. I now have more self-love for myself, know how to start my day right, how important positive affirmations are, how important it is to be grateful, have good water intake, take vitamins, and the list goes on. Another nice addition is the drastic impact this program made on my family! My family basically only drinks water now; we got rid of sugar and have monk fruit in our home; we eat and cook healthier! It is truly a life-changing experience for my entire household! I am a true believer in Val's program and feel like everyone can use some Val in their lives!!"

"Before I started this program I felt insecure and disappointed; tried so many things over the years, but sticking to it was my number one problem. I was constantly comparing myself to others and wishing I looked like someone else. I saw Val's Instagram and realized that she had a training program, so I reached out to her. I'm so glad I did because it was the best decision I have ever made for myself. 

When we were talking on the phone, Val was more concerned about my mental well-being than anything else and to me, it just clicked. BVF Academy was a lot of learning, assignments, exercises, and mindset work. But along with that came many changes and incredible results! I always felt like it wasn't fair that I was constantly struggling and putting in all of this hard work to be who I wanted to be and look how I wanted to look when others were just doing whatever they wanted, yet I was always on a diet?! Then one day, after months of working with Val, journaling, working out, affirmations, etc....my mind shifted. All of this hard work was a choice; I chose ME! I feel strong, happy, at peace with who I am, and have let go of what others think of me. I stopped comparing myself to others.

This program has taught me so much about dedication, and I feel 100% capable of keeping up this lifestyle. I do not want to go back to that small, insecure woman that I was before. I've changed so much mentally and physically! I am happy with my body; I am lean and so strong now. I feel confident in the gym, confident in my clothes, and I wear a smaller size now. Excited to see where I am a year from now, thanks to this program! It truly changed my life! Thank you for believing in me and teaching me that I am 100% capable and stronger than I ever gave myself credit for! I love you, Val!"

"Before I found Val, I was constantly feeling tired, weak, bloated, irritable, and fatigued. I lacked serious confidence in myself with the life choices I was making, including relationships and my career. I knew I was sensitive to wheat and had a major sugar addiction, but I continued to fuel my body with processed foods that made me feel sick. I worked out and tried making healthy food choices, but always caved at the sight of processed carbs and sugar.

After multiple discussions with Val, I was worried I wouldn't commit and would always give in to the temptations and continue on the hamster wheel of diet and exercise. But once I committed to this journey, I realized I had more to do than just eat healthier and exercise. I had learned so much...why do I fuel my body the way I do, how should I begin to fuel it, how to make healthier choices while dining out, recognize my inner voice, figure out the unhealthy patterns I always fell into, and most importantly, identify why I always gave up on myself. Val provided strategies and tools to help me identify various triggers and how to surpass them in a healthy manner. I learned that I don't NEED sweets, I WANT them when I'm bored or when I am sitting on the couch. Throughout my journey, I have been able to build confidence within myself and allow it to pour into other areas of my life! I can accept a compliment and actually believe it now! I am stronger physically, mentally and emotionally. Val has changed my life forever in the most positive way! She has helped me find my inner badass and let her shine. Val gave me the tools to find myself and give me my life back. The life I have always dreamed of and never thought I could get there."

"I started working with Val in early August. The very first week of the plan, my world shattered as I faced the reality of a divorce. Mentally, I knew I was in for one heck of an uphill battle. I didn’t recognize myself at that point in life. I was one of those people who was asking: ‘How did I get here? How could I let myself go like this?’ There were days when I felt as though the waves of grief and anger at both my life situation and my physical situation felt crushing.

Some knowledge/realization I gained along with wins I celebrated these past months: healed/strengthened knee; muscle growth & strength; realizing consistency is key; intermittent fasting is not that hard; confidence lifting solo at the gym—and I now enjoy it; ups and downs with weight, but facing the issue...getting back on track; importance of meal prepping...especially snacks and lunches; upped my water intake; variety of vegetables are now in my diet; with the exception of a few evenings - gave up alcohol! And therefore, also gave up bad food choices post-alcohol!!!

Val never stopped being my cheerleader, my coach, and my friend. We showed up weekly for our phone calls, and I learned so much each week about the process, food, importance of water intake, mental toughness, a NO-EXCUSE state of mind, and many other valuable learning lessons. Val, your level of care in your clients’ lives is truly one of a kind. I’m beyond excited to work with you and the rest of the girls in the Elite Group. One day at a time...sometimes one hour, one step"

"Honestly I was worried about reaching out to Val, when I saw her post on Facebook about coaching. You know how it is. That first step is always the hardest! But Val is an awesome coach, and her online program is super simple, yet effective! Any levels are welcome, and her workout app is so easy to use! I love the community of other women for extra support, motivation, and encouragement! I already lost a good amount of weight ~almost 10 pounds since I started~, and I feel so much stronger and more confident. I forgot how nice it was to feel so good about myself!

I joined her 12-Week Home Program, and it has a great structure based on progressions. So exercises get harder with time, but I never feel bored, or lose motivation! It's even adjustable for your needs. I had to switch out my walking/running for cycling, and Val made it happen. Val always pushes me to do my best, but I don’t feel anxious about letting anyone down but myself.

Ladies, if you need help to get started, don’t be afraid to reach out to her!!"
